The timber construction and framing software SEMA is popular. That is why we have provided you with an interface for the transfer of SEMA 3D structures. You can transfer a SEMA model to RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 in the DXF or DSTV(STP) format. And the best thing is: In the latter case, it is possible to transfer not only the standard data, such as the structural geometry, but also the information about cross-sections, materials, supports, and rigid couplings. See for yourself:
Dlubal Webinar: Data Exchange Between SEMA and RFEM 5Did you know? You can export all RFEM/RSTAB tables with the results individually or all at once directly into an Excel table or as a CSV file. There are several options available to you:
- With table headers
- Selected objects only
- Filled rows only
- Only filled tables
- Export data as plain text
This way, the program allows you to control and clearly manage the exported data. You can export the stored formulas directly in the table or as a separate table, as in the case of the used parameters.
Use the interfaces for more efficient work. You can import your structures in the DXF format as lines from Autodesk AutoCAD into RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9.
Furthermore, you can export different objects (for example, cross-sections) from RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 to separate layers in Autodesk AutoCAD.
There are many options available for simple input and modeling. Your model is entered as a 1D, 2D, or 3D model. Member types such as beams, trusses, or tension members make it easier for you to define member properties. In order to model surfaces, RFEM provides you with various types, such as Standard, Without Thickness, Rigid, Membrane, and Load Distribution.
Furthermore, RFEM covers various material models, such as Isotropic | Linear Elastic, Orthotropic | Linear Elastic (Surfaces, Solids), or Isotropic | Timber | Linear Elastic (Members).
