To write the input file without immediately performing the analysis, select
from the main menu bar. The
input file job name.inp is
written to the directory from which you started
Abaqus/CAE.
You can also write an input file by selecting the job of your choice and then
clicking Write Input in the Job
Manager.
The input file is written in ASCII format and can be viewed and edited using
a text editor. If you are familiar with
Abaqus
keywords, you can check the input file for errors and check that the keywords,
parameters, and data were generated as expected. You can also modify the
contents of the input file. For example, you can change a material property or
the magnitude of a load.
