Importing material data file form WUFI 4.1 Pro to 5.1 Pro

Post by Cathal »

Hi,

I am currently using 1D WUFI 5.1 Pro and I was wondering if someone could tell me if it is possible to import a 1D WUFI 4.1 Pro material file into the material database of 5.1 Pro.

I received the file (.W4P file) by email, downloaded it to my desktop, then tried to locate it by selecting import in the material data box. However, when the window opens to locate the file, WUFI 5.1 doesn't recognise the file on the desktop.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as the calculations can't be ran until I have all the information from this file. Thanks.

A *.W4P file is a project file, so please open that file using the Project | Open dialog, not the import function in the material data dialog.
