1Conversion TYPE is set to "GEOMETRY" in order togenerate the full geometry from the Abaqus mesh (i.e. all lines, surfaces and volumes required to make a mesheable geometry will be generated)

2File name is optionally edited (Ex_009_geom in the present case)

3The line *CONVERSION OPTIONS, LINE SPLIT=NO is added. This is required for generation of the full geometry from a HEX Abaqus mesh (this prevents generation of multiple individual lines for each HEX element vertex).

4At the end of the file the line that reads the spatial grid is deleted (note that reading and element renumbering of the of the spatial grid is only required for HEX models where the spatial grid is defined on an element basis)
