The results of RF-CONCRETE Surfaces can also be used in other programs.

Clipboard

You can copy cells selected in the result windows to the clipboard with [Ctrl]+[C] and subsequently insert them with [Ctrl]+[V] into a word processing program, for example. The headers of the table columns are not transferred.

Printout report

The data of RF-CONCRETE Surfaces can be printed into the printout report (see chapter 7.1) where they can be exported with the menu item

      • File → Export to RTF.

This function is described in chapter 10.1.11 of the RFEM manual.

Excel

RF-CONCRETE Surfaces allows you to directly export data to MS Excel or into the CSV format. You can access this function by selecting the menu option

      • File → Export Tables.

The following export dialog box opens.

CAD applications

The reinforcement areas determined in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces can also be used in CAD applications. RFEM provides interfaces with the following programs:

  • Glaser (format *.fem)
  • Strakon (format *.cfe)
  • Nemetschek (FEM format for Allplan *.asf)
  • Engineering Structural Format (format *.esf)

You can access the export function with the RFEM menu item

      • File → Export.

The Export dialog box opens where you can select the appropriate interface (see Figure 8.8). This dialog box is described in chapter 12.5.2 of the RFEM manual.
