How can I transform a .dat from Marc to a .inp from Abaqus?

I have a Marc model, which I need to open in Abaqus. I am not able to export it directly and inport it in Abaqus, as a large part of the model is not inported.

However, Patran is able to read Marc and Abaqus files... How can I inport Marc model to Patran and the export it so that Abaqus reads it correctly?

Thank you very much in advance!

You can do this as follows-

Import Marc model

-- Set Patran preferences >> Analysis >> Analysis code >> Marc

-- go to Analysis tab >> Read Input File >> Model data >> select Marc file>> Apply

This will import Marc job in patran.

2. Export Abaqus Model.

-- Change the Preferences, Patran preferences >> Analysis >> Analysis code >> Abaqus

-- go to Analysis tab >> Analyze >> Entire Model >> Analysis Deck>> set required steps and translation parameters, output requests and Apply.

This will Export Abaqus job.

I hope this helps.
