You can start the import from RFEM to Tekla Structures by clicking the Import from RFEM button
in the Tekla Structures ribbon (see the image
Add-in in Tekla Structures Ribbon
).
A dialog box appears where you can enter the specifications important for the data import to RFEM.
Import Type
Specify whether the data should Overwrite existing model or Append to existing model, and thus extend the model for the import into Tekla.
In case a model has been exported from Tekla Structures to RFEM and then edited in RFEM, you can only adopt the changes from RFEM by updating the existing model.
To update the model, you can specify individual settings using the update options.
Mirror
If you overwrite or extend the current model, you can mirror the elements on the global coordinate system.
Transfer of Further Information
After the import, you can retrieve the information about the material, the node number, and the member number of the individual objects. These attributes are displayed in the object info.
