hi, anyone got any idea, could I open *.cae file by using older ABAQUS, meaning to say I want to open V6.7 *.cae file by using ABAQUS 6.7. I did try do to this, but it doesn't work. please advise.

sorry, I meant open v6.7 *.cae file by using ABAQUS 6.5. thanks.

RE: open *.cae file using newer older ABAQUS

I can not think of a single program that would allow forward compatibility.  I think your best bet is to write out an *.inp and import it to 6.5.  You will end up with an orphan mesh and any new features to 6.7 will be lost.  Hope this helps.
