Creating a Report from a Report Data File

Using the Report Data File format, .rdat, a report can be saved (exported) from one design, and subsequently imported into a different design (or even imported into the same design). This allows you to take a static snapshot of a set of simulation data and view it at a later stage of the design process, or view the same data set in one or more different designs.

To save a report to a Report Data File:

1. Create the report that you wish to save.
2. Right-click in the report window (or right-click on the desired report icon in the project tree) and select Export to open the Export Report dialog.
3. Select the Report Data files option (.rdat) in the Save as type selection drop down.
4. Navigate to the desired location and either create a file name or select an existing file for the exported report; and then click Save.

To create a report from an existing Report Data File:

1. Right-click on the Results folder in the project tree and select Create Report From File.
2. Browse to select the desired Report Data file (.rdat), and then click Open.
3. The selected report is added to the design and opens in a new report window.
