The SDNF format (*.sdnf/*.dat) ( Steel Detailing Neutral File) is used to exchange model data for the detail planning of steel structures.
The following model data can be transferred:
- Materials and cross-sections
- Uniform members with member eccentricities
- Surfaces with openings
Insert Point
The insert point corresponds to the model coordinates in RFEM. You can manually change the insert point along the X, Y, and Z axes.
Axis Rotation
You can also rotate the model about the global axes. A positive angle rotates the model clockwise.
The sequence of the axis rotations can be defined separately.
Coordinate System Transformation
In the corresponding drop-down menu, you can swap the axes or change the direction of an axis.
Options
Export linear members
Uniform members of the structure can be exported.
Export surfaces
The surfaces of the model are exported.
Export openings
Optionally, you can export the existing openings.
