Question:
Is it possible to renumber cross-sections and materials in RFEM and RSTAB?
Answer:
Cross-sections and materials cannot be renumbered directly in RFEM or RSTAB.
In this case, it is necessary to carry out a small workaround. The following example shows renumbering of cross-sections by using Excel tables:
1.
First, the selected areas "Cross-Sections" and "Members" are exported as an Excel table. Since the members are linked to a cross-section, it is also necessary to change them.
2.
In Excel, the cross-sections are then renumbered correctly.
3.
It is also necessary to correctly assign the cross-sections to the members. The filter option may help you in this case.
4.
After editing, both tables must be imported back into RFEM or RSTAB.
