Conceptual diagrams can be exported as static images. Image files are saved in bitmap format (*.bmp).
Properties of a conceptual diagram (e.g. diagram metadata, elements, links and their relationships) can be exported as plain text reports and are saved as plain text files (*.txt).
Caution Notes For User
Although Concept allows for the assignment of relationship curves to element it is not a quantitative modelling tool. Any conclusions drawn from using this software are of a conceptual nature. If quantitative results are sought then a numeric model should be used.
