Abaqus Options dialog

The Abaqus Options dialog is used to specify values for settings related to the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight interface to Abaqus structural analysis program for Midplane thermoplastics analyses.

To access this dialog and specify settings for the current study, ensure that you have selected an analysis sequence that includes Fill+Pack, click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), if necessary click Next one or more times to navigate to the Fill+Pack Settings page of the Wizard, click Advanced options, click Edit in the Solver parameters group, click Interface (tab), and click Abaqus options.

Select the relevant Abaqus interface file option, depending on the Abaqus license that you have. This will generate an output file(s) that can be read by Abaqus for analysis.

Options include:
None
No Abaqus interface file(s) will be produced.
C-MOLD - Abaqus 6.2
Is for Abaqus / C-MOLD license holders. The Flow solver will produce a *.fem file and *.osp file, which are ASCII files in the old C-MOLD format. You must change the extension .osp to .lsp for the file to be read in Abaqus 6.2.
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight - Abaqus 6.2
Is for Abaqus / Autodesk license holders. The Flow solver will produce a *.mab file, which is an ASCII file of the same format as in MPI 2.0.
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight - Abaqus 6.3
Is for Abaqus / Autodesk license holders using the Abaqus 6.3 (or later) release. The Flow solver will produce an *.osp file. You must export the mesh model in *.pat file format (Click File > Export and choose Patran File (*.pat) in the Save as type list).
