Choose File → Export → Simulation.
In the Export dialog box, select INPF, Mapping Constraint File, CGNS, SINDA-85, or ESATAN from the File Type list.
Click Browse to navigate to the file location and name, or type the path and file name of the output file in the Output File box.Note: If you type only the file name in the Output File box, the software saves the file in the same folder as the Simulation file.You cannot change the name or the path of the file when you select INPF or Mapping Constraint File from the File Type list.
Click OK.
