- In the Dlubal cross-section library, find the cross-section table that is compatible with the cross-section table that you want to import.
Here, the parameterizable cross-section types (thin-walled, massive, and timber) specify the necessary parameters in the correct order for the import directly in your input dialog boxes, using the input boxes from top to bottom.
For the rolled cross-section types, you can find the required parameters in the correct order using the "Parametric Input" function.
- Create a CSV table for the cross-section table to be imported, which describes a unique cross-section using the parameters "Name" + shape parameters in each line, based on the previously defined parameter list and order.
The shape parameters must be specified in mm.
For reasons of data representation, the individual cross-section names in the CSV file should start with the same text fragment as the CSV file name itself. This ensures that the new cross-section table in RFEM or RSTAB has the name of the CSV file. - Import the CSV file with the used cross-section table into the user-defined cross-section library.
- Use the cross-sections of the newly imported cross-section table in your models.
Question
How can I import a parameterized cross-section table into the cross-section library?
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).
With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.
The direct interface with Revit allows you to update the Revit model according to the changes you have made in RFEM or RSTAB. Depending on the modification, the Revit objects may have to be regenerated (deleting the object and subsequent regeneration). The regeneration is performed on the basis of the RFEM/RSTAB model.
If you want to avoid this regeneration, activate the check box 'Update only materials, thicknesses, and sections'. In this case, only the properties of the objects will be adjusted. Changes different from those in material, surface thickness, and section are, however, not considered in this case.
The reinforcement proposal from RF-/CONCRETE Members can be exported to Revit. The rectangular and circular cross-sections are currently supported.
The reinforcement bars can be modified retroactively in Revit.
