Answer:
For parametric cross-sections, the definition is in meters, as Grasshopper refers to the SI units.
Exporting Parametric Cross-Sections from Grasshopper
I get an error when entering the name of a parametric section (for example, R_M1 500/1000) in Grasshopper.

The data exchange between RFEM 6 and Allplan can be done using various file formats. This article describes the data exchange of a determined surface reinforcement using the ASF interface. This allows you to display the RFEM reinforcement values as level curves or colored reinforcement images in Allplan.
The recently introduced Webservices gives users the ability to communicate with RFEM 6 using their programming language of choice. This feature is enhanced with our High Level Functions (HLF) Library. The libraries are available for Python, JavaScript, and C#. This article looks at a practical use case of programming a 2D Truss Generator with Python. "Learning by doing," as the saying goes.
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

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.
How can I exchange data between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and IDEA StatiCa?
I use a template for the data exchange with Revit or Rhino/Grasshopper, and get an error message.
I get an error when entering the name of a parametric section (for example, R_M1 500/1000) in Grasshopper.
I get an incorrect conversion in Tekla/Revit when using regular expressions in the conversion table.
Where can I find the complete Dlubal material and section denotation? I need it for the conversion when exchanging data with other programs.
How can I enable model add-ons when using WebService?
How can I create a new model with add-ons enabled?
