Integration of RFEM in Tekla Structures
Structural Analysis Model in Tekla Structures
When designing a model in Tekla Structures, a structural analysis model is created automatically. You can export this model to RFEM at the push of a button. Information about structural supports and hinges that may be included in the Tekla model is also transferred. After the export, the structural system is calculated in the familiar RFEM environment. The structural analysis model does not differ from a model created manually in RFEM.
Intelligent Design Objects
The intelligence of objects is not lost during the data exchange: This means that you get another equivalent object in Revit or RFEM/RSTAB for a column or beam, not just a collection of lines.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you can export line graphics to the SVG format (vector graphics).
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and is an XML-based file format for displaying two-dimensional vector graphics. These vector graphics can be scaled without loss. It is possible to edit the SVG files using text editors, embed them on websites, and open them in the usual browsers.
Did 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.
