Overview

The interface program uses the following files:

Logical Unit File Type
08 ABAQUS '.fil' file Unformatted/Unformatted
20 Temporary file 1 Unformatted,Sequential,Scratch,Recl=4096
22 Temporary file 2 Unformatted,Sequential,Scratch,Recl=4096
23 Database Data file Unformatted,Direct,Old/New
24 Database Index file Unformatted,Direct,Old/New
17 Femview Neutral file Formatted,Sequential,New
04 Log file (IOMESS) Formatted,Sequential,Unknown
51 Startup file Formatted,Sequential,Old
52 Command file Formatted,Sequential,Unknown

On most machines these files will be opened and closed by the program, on certain machines these files will need to be opened prior to execution and closed after execution.

The program runs interactively by default, the presence of a file called 'IOSTRT' will switch the program into batch mode. When in batch mode the program does not output text to the screen and the log and com files are still produced.

The log file (IOMESS) contains all information relevant to a single run of the program including any errors. This file is overwritten each time the program is run.

The com file contains a list of commands used in the last execution of the program. The '!' character serves as a comment and this file is suitable for conversion to a startup file. This file is overwritten each time the program is run.
