Many popular software applications, such as word processors, allow you to import files containing graphic images generated by ABAQUS/CAE; and most of these applications allow you to preview the imported image. In addition, if you are using a Windows system, you can use [Ctrl]+C to copy the image in the current viewport to the system clipboard and [Ctrl]+V to paste it into another application. Windows stores the image in the clipboard in a bitmap (.bmp) format at the resolution of the screen. Although the image quality will be satisfactory when viewed online, it may be unacceptable when printed. If you expect to print an image, you should save it in PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript format.
