## 7.5. Automatic Extraction of Images on Upload

Images are automatically extracted from certain types of simulation files when those files are uploaded to an EKM repository. Images may be interactive or static depending on the type of file from which they were extracted.

Interactive 3D images are extracted from the following file types:

- Fluent .cas

- CFX .def and .res

- Mechanical APDL .db, .cdb, .rst, .rstp, .rmg, .rfl and .rth

Static 2D images are extracted from these file types:

- Ansoft .adsn

- HFSS .hfss

- Maxwell .mxwl

- Simplorer .asmp

Images will appear in the file's Simulation Details Report, and on the Image tab when the file is opened. For information on viewing images, see Viewing Simulation Models and Images.

Note:

- For Simplorer, Maxwell, HFSS and Ansoft Designer files, the image that is shown cannot be enlarged in the display or when the report is downloaded.

- Images are not extracted from AEDT projects by default. However, an administrator can configure EKM to do so. Refer to Extracting Images from ANSYS Electronics Desktop (AEDT) Projects.

If the file type you are uploading is a custom object type or an extension to a built-in type that has a custom image extractor application defined for it, then the image will be extracted using the custom extractor program. See Defining Type Attributes for a Custom Type in the Administration Guide to learn more about specifying an image extractor for a custom data type.
