Overview
Davinci supports several export paths from the Editor. Use exports to archive project state, share project data, integrate with external tools, or publish model content for review. Exports are available from Project Settings and from supported object or project menus.Export Formats
| Format | Use for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.DAF | Davinci archive and transfer | Preserves model objects and uploaded reference files. Best for round-tripping between Davinci environments. |
JSON | Raw project/model data | Exports model data without uploaded reference files. Useful for inspection and tooling. |
SysML v2 | Systems engineering interchange | Exports a standards-oriented .sysml representation with export-only transformations. |
SysML v2 JSON | Structured SysML-oriented analysis | Exports structured JSON for workflows that need machine-readable SysML-style data. |
| Document/table/presentation exports | Artifact sharing | Available from supported artifact views. |
SysML Exports
SysML exports are not a raw dump of the Davinci model. Davinci applies export-only transformations to make the output more valid, readable, and useful in downstream tools. See SysML v2 Export for detailed mapping behavior, supported object types, limitations, validation behavior, and JSON export details.Choosing A Format
- Use
.DAFwhen you want to preserve a project for another Davinci environment. - Use JSON when you need model data for custom tooling.
- Use SysML v2 when you need standards-oriented system-model interchange.
- Use artifact exports when sharing human-readable documents, tables, or presentations.
