Metadata Extraction with CAEInfoMetadata Extraction with CAEInfo

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

CaeInfo.exe是VMoveCAE部分旨在从XML格式化CAE文件提取和展示元数据

This metadata information includes the parts and element sets d fi d i h CAE i l i fil ll h il bl ldefined in the CAE simulation file as well as the available results.

这个元数据信息包括部件和元素组合，以CAE模拟文件定义也是可用的结果
