Loading Data into Network Data Explorer

You can launch Network Data Explorer from within several Ansys products. In the Project Manager, open <project> > Analysis > Setupn > Sweepn. Right click on the sweep and click Network Data Explorer in the shortcut menu. The current solution data is automatically loaded and ready for viewing. Otherwise, you must load a data file into Network Data Explorer.

Note: When solution data that is loaded into NDE is modified and resimulated in another Ansys product, the NDE data automatically updates.

You can import the following file types:

Touchstone Format (*.s*p)
Touchstone 2 Format (*.ts, *.sp)
Citifile (*.cit)
Neutral Format (*.nmf)
State Space File (*.sss)
Note:
When this type of file is loaded, Network Data Explorer regenerates s-parameter data based on the file.
You can compare the regenerated s-parameters to the original data.

To import a file into Network Data Explorer, either drag and drop an analysis from the Project Manager into Network Data Explorer or

On the NDE ribbon, click Open. An Open window opens.
Navigate to and select a file.
Click Open. The file appears in the Files tree.

The file browser allows you to open multiple files at a time. However, the displayed data always corresponds to the data set indicated in the Network Data Selection pane. Click the file you want in that pane to switch between data sets.
