RFEM Interface to Nemetschek Allplan (*.asf)
With the file format ASF from Nemetschek, RFEM supports a popular CAD program. You have different export options to exchange data.
-
Import in RFEM
You can import one or more surfaces to RFEM by using IFC files. Structural data like nodes, lines or material are exported.
For example, floor plans can be exported as DXF and displayed as background layer in RFEM.
-
Export to Allplan
A reinforcement determined in RF-CONCRETE can be exported with an ASF file to Allplan. Allplan displays the reinforcement contours and FEA reinforcement color images.
If the surface contains reinforcement, the FEA reinforcement color images will be adjusted, i.e. the reinforcement values of the present reinforcement are substracted from the values of the required reinforcement.

Allplan2Dlubal Plugin
With the Allplan2Dlubal plugin of the company Allbau Software GmbH, you can generate a plate member model automatically from the Allplan model to use it in the software from Dlubal.
Non-supporting elements are ignored (however, they can be considered as loads) and supporting elements are imported to RFEM as members and plates.

Interoperability of Dlubal Software with Rhino & Grasshopper
"Good tool, half the job": This proverb could equally be applied to the software industry. The better a program is task-tailored, the more efficiently tasks can be solved.
RF-COM/RS-COM | Scope of Functions

- Which programs can I use to calculate and design power plants?
- I am trying to import a model from cadwork. Unfortunately, I cannot correctly transfer the cross-sections from cadwork to RFEM. Do you have any tip?
- When importing a model directly from AutoCAD, the shape of the "spline" is sometimes incorrect.
- How to model a cable net structure in using the RF-FORM-FINDING add-on module?
- I would like to export the reinforcement of a slab in the Nemetschek format. However, no setting is available in the following window after selecting the surface.
