Abaqus parametrized input files question?

Abaqus parametrized input files question?

Abaqus parametrized input files question?

(OP)
Hello,

I am struggling with understanding how to import parametrized input files. Below you can see an answer from a previous discussion, but I do not understand when “amubashar” says to “replace the parameters with their values.” What are the parameters, and what are their values? I believe the parameters are started with a * such as *NODEPRINT, but I am not certain. Please can someone describe to me what to do? Also, I am acquiring these input files from Abaqus's example input files.

Thank you all very much!

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

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.
