The External Model Browser (Beta) tool enables you to view the processed and unprocessed keywords for LS-DYNA or ABAQUS input files that you import into Mechanical using an External Model system from Workbench or the Add Model Import option in Mechanical. From the browser tree, you can select individual keywords and perform actions such as previewing the properties associated with the selected keyword, adding the keyword to the current analysis (LS-DYNA), or adding a Python snippet (ABAQUS).
Important: This documentation assumes that you know how to import the above file types. See the steps to import mesh files from either Workbench or Mechanical in the Attach Geometry/Mesh section of the Mechanical User’s Guide.
