Data Exchange with cadwork

Is it possible to exchange models between cadwork and RFEM/RSTAB bidirectionally?


Answer:
Between cadwork and RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8, you can exchange models in four ways or by using three file types.

  1. Exchange via COM interface: In this case, a plugin is created in cadwork and used for a direct export from RSTAB 8 (see Image 01).
  2. Exchange via *.stp format as DSTV format: The exchange in both directions (bidirectional) is possible in this case. Supports can also be exchanged in both directions.
  3. Import of surfaces from cadwork into RFEM.
  4. Import of lines from cadwork into RFEM& 5 or RSTAB 8.
This webinar shows you these exchange options.

The Export → Modules → Structural System function also allows you to use cadwork to create entire structural systems that are exported to RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8. This functionality is constantly being extended in the program.
