Bidirectional InterfaceTo extend the functionality for thedata exchange by means of DSTVstpfiles, it is now possible to transferthe physical model fromRSTAB/RFEM to Tekla Structures orfrom Tekla Structures toRSTAB/RFEM even more quickly byusing the new direct interface.Export to Tekla StructuresA model that is already calculatedand designed in RSTAB/RFEM, canbe exported directly fromRSTAB/RFEM to Tekla Structures, forexample for detailing reasons. Inaddition to the export of defaultcross-sections, parametric I-sections(IS, ICM) are transferred. Userdefinedcross-sections and materials,as far as included in both programs,can be exchanged by meansof conversion files.Dlubal NewsIt is also possible to export guidelinesavailable in RSTAB/RFEM asgrid to Tekla Structures.As columns and beams are oftendivided at connection nodes instructural analysis while the realmember is made of "one piece", andthus must be modeled as one partin Tekla Structures, it is possible touse "Set of members" definitions tocreate columns and beams in TeklaStructures.Data exchange between RFEM and Tekla StructuresUpdating ModelsWhen modifications in the structuralplanning might be necessary, youcan use the interface to update themodel in Tekla Structures. You canupdate modified materials, crosssections,floor and wall thicknessesas well as coordinates. It is alsopossible to remove constructionelements that are no longer availableand to add new ones.Import from Tekla StructuresIn addition to the analytical model,the interface offers you the possibilityfor a direct import of the physicalmodel from Tekla Structures toRSTAB/RFEM.Object informationFor a better overview in both programs,it is possible to write commentsthat have been defined formembers and sets of members inRSTAB/RFEM into the "Name" fieldof Tekla Structures. Informationfrom RSTAB/RFEM, for example fornode numbers, are retained as wellin Tekla Structures.Dialog box for data exchangeFurther Information:Ing.-Software DlubalAm Zellweg 2D-93464 TiefenbachTel.: +49 (0) 9673 9203-0Fax: +49 (0) 9673 9203-51www.dlubal.cominfo@dlubal.comFor more informationabout Tekla Structures, seewww.tekla.com.Software for structural and dynamic analysis
