    4. Customize the default name of the report.
  5. Specify the units for the data you are importing.

    The selected units are converted to the units specified in your Preferences for the current session. For example, if you import a model created in millimeters and the current session uses meters, the import process converts all lengths to meters (dividing by 1000).

  6. Click Import.
    The Import dialog box closes, and the simulation is imported into the database.
