How do I move my Exported simulations to a different computer or iPad?

Moving Exported Sims to another Computer:

1. Locate Exported Sims: Find the exported simulation files (.dcs and .lbr) with the same name but different extensions. For example, 123MainSt.dcs and 123MainSt.lbr.

2. Copy Files: Copy both .dcs and .lbr files and move them to the other computer's hard drive, ideally under the Documents folder.

3. Folder Organization: Consider creating a dedicated folder structure. For instance, within Documents/FireStudio6/, create a subfolder named BlueCard.

4. Paste Files: Paste the paired .dcs and .lbr files into the BlueCard folder you just created.

5. Launch Fire Studio: Open Fire Studio on the new computer. Choose "Open" or "Load," depending on your version. Select the .dcs file (the .lbr files will be grayed out) and click Open.

6. Access Simulation: Once the simulation is open, press 'P' to enter Present mode. Use arrow keys to navigate between slides.

7. Returning to Interface: Press 'A' for Author mode to revert to the interface view.
