ABAQUS file.inp and file.f ?

[Bigtree]

Hi, we can use FORTRAN to write a subroutine as file.f
How about an input file.inp? What can we use?

I would say... any text editor program and the "ABAQUS Keywords Reference Manual" ????

...you practically write the "input_text_file.inp" using any text editor program (e.g., Notepad). The structure and keyword syntax of the input file content must follow the ABAQUS documentation (ABAQUS User's Manual and ABAQUS Keywords Reference Manual are probably the most helpful).

Then you submit 'input_text_file.inp' to the ABAQUS Solver.

I see this being somehow similar to having the FORTRAN text source file (which can be written using any text editor) submitted to the FORTRAN compiler.

The .inp file is what CAE writes out - CAE is only a front-end for the FE code. I *think* that the .inp file gets written to the same directory that the .cae file is in. You can then use notepad (or similar) to edit the file.

Hi, thanks for your help.
