a model is already imported.
- Default Export Tool

This dialog box allows you to define some post-process (Algorithm) to

meet the requirements of some of our customers, but you can use them on
your own models. You can contact our support if
you would like you own customizations to be added here.
Fig 2. Setting the MIMB Advanced Options.
- Apply Algorithm
- This drop-down list allows you to select and activate an MIMB algorithm that
will be applied on the imported model before the consistency check is performed.
- Abbreviation File
- Some MIMB algorithms can use a list of definitions (comma separated values file)
to update the imported model.
This field allows you to select this file for the algorithm to use.
The lines of the file should comply to the following format:{Expanded Name},{Abbreviation}
Such an abbreviation dictionary file can be used to expand acronyms used in the imported model.
- Algorithm Description
- The description of the currently selected algorithm.
- Algorithm Scope
