The topics in this section address the following capabilities:
- Opening native Simulation Mechanical files.
- Opening various CAD solid or surface model formats. Some CAD formats can be opened without the original CAD application installed, some require the native application, and some can be opened either way.
- Opening legacy Algor Simulation files
- Working with Simulation Mechanical archives.
- Exporting models to the Autodesk Nastran Editor
- Merging results from the Nastran Editor into Simulation Mechanical.
- Opening third-party Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models.
- Exporting models to third-party FEA applications.
