abaqus file conversion 1

[alperturan]

Hi guys,

I am trying to open a 6.4.1 version cae and jnl file using 6.6.1 version. However, it doesnt want to work for some reason. Then I have tried "abaqus cae recover=file name.jnl" command to get it work then model opened but does not work.

helps will be appreciated.

cheers,

What do you mean by "model does not work"?

You should check the release modifications, i.e. the changes from v6.4 to v6.5 and from v6.5 to v6.6.

They are usually presented in "ABAQUS Release Notes".

The model gives a big number of errors. Also I found the *Conflict in the inp file when I created one.

Can you open the CAE file without the .jnl file present? Might be worth a try...

What is *Conflict? You may need to describe the errors you get more fully.

When I try to open cae file alone, a warning pops up and says the file needs to be converted to 6.6.1 and subsequently asks if I want to convert. When I click on yes it says permission denied.

then I have tried to use "abaqus cae recover=filename.jnl" command and run faces numerous errors(KeyError) such as KeyError=Job-1
KeyError=BC-1

I accepted them all and model opened with these errors. When I submit the job I have got following errors.

Okay, at least that's something to work with.

Looks like there were some unsupported keywords added into the previous CAE file via the keyword editor. These are then conflicting with something added later on during the conversion process or existing in the CAE file.

How to fix it? That's a tough one. You may have to try and look through the .inp file and find the conflicting keywords, then look through the CAE file to find out where the conflict actually is. If your model is fairly simple, the time may be better spent rebuilding the model in CAE.

Might be worth calling the ABAQUS helpdesk, they may well have seen these sorts of errors and have ways of resolving them?

Needless to say, it looks as if you will have to do some further detective work before you have a workable model.

Thx,

I will try to debug it. As you said it will probably be easier to rebuilt the entire model.

I opened *.cae file (of v6.5) by using ABAQUS v6.7, as you said ABAQUS will ask if I want to convert the file to v6.7, and it seems working well when I click on the 'yes' button.
