Importing Data into a Data Source

When you use the Import Engineering Data menu item, the data contained in that source is added to the currently selected data source (if edit enabled).

The following types of files are supported for import:

  • Engineering Data libraries exported from Workbench 9.0 to 11.0 SP1

  • Material(s) file following the MatML 3.1 schema

  • Material(s) file generated by AUTODYN

Important:  Exported material data libraries (.xml) are not backwards compatible in previous versions of the application.

  1. Open the Engineering Data Sources pane.

  2. In the Engineering Data Sources pane, select a data source from the Data Source column.

  3. To the right of the data source file, select the Edit Library ( ) check box.

  4. From the menu bar, select File > Import Engineering Data.

  5. Select a file and click Open.

    Note:  Only recognized data is imported into the data source.
