Interface with MS Excel/OpenOffice

In terms of a further optimization or variant analysis, you can also select completely different cross-sections for the design in the add-on module, as they are connected with members in the RFEM/RSTAB model. You can manually overwrite an existing cross-section in column B of Table 1.3 with a desired section. However, in the case of several cross‑sections or long descriptions such as "IU 500/250/16/10.2/200/16/0/0", this can be time‑consuming. With the standard RFEM/RSTAB interface with MS Excel/OpenOffice, you can do this in no time at all.

Please note: When optimizing a cross‑section, the internal forces are not automatically recalculated with the modified cross‑sections. The user decides which sections are to be transferred to the main program for recalculation.

To transfer the cross-section to RFEM/RSTAB, right-click the corresponding cross-section in Window 1.3 - Cross-Sections; see Image 2.

Because of the modified stiffnesses in the system, the internal forces defined by the optimized cross-sections can differ significantly.
