One Click Export

Data export to various CAx software

The One Click Export functionality allows you to select specific material data for a simulation and generate a file that is directly compatible with your simulation software.

Initiating Export

The Exporter for materials is accessed via Material Pages of Total Materia Viewer, by clicking the button "Export to CAx" positioned in the upper right corner of material page. Clicking this button opens a pop-up window in which users can select the desired export format. A list of available export formats is provided below. Depending on user requirements, the export formats can be expanded and adjusted.
