|---|---|
| File Type | Specifies the type of file to import.I-DEAS UniversalImports an I-deas .unv file.TMG/ESC Scratch FileImports a scratch file created by NX I-deas Electronic Systems Cooling (ESC), NX I-deas TMG Thermal Analysis, or Femap TMG Thermal/Flow.TMG INPFImports a solver input file created by the thermal solver of NX I-deas TMG Thermal Analysis, Femap TMG Thermal and Flow, Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Simcenter 3D Electronic Systems Cooling, or Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal.Solver Input XML FileImports a solver XML file that lets you create solutions from an existing model.Solution Error/Warning GroupsImports a groups.unv file from a solution that was previously solved. The software displays the groups in the Simulation Navigator under the Groups node. CGNSAvailable only in the Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow and Simcenter 3D Electronic Systems Cooling environments.Imports a .cgns file that contains CFD data.PLOT3DAvailable only in the Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow and Simcenter 3D Electronic Systems Cooling environments.Imports a file that has a generic 3D representation format exported by a CFD or FEM program. Radiation ModelAvailable only in the Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal environment.Imports a radiation model. |
| Input File | Not available when File Type is set to Radiation Model.Specifies the file to import. |
| Radiation Model Type | Available when File Type is set to Radiation Model.Specifies the type of radiation model to import.TSSSpecifies that the primitives you import are readable by TSS. This option supports orthotropic conductivity.ESARADSpecifies that the primitives you import are readable by ESARAD.ThermicaSpecifies that the primitives you import are readable by Thermica.Step-TasSpecifies that the primitives you import are readable by Step-Tas. |
| Geometry FileMaterial FileOptical File | Available when Radiation Model Type is set to TSS.Specifies the names of the output files for the geometry, material, and optical data. |
| Import single-element primitives as elements | Available when File Type is set to Radiation Model.Imports the primitives that contain only one element as elements instead of primitives. |
| Derive mesh collectors from SYSBAS NAME parameter | Available when Radiation Model Type is set to Thermica.Names the mesh collectors based on the NAME parameter in the SYSBAS file. |
Teamcenter Integration mode
The following options appear when you run your software in Teamcenter Integration mode using the Teamcenter for Simulation data model.
| Input File | |
|---|---|
| Source | Specifies whether the input file is stored in Teamcenter or stored locally. |
| File Name | Specifies the file to import. |
