Importing a model from MPA 7.3 or earlier
MPA version 7.3 and earlier uses a different file format than later versions.
To open a model used in MPA version 7.3 or earlier, it must be imported into a project.
This procedure still retains the model geometry, runners and cooling lines, and the results generated in the earlier version.
Note: Changing the analysis settings of a study invalidates the existing results. Some analysis sequence combinations supported in *.ADV format are no longer supported in Autodesk Moldflow Adviser; therefore, some results may not be imported.
- Open an existing project or create a new project.
- Click
(Home tab > Import panel > Import), or right-click in the Project View pane and select
Import.
- Click
Browse to locate your file.
- Select Legacy MPA files (*.adv, mpa, mda) from the Files of type drop-down list.
- Navigate to the folder where the legacy MPA model is located, and select it.
- Click Open.
- Click Next on each page, and then click Finish on the final page.
- Click OK.
The model appears in the Project View pane.
