You use Export Simulation to Input File batch utility to export a physics simulation to an input file that can be read by another application, such as Abaqus or Nastran.
From the Utilities section of the action bar,
click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility and
drop it on the process diagram.
Double-click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility.
From the 3DX Utility Editor that appears, select the Execution tab.
From the Select a 3DX Utility menu, select Export simulation to input file.
To specify the physics simulation object to export, do either of the following:
Select Content, and select a physics simulation object in
the workflow or search for a simulation object.
Select Parameter, and select an object parameter that refers to a physics simulation object.
Select the type of file to which the physics simulation will be exported.
You can export a physics simulation to the following file types:
File Type
Extension
Abaqus input file
.inp
SIM database (Multi-file only)
.SMAManifest
Nastran input file
.nas
Enter the name of the input file to create. Do not include the file extension.
A physics simulation can contain multiple analysis cases, where each analysis case contains its own sequence of steps as well as simulation features such as initial conditions, restraints, loads, and output requests. If the physics simulation contains multiple analysis cases, do either of the following:
To create a single input file from a selected analysis case, select Analysis Case and enter the name of the case to export.
To create one input file from each analysis case, unselect Analysis Case.
Configure the Execution Options.
Click Ok to save your changes and to close the 3DX Utility editor.
and
drop it on the process diagram.
