Importing CADFEKO Model Files (.CFX)

Import an existing CADFEKO model (.cfx file) into a CADFEKO model.

  1. On the Home tab, in the File group, click the  Import icon. From the drop-down list select the  CADFEKO model (*.cfx) icon.
  2. Select the .cfx file you want to import.
  3. Under Import, select the entities to import (for example, geometry, meshes, meshing rules, cable definitions, solution entities and optimisation searches).


    Note: Frequency, infinite planes and mesh settings are not considered during the import process and will not affect the destination model in any way.
  4. [Optional] Merge identical variables and media in the imported model and target model.
    1. To merge identical variables, under Merge options, select the Merge identical variables check box.
    2. To merge identical media, under Merge options, select the Merge identical media check box.
  5. [Optional] If there are naming conflicts between the names of the imported entities and the existing entities in the model, in the Prefix field, enter a prefix that will be pre-pended to all imported entity names.
  6. When the unit of the imported model is not the same as the target model unit, a warning message is given.


    • To continue the import, click Continue.
    • To discontinue the import, click Cancel.
  7. When the configuration settings of the model being imported differ from the target model, a warning message is given.


    • To continue with the model import and merge the configuration settings, click Change settings and import.
      • Select the relevant configurations to create the global frequency, global sources, global loads or global power.
    • To discontinue the import, click Cancel.
    Note: If a .cfx file is imported and it contains an empty configuration (for example, it contains no entities, only frequency), the configuration is removed during the import process.
