Hello,

I need to import a .ffe file into a 3D View, but I cannot find a way. I was trying the following:

FF3D = view.Plots:Add(app.ImportedDataSets[1])

But ImportedDataSets is only the collection. I was trying to mimic the import of patterns in a model:

FF3D = view.Plots:Add(app.Models[1].Configurations[1].FarFields[1])

Is there a way to Import a Dataset into a 3D view using Lua?

I can always import the plot manually.

Thanks

    You can use the following e.g:

    app = pf.GetApplication() importedSet = app:ImportResults("myfarfieldfile.ffe", pf.Enums.ImportFileTypeEnum.FEKOFarField) ffeplot=app.Views[1].Plots:Add(importedSet.ImportedData[1])
