## Chapter 20: Displaying 3D Simulation Images Using VCollab

If a simulation file type has been configured to extract CAX files, the extracted 3D image will be displayed in the VCollab viewer when you open the simulation file in EKM (provided that you have the VCollab viewer installed on your system).

This chapter shows you how to interact with the 3D image using the tools provided in VCollab. Topics include:

- Introduction to VCollab
- Interacting with 3D Images in the VCollab Viewer

Note: By default, 3D images are extracted from several Fluent, CFX and MAPDL file types in glTF format and displayed in a built-in, interactive 3D viewer on the Image tab. (See Interacting with 3D Images for more information.) If instead you want to extract CAX files from a CAE file type that VCollab supports, you must configure this behavior for the CAE file type. For more information see Installing VCollab and Configuring EKM for 3D Visualization in the Administration Guide.

See http://www.vcollab.com for more information on VCollab products and VMoveCAE supported file formats.
