The Abaqus Interface for MSC.ADAMS translates data from one or more Abaqus results (.fil) files and creates an MSC.ADAMS modal neutral (.mnf) file. Depending on the contents of the results files and the translation parameters, the Abaqus Interface for MSC.ADAMS creates a modal neutral file containing the data blocks shown in Table 1–1.
Table 1–1 Modal neutral file contents.
