Isight program did not read .inp file but read .cae file

Question

I want to use Abaqus component in Isight, but it can not read .inp files. When I try to read .cae file, it reads but gives an error about rewriting input file when I run model. The error message is:

I tried to example file which is already in Isight program. It worked very well. However, I opened a new work and tried to read this example's .inp file, it did not read. I searched on web about same problem but no one suggest any solution. Only one said the file is in lock mode. But this is not a clear solution. Could you help me to solve this problem?

The example .inp file can be found in the link:

The example .cae, .odb, .zmf file can be found in the link also:

the example .zmf file which is above the link, is made by me. But the link below I gave, the example from Isight. And it worked very well. But when I tried to read .inp file by myself, it didn't read.

Answer 1

The execution can be failing if

• the .inp file has the *parameter command
• you have "special" characters in the .inp file
• you have empty lines in the .inp
• you have a .lck file in the same directory
• the .inp file has incompatible commands with the Isight

To debug the problem, I recommend testing with a very simple .inp file and see if there are any compatibility issues.
