Parametrized input files

Parametrized input files

Parametrized input files

(OP)
Hello.

I am trying to open parametrized input files. I do this by importing them as models. However when i do this, a warning message always comes up:

WARNING: The input file contains one or more data items which have been parameterized. Parameterized input files can not yet be imported into Abaqus/CAE. This occurred while scanning input file for parameterized data. The input file will not be imported.

How can I overcome this problem, and open parametrized input files?!
Thank You

RE: Parametrized input files

If you run abaqus datacheck, a .pes file will be created that has all the parameters converted to numerical results. Can you import that into CAE?

Hello mrgoldthorpe, and thanks for your help.

The thing is i cannot actually import the model. So i cannot do a datacheck, as there is no model defined.

Or am i doing somthing wrong. Sorry if you mean something else. I am still a fairly new user to Abaqus.

RE: Parametrized input files

Can't you run datacheck outside CAE:

abaqus datacheck j=yourmodel

then run open the resulting odb file in CAE

RE: Parametrized input files

Hi,

To import a parametrised .inp file in CAE, first open it in any text editor and then replace the parameters with their values. CAE should be able to open the new file.
