Does anyone know how to keep a record of what you have done in a CAE session?

Submitted by Echeban on
In Abaqus/CAE, I get .cae file, but I want to teach someone else what I have done, step by step.
ANSYS keeps a log file that mimics exactly what you do in the ANSYS GUI, which is similar to CAE. 
How can I get CAE to write a log file with the steps that I did in the CAE session?

If you go to Abaqus "Temp" folder, you'll find 3 files

1. filename.rpy - This is replay file written in python script. if you run this file through 'file' ->> "run script" the procedure you have followed to generate CAE model, that would be repeated including chnages, model entity deletion etc.

 2. filename.rec -This is recovery file. This file contains the shortest way to generate your model written in python script. I reccomond you to run this script.

 3.  filename.jnl - This is journal file. this contains python script of the model ehich you have saved.

Yes, but I want to keep a record of the mouse clicks that I do in CAE, not the python script that is so hard to read. I discovered Abaqus PDE that can be called from inside CAE. It can play .guiLog files but... does anyone know how to get CAE to record a .guiLog file that can be played in Abaqus/PDE ?
