Exporting Material Cards

Granta MI provides a number of exporters that can export material card information for use in CAD, CAE, or PLM applications.

The available material card exporters in MI Viewer will depend on your installation. The exporters themselves are database- and Table-specific, so you will only ever see exporters that are relevant for the data you have selected.

To export material card information
  1. Select the records to export:
    • On a datasheet select Tools > Export Material Cards.
    • Add the records you want to export to the Record list and then click Export on the Reports page.
      Tip: If the Export button is greyed out, it means that there are no exporters available for the currently selected data.
  2. On the Export page, select an exporter from the list of available exporters for different packages and models, then click Next.
  3. If more than one version of the selected exporter is available, the next page will allow you to choose the version you want to use. Click Next to continue.
  4. On the Export Options page, enter any required information or parameter values, then click Next.

    On the Exported Data page, you can see the material card information and copy it directly to the CAD, CAE, or PLM application, if required. You can also edit the data here.

    Note that very large export files (>1MB) cannot be displayed in this view or copied to the clipboard. In this case, you will need to save the output to disk to complete the export.

  5. Click Save To Disk or Copy To Clipboard.
