Exporting a Design to SiSoft Quantum Format from Altium Designer
Supporting your need to work with design files in other formats and with other tools, Altium Designer provides an exporter to export your PCB layouts to the SiSoft™ Quantum-SI™ CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format that enables fast and accurate signal integrity analysis that supports complex layer stacks, split planes, as well as via and pad stacks.
Installing the SiSoft Exporter
The SiSoft Exporter can be installed alongside all other importers and exporters as part of initial installation of Altium Designer. Ensure that the SiSoft option - part of the Importers\Exporters functionality set - is enabled on the Select Design Functionality page of the Altium Designer Installer.
The SiSoft Exporter is selected for installation as part of the Importers\Exporters area of functionality.

Accessing and Running the SiSoft Exporter
To access this feature, choose the File » Export » SiSoft command from the PCB Editor's main menus. In the Export File dialog that opens, specify where the exported set of CSV files is to be stored. By default, this will be the same folder as the parent project. While the File name field is suggestive of a single file being generated with a given name, this field is used to determine the prefix used for the generated files.
With name and location specified as required, click Save. Once the export has completed, an Information dialog will appear to confirm; click OK in this dialog.
