INP files store information in two parts:
- Model data - Defines the mesh structure to be analyzed in Abaqus, which includes structure metadata, nodal coordinates, model definition, and materials.
- History data - Defines what happens to the structure (each step of loading or events) to create the data for analysis or visualization.
How to open an INP file
You can open an INP file with the Abaqus suite of applications in Windows or Linux. To open an INP file, select File → Import → Model.
Since the INP file stores plain text, you can also open them with any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (macOS). Additionally, Microsoft Visual Studio Code (multiplatform) provides helpful data-viewing and -editing capabilities.
