Ken_A,
Thanks for responding.
(Yes, the NX 11 Expressions window is overhauled. The "Import and Export Expressions" is not there anymore, but it still can be found under Menu / Tools.)
Anyway, it I can export something like this:
NAME FORMULA VALUE UNITS TYPE COMMENT
FA_PT_UpperAArm_CG_Loc_x ug_cell_read("D:\Data.xlsx","B2") 0 mm Number
At this point, I do not care much if this file is TXT or XLSX. In either case it works for both Export and Import, but the problem is that the formula is this function ug_cell_read(), which is (I think) the culprit that is taking too long.
Note that the formula has the information of where the actual data resides: Data.xlsx.
My hope was that having a text version of this data file would accelerate the process.
I actually was able to use ug_cell_read() with a tab-separated TXT file as an argument. It worked, but it took almost as long as when I specified an XLSX file.
