What is a STA file?

Abaqus Status File
STA stands for "status" and Abaqus stores reports in this file format when the user uses the analysis feature of Abaqus. When the user creates a model using Abaqus, the model, more often than not, is not in perfect shape. Therefore, before development, it will undergo various analyses to reveal what part should be further developed.
After running the analyses, these reports of detection and suggestions are stored in a document with the STA file extension.
