In the Export Simulation dialog box, specify the Output File Units of the model you are exporting.
Specify a Path and an Output File name and Output Path.
For Nastran, Abaqus, ANSYS, and Simcenter Samcef models, use the different Output Options to specify additional options to control the creation of the solver input file.
