[Insight-users] segmentation result to Abaqus

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Cagatay,

Could you please post to the mailing list the
list of file formats that you can read with the
Student version of Abaqus ?

Once we have that list, we could suggest you
mechanisms for converting a segmentation to
some of those file formats.


     Thanks


          Luis
