Importing EEXML

You can import data from various tools to create corresponding objects. All the objects that you can create with Electrical & Electronics Architecture can also be imported through a set of EEXML files. These files must conform an XML schema named XSD.

The import process is the following:

  • Creation of .eexml files by the model transformation of the external tool data
  • Import of these files to Electrical & Electronics Architecture
