Open SES File

SES files, up to now, have two different applications, namely:

MSC Patran

In this first case, an SES file contains a session created by MSC Patran, a pre- and post-processing program for finite element analysis (FEA).

Finite element analysis (FEA) consists of modeling products and systems in a virtual environment, with the aim of finding and solving possible structural or performance problems (or existing problems).

FEA is the practical application of the finite element method (FEM), which is used by engineers and scientists to mathematically model and numerically solve complex structural, fluid, and multiphysics problems.

FEA software can be used in a wide range of industries but is typically used in the aeronautical, biomechanical, and automotive industries.

A finite element (FE) model consists of a system of points, called "nodes", that draw the shape of the design. Connected to these nodes are the finite elements themselves, which make up the finite element mesh and contain the structural and material properties of the model that define how it will respond to certain conditions.

The SES file contains a list of directives, such as PCL statements or NOODL commands, that can be executed by Patran.

SES files are automatically opened when Patran is started and closed when Patran is exited.

The SES file can serve a variety of purposes:

Recreate a model from scratch.

Act as a transaction log for review and modification.

Work like a macro, repeatedly running a script.

It is important to highlight that for each session, a two-digit number is added to the end of the SES extension, that is, the extension already becomes this way:

file.ses.03.

Adobe Audition

In this case, an SES file contains an audio project created by Adobe Audition, a sound production application.

Adobe Audition is one of the most recognized and famous software for digital music recording and editing.

Includes multitrack, waveform, and spectral display capabilities for creating, mixing, editing, and restoring audio content.

Currently it is also used when refining the audio of movies, videos and video games.

In summary, it is a sound studio that allows the elaboration of digital audio, using multitrack mixing.

The SES file stores an audio production session, which can include multiple tracks and mix settings for each track, along with references to audio files.

SES files do not store actual audio data, which means they are not considered audio or media files.

SES files were originally used by Cool Edit Pro from Syntrillium Software, the predecessor of Adobe Audition.

The SES file type is the main file type associated with Audition and is an integral component of sound recording, mixing, editing, and mastering in the application.

The SES file is created when a session is saved, allowing the user to close the session and reopen it to continue working.

Adobe stopped supporting SES files in Adobe Audition, starting with version CS5.5.

However, you can still convert SES files to the new XML-based format, SESX using Ses2Sesx.
