The Amira filter imports and exports Amira Mesh .AM, .COL files.
File Description
Amira Mesh files can contain uniform lattices, rectilinear lattices, curvilinear lattices, point data, or geometric figures.
File Name Extensions

Import Method
Choose the File | Import command.
Export Method
Select a module and choose the File | Save Data command.
Export Options
When a file contains blanked values, the Export Blanking Options dialog appears.
Import Restrictions/Limitations
Amira data sets that contain geometric figures are imported as point sets, e.g., "HxLineSet" and "Tetrahedra."
Export Restrictions/Limitations
The current implementation does not support exporting of geometric data.
