Import thermo-optical properties
To share thermo-optical properties between models and users, you can import the properties using an .xml file.
Choose Home tab→Properties group→More list→Manage Thermo-Optical Properties .
In the Import/Export group, click Import Thermo-Optical Properties modeling objects .
In the Resolve Name Conflict group, do one of the following:Select Overwrite Values for Existing Entities to replace the thermo-optical values with the imported ones for the modeling object with the same name.Select Rename Imported Thermo-Optical Properties to copy the object properties and rename the file so it is not overwritten.The modeling object appears in the Selection for Export table.
In the Import from XML File dialog box, choose the file to import and click OK.You can only import one file at a time.
Click Close when you are finished importing the .xml file.
