  2. Go to the Details pane and in the input field, such as the Magnitude field, click the flyout field and choose Import. Note that the Import feature can present different dependencies, such as time and temperature.

    Choose the desired load history if it is listed, then click OK. If it is not listed, click the Add button, choose a load history or Browse to one that is stored, then click OK in both dialog boxes.

  2. Go to the Details pane and in the input field, such as the Magnitude field, click the flyout field, choose Export, and save the file to a specific location.
