Third-party Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models can be opened using the 
Open command and changing the Files of Type: drop-down box to the proper third-party FEA file type.
Autodesk Simulation models can be exported to any of the third-party FEA formats using the ExportThird-party FEA command in the user interface pull-down menus.
NoteThe current model needs sufficient input to make the model complete. Complete means that the model is ready to be checked (AnalysisAnalysisCheck Model) or analyzed (AnalysisAnalysisRun Simulation). Then, either of these steps needs to be used to create the database files that are translated to the other FEA format. If the model is not checked, the Third-party FEA command will not be available (grayed out).

If the model is not checked, the Third-party FEA command will not be available (grayed out).Autodesk Simulation has the ability to import and export the following types of text-based models:
