Select Translator Type From this drop-down menu, select one of the following translation types:
  FIL to MRF Converts Abaqus results, coming from MDL > ABAQUS, into an Altair MRF file, which can be used in HyperView. The resulting MDL/MRF pair in HyperView provides the necessary data to animate the Abaqus run (which was based on MDL).
  FIL to ABF Converts Abaqus results into an Altair ABF file, which can be read into HyperGraph.
  FIL to TAB Translates Abaqus results into a Summary TAB readable format
  After selecting a translation type, click Next to advance to the next page in the dialog.
