The abaqus upgrade utility will convert an
output database file from earlier releases of
Abaqus
to the current release. Output database files from
Abaqus
6.1 or later can be upgraded. The abaqus upgrade
utility will generate a log file
(job-name.log) that contains
error, warning, diagnostic, and informational messages. You should carefully
review the conversion log file to ensure that changes made to the older release
output database file are appropriate. If no conversions are necessary, a
message will be issued to the log file as well as to the screen.
