The upgrade script plug-in allows you to upgrade a script from a previous release of Abaqus to the current release of Abaqus. The plug-in allows you to do the following:

• Upgrade across several releases of Abaqus.

• Choose both the release of the original script and the release of the resulting upgraded script.

• Upgrade a single script or all the scripts in a specified directory.

• Preview the changes to your script that resulted from the upgrade process, and, if the changes are acceptable, proceed with the upgrade.

For more information, see “Upgrade script commands,” Section 53.10 of the Abaqus Scripting Reference Guide. You can access the plug-in from the Plug-ins menu in any module.
