Import and export session files

Note:

You can import Simcenter 3D Results Viewer session files (.rsfx) to access their layout states and data sources. You can also export layout states as a session file. For more information about importing and exporting layout states as a session file, see Importing and exporting session files.

Import a session file

When you import a session file, its layouts and data sources replace the currently active work layout.

1. In the Simulation Navigator or Post Processing Navigator, right-click one or more layouts and choose Import.

2. Type a path and session file name to open, or click Browse to navigate to and select a session file.If the session contains data sources, the Apply Session from File dialog box lists them in the Data Sources group. In the Status column, Unresolved appears next to a data source if the path points to a missing or incompatible file. For example, a data reference may be unresolved if a data source was moved or renamed. In the Loading State column, one of the following appears. Loaded — A data source with the same name, same path, and same options is already loaded. The software keeps the data source already loaded and the layout states use the data source. The software does not load the data source again to preserve the preloaded cached data, which speeds up the display of post-processing scenarios. Not loaded — No data source with the same name is already loaded.Conflict — A data source with the same name but with a different path and options is already loaded.

3. If required, resolve the reference to the data source:In the Data Sources group, select the data source to resolve. The path to the data source appears in the first box of the Data Sources File group.In the last box of the Data Source File group, update the path and name for the data source, or click Browse to navigate to and select the data source.

4. If you selected a different data source file, select how you want to resolve the conflict. Keep Already Loaded — Keep the data source already loaded and do not load the file.Load From File — Replace the existing data source with the file.Keep Both — Keep both data sources. The software keeps the data source already loaded and renames and loads the new one from the file. The imported layout states use the newly loaded data source.

5. Click OK.The viewports of the active layout appear in the graphics window.The Simulation Navigator lists the imported layout states. The Post Processing Navigator lists the imported layout states and their viewports The Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator lists the session file's data sources. If the references using the missing data source are unresolved, an Information window appears explaining why. The viewport associated with the unresolved data source is blank.

Export layout states as a session file

1. In the Simulation Navigator or Post Processing Navigator, right-click one or more layouts and choose Export.

2. In the Export Layout State dialog box, do the following:Click Browse . Set Files of type to Result Session Files (.rsfx). Note: If you selected to export more than one layout state, Result Session Files (.rsfx) is already selected.Navigate to the location and type a name for the file. In both dialog boxes, click OK.
