How to mail simulation file in abaqus

In Abaqus, you can mail a simulation file to others by exporting it in a format that can be easily shared and imported by others. Here are the steps:

Exporting the simulation file:

1. Open your Abaqus simulation file (.inp or.cae) in the Abaqus/CAE software.
2. Go to File > Export > Simulation.
3. In the Export Simulation dialog box, select the format you want to export the simulation file in. Common formats include:
   • Abaqus Input File (.inp)
   • Abaqus CAE File (.cae)
   • Neutral File Format (.neu)
   • STEP (.step)
   • IGES (.iges)
4. Choose a location to save the exported file and enter a file name.
5. Click Export to export the simulation file.

Sending the simulation file:

1. Attach the exported simulation file to an email or upload it to a file-sharing platform (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive).
2. Include any necessary information, such as:
   • A brief description of the simulation and its purpose.
   • Any relevant settings or parameters used in the simulation.
   • Any specific instructions for running the simulation.

Importing the simulation file:

1. The recipient should open Abaqus/CAE and go to File > Import > Simulation.
2. In the Import Simulation dialog box, select the format of the simulation file (e.g., Abaqus Input File (.inp)).
3. Choose the location where the simulation file was saved and select the file.
4. Click Import to import the simulation file into Abaqus/CAE.

Tips:

• When exporting a simulation file, you can also include the results (e.g., output database, visualization) by selecting the Include results option in the Export Simulation dialog box.
• If you need to share a large simulation file, consider compressing it using a tool like WinZip or 7-Zip before sending it.
• Make sure to check the compatibility of the simulation file format with the recipient's Abaqus version and software configuration.

By following these steps, you can easily share your Abaqus simulation files with others and collaborate on simulation projects.
