When a job is submitted for analysis, the input is created behind the
scenes and read by the batch solver products.
A means of communication between ABAQUS/CAE and other third-party
modeling packages.
Can import partial or complete models into ABAQUS/CAE via the
input file.
Allows easy use of archived models.
Can make modifications as necessary: edit geometry (limited);
redefine loads, contact, output, etc. (same as for native models)
