CST2013: Import Sub-Project

Modeling: ExchangeImport/ExportSub-Project

This dialog box offers the import of an external project.

With this feature you can import 3D data from an other MWS, EMS or PS project  and also 2D data from PCBS and design studio projects.

The SAT file of the other project will be imported. Also the materials with its properties. If a solid, curve item, solid wire, thin wire or a material with the same name already exists in the project, the imported objects will be renamed.

Alternatively: The Sub-Project import can be executed by drag and drop of the cst file while holding the shift-key.

During sub-project import you have the possibility to align your model in the current project. The positioning algorithm also transforms your model such that the middle points of the picked faces are at the same position.

Note: The external project must have a SAT file for reading the geometrical data. And a MIF file (Model Information File) must exist for reading the material properties. If there is no MIF file, the imported materials properties will have default values.

Open

A CST File must be selected for this import. Then the SAT file will be copied to the project folder.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
