Dynamic Simulation input graph editing

hello ,

I was wondering if it was possible to edit externally the imposed motion graph curve saved from the input grapher.

 

I've tried excel and notepad and they don't work .

 

i've attached one curve saved from the graph. In zip because the file format is not allowed?

Right Click on time steps Pane (not on Grapher Window)

Thanks for the answer. However i meant the exact contrary.

Import values of positions from an external file and input them into simulation.

 

I saw that the input file could be in .cgd but where can i find a software capable of editing such file?

 

 

See attached image. (Can't upload inline)

Yes , i saw that for splines. It will serve my purpose for a small set of data.

 

I'm looking forward to an answer concerning the cgd format however. I'll use your alternate solution in the mean time.

 

 

Thanks for the help.
