Open newer version of .cae, on older version of abaqus

[leojeep]

Hi guys! Like I wrote in the subject...Can I open a newer version of an .cae file (V6.10), on a older version (V6.7)?

I have to send the file by mail, and the other person has the V6.7 in his computer and I already did my model in the newer version...Can you help me?

Thanks!...Leo

I do not think you can do that.
Actually I would bet you are not able to do that. Unless somebodye more expertised says the opossite.

cheers, n3l3

I would agree, I don't believe you can do this in Abaqus. However, you can import the input file into whatever versions of CAE you like. It will extract the nodal coordinates, surface definitions, loads, boundary conditions etc and can then be edited as normal in CAE.

You may lose some of the detail and definitions in CAE, depending how it was modelled, eg area definitions, partitions etc

Hope this helps.
