Exporting an Approximation

You can export an approximation to a coefficients file, a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU), or a 3DEXPERIENCE approximation object that can be used by a different app. Approximations have many uses, such as substituting for data generated by a SIMULIA physics app that has to run a series of time-consuming, finite element analyses.

You can export an approximation generated by Results Analytics to the following:

Coefficients File
A coefficients file is a text file containing the data points used to build the approximation and the coefficients of the approximation equation. An approximation coefficients file can be imported by both Process Composer and by Isight.
FMU
Results Analytics exports an FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit) file in Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) Model Exchange format. For more information on the FMI interface, the Model Exchange format, and apps that can import this file (including the Dymola Behavior Modeling App) refer to https://fmi-standard.org. You cannot export an approximation created using the Universal Kriging technique to a FMU.
Approximation Object
An approximation object is associated with an analysis case object and stored in the database. An approximation object contains the equations representing the original data set; an approximation object is not simply mapped data or data generated by Results Analytics.
