Import process
You can import legacy data in the Multipurpose Elite, Fatigue Analyzer, and Fracture Analyzer applications.
If you import legacy data in Multipurpose Elite, you can review the imported data in View Results. You
cannot create tests or test runs that you can run in the application.
The data is mapped from the legacy format and variables to the current format and variables by the
application. No user intervention is required.
When the import is complete, your test is saved and the test run is initialized. In Explorer, the test run name
appears blue. The next step is to create an analysis run in an analysis application.
