What's the content of af CAE file without opening it?

What's the content of af CAE file without opening it?

What's the content of af CAE file without opening it?

(OP)
Is it possible to find out the contents of a CAE file without opening it.
Perhaps you have noticed - when you open a CAE file and close it again, without doing anything, the date gets updated.
In almost all other programs the documents only get a new date if it actually gets saved not just read.
I would like to check which jobs (INP and result files) are associated with which CAE file without modifying the date - is it possible to just read one?

RE: What's the content of af CAE file without opening it?

(OP)
The datE gets updated - try it:
look through your file system, find an old .cae file, note the file date and time;
open it with Abaqus CAE, don't do anything else before closing it again, note the file date and time - it will have changed!
Annoying in my opinion - is there any way to get round it?

Regards,

Robert
