.inp File Extension

Developer: Dassault Systemes

File type: Abaqus Input File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .inp. Files with the file extension .inp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .inp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .inp file?

INP files are categorized as data files since they are the input files that are used by the Abaqus engineering simulation and analysis software. These files are called Abaqus Input Files and they are mostly used to save job input data. This allows the production of output visualizations as well as other types of information. All the information that are entered and used by the application is saved as INK files. The main application used to open INK files, such as the Dassault Systemes Abaqus, is a program offering reliable solutions for a variety of problems related to output and sophisticated engineering that could affect a wide variety of industrial applications. It allows users to carry out linear and nonlinear engineering simulations in a reliable, accurate and efficient manner. This is a popular application taken advantage of by a lot of companies especially when it comes to consolidating their tools and processes, reducing their inefficiencies as well as their costs and gaining a more competitive advantage.

how to open a .inp file?

Launch a .inp file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .inp file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .inp files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .inp file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .inp file will open the correct application.

Dassault Systemes SolidWorks

Dessault Systemes Solid is a Computer Aided Design Software which is used by almost 2 million different users and engineers all over the world. Solid works was first released in the mid 90's through 2012. Solid works is composed of Solid work simulation which tells the engineer on how the object would work in the realistic way,., Motion which ensures the function of the object, sustainability which measures the realistic impact of the object in real situation scenario, and the premium which is responsible for the physics stimulation. This Software runs in windows and Mac platform such as window Xp, Vista and Window 7, with the RAM of 2 GB, 5GB of Hard Drive space. Intel or AMD with SSE2 Support (64-bit operating system would be recommended) the buyer may install it through Internet or through DVD Drive. Windows Xp Home edition are not supported by this product . And on Apple, Mac 10.4 to 10.8.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .inp files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .inp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
