What is an inp file and how do I open an 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.
