Abaqus versions compatibility 1

[hwa0725]

Hi all,

In my local PC, I have had Abaqus/2019 installed and used it to construct my model, however, I am running the analysis on a higher version i.e. Abaqus/2023. I know this is ok as Abaqus is backwards compatible also as mentioned here by FEAWay (

https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=481401).

So my question is: Can I open the .odb ran on Abaqus/2023 with Abaqus/2019 installed on my PC to post-process the analysed model?

Many thanks!

Regards,

Heng

No, this would be forward compatibility (older version handling files from newer version) which is not available in Abaqus.
