How can I use a template when exporting data from Rhino Grasshopper to RFEM 6? How can I create a new model with add-ons enabled?

Answer

When creating a Rhino Grasshopper algorithm, it is useful to create models which are ready to be calculated or designed. For example, when defining structures with membranes or cables, a freshly created model without add-ons cannot be successfully calculated.

In order to create a new model with add-ons enabled, you need to consider the "Use template" option in the RFEM 6 Export Component in Grasshopper. To enable it, you need to give it information about an absolute path to a RFEM 6 template file.

After connecting this data, the new model will be created with the use of this template and, for example, this allows you to automatically enable the Form-Finding add-on in the model.

WebService & API for Analysis of Construction Stages

When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated but time-consuming. Input automation can save valuable time. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data is entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.
