12.2 Translating an Abaqus substructure to a flexible body

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: Two new translators allow you to use an Abaqus substructure as a flexible body in a dynamic analysis using multibody dynamics solvers.

Description: The abaqus tosimpack translator converts an Abaqus substructure to a flexible body in a format that can be used by the SIMPACK multibody dynamics code. The translator reads Abaqus data from a substructure SIM file and writes data to a SIMPACK flexible body (.fbi) file.

The abaqus toexcite translator converts an Abaqus substructure to a flexible body in a format that can be used by the EXCITE multibody dynamics code. The translator reads Abaqus data from a substructure SIM file and writes data to an EXCITE flexible body interface (.exb) file.
