How can I open an RSTAB 8 file in RSTAB 7?

Answer

For this, use the "Open" command of the "File" menu in RSTAB 7.


In the "Open" dialog box, the RSTAB 8 files are not visible immediately as the files for the program versions RSTAB 7 (and previous) are only displayed.

In order to be able to see all files (including the RSTAB 8 files) in a specific directory or folder, you have to change the file type to "All Files" in the lower part of the dialog box. Then, you will also see the newer files for RSTAB 8 and can open them in RSTAB 7.


Important: We do not guarantee compatibility when opening an RSTAB 8 file in RSTAB 7. Thus, the file or the model contained might be damaged. The module data and the results will also be deleted.


The same procedure is also possible in RFEM 4.
