Saving Files to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

You can save selected Abaqus/CAE files to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. These files are on the platform as a simulation object.

  1. From the Abaqus/CAE File menu, select Save to 3DEXPERIENCE.
  2. From the list of files in the work directory, select the files to save.

    Tip: You can use the right mouse button to access commands such as Select all and Select none.

  3. To request that Abaqus/CAE creates experience content from an output database file (.odb) or SIM database file (.sim), click the gray results icon .

    The icon changes color to indicate that experience content will be created and saved with the simulation object.

    You can create a simulation object from either the output database (default) or the SIM database file but not both.

    If you select the SIM database file, you must use the Abaqus/CAE Job editor to request results output in SIM format. By default, Abaqus/CAE writes results only to the output database file, and the SIM database file contains model data only.

  4. Optional: Select Associate simulation with product, and select the product from the list.
    Traceability is maintained between the simulation object generated by Abaqus/CAE and the product downloaded from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You can see the traceability in the Relations app.
  5. From the Main input list, select the main input file associated with the simulation.

    This option appears only if you have more than one input file associated with the simulation object.

  6. Click OK.
    Abaqus/CAE transfers the selected files from the work directory to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

    If you requested experience content, Abaqus/CAE creates the simulation object and saves it to the platform.
