You can use the Conversion tool to convert an Altair Radioss file to a PAM-CRASH 2G file.
| 1. | After loading the Altair Radioss user profile and importing an Altair Radioss model, run the conversion macro by clicking Tools > Conversion > PAMCRASH. The Conversion tab opens. |
| 2. | In the Destination template field, select the destination solver version. |
| 3. | Click Convert to start the conversion. After conversion, the selected version of the PAM-CRASH 2G user profile is automatically loaded. |
| 4. | Review and export the deck using the PAM-CRASH 2G user profile. |
Some of the keywords in the Altair Radioss deck are converted to the PAM-CRASH 2G deck as per the following table:

The attributes converted in each KEYWORD is explained in the Conversion dialog. Each keyword is associated with a color to distinguish it better.
| • | Green: All the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in PAM-CRASH 2G. |
| • | Orange: Only some of the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in PAM-CRASH 2G. |
| • | Red: None of the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in PAM-CRASH 2G. Basically conversion of this keyword is not supported by the conversion tool. |
