visualisation from *.fil files

[neris111]

Hello!

Currently I`m modeling a concrete structure behaviour using ABAQUS/Explicit with brittle cracking model and I don't know how to visualise the crack pattern. The output variable CRACK (crack orientations)can be written only in *.fil files. What to do with these files? In ABAQUS documentation there are examples of concrete cracking with crack patterns, but what software they used for this?
Can anyone help me?

Hi, I'm using MSC patran in order to visualise the .fil files.

Hi,

Many well known Pre- Post- softwares enable importing ABAQUS .fil. I currently use UGS FEMAP as my favorite. Although not as powerful as CAE, but very easy to use and well organized menu command.
