EXPORT MBF

CAEPIPE can export model data from inside the Layout window to a text file with the extension .mbf (model batch file), which may be edited using a text editor. The edited text file may then be read back into CAEPIPE by using the Import feature. But note that the existing .mod file will be overwritten. So, you must rename the edited text file before importing it back into CAEPIPE.

To export a model, select the menu command File > Export from the Layout window.

The Export Model dialog is shown. Selecting the “Save as type” option as “Model batch file (*.mbf)” will export the stress model in CAEPIPE latest version. Once done, click on Export button to write to an .mbf file.

Select the “Save as type” as “Model batch file 6.xx (*.mbf)” to export the stress model in 6.xx format. This will allow the user to have the backward compatibility with CAEPIPE Versions 6.81 through 10.00.
