Metadata Extraction with CAEInfo

CaeInfo.exe is provided as part of VMoveCAE to extract and display metadata from CAE result files in XML format.

This metadata information includes the parts and element sets defined in the CAE simulation file as well as the available results.

The command

CaeInfo [options] <model_file> [results_file]
