03 Sep Reducing the size of Abaqus CAE files

While building a Finite element model, it is often convenient to share your CAE files with others. But sometimes the file is simply too big to easily send over email. Luckily Abaqus comes with a convenient feature to greatly reduce the size of your CAE file, while retaining all the relevant data. This feature can be found by opening the ‘File’ dropdown menu on the top of your CAE. In this menu, you can select the option ‘Compress MDB…’, which prompts Abaqus to start automatically reducing the file size. Now the file is significantly smaller and easier to share or store.
