Choose File→Import→Simulation. The Import dialog box appears.
Select Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Simcenter 3D Electronic Systems Cooling, or Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal, and click OK. The Import Simulation dialog box appears.
Select the file type you want to import from the File Type list.
Specify the Input File for import.
(Optional) Click Advanced Options to specify file names for the FEM and Simulation files.Note: Importing the model always generates a new FEM and a new Simulation file. If you do not specify a name for those files, the software creates a default name based on the input file name.
