The 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports importing some Nastran data cards that do not directly correspond to Abaqus keywords.

Features Supported for Import from Abaqus

When you import a SUBCASE data card, the SUBCASE card preserves the subcase ID, title, subtitle, and label by storing this information as a feature using the following string format: subcaseID:title:subtitle:label. If an element is absent, the spot for that information in the string is left vacant. If the TITLE and SUBTITLE cards are written before the SUBCASE card, the elements transfer into the name of the Analysis Case string. Cards written below the SUBCASE card are transferred into the name of the load case or step feature. When you export these features, the Nastran exporter preserves the sequence of load cases from the order of subcases. The table below demonstrates this behavior using two context examples.
