- It may be useful to keep RSTAB 8 as a license so that you can easily edit old projects in the future.
- With RFEM 5, you can open models created in RSTAB 8. The structural and load data are transferred, apart from a few exceptions. For add-on modules, it may be necessary to rework or enter the data due to the different data formats – in comparison with RSTAB, RFEM additionally requires surface and solid elements.
- It is also necessary to convert the possible active service contracts.
- As there are various product families, there is no standard price for the upgrade. We can provide you with price information after evaluating the relevant case. For this, simply contact our sales department.
Upgrade from RSTAB to RFEM
Can I upgrade RSTAB 8 to RFEM 5?
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to the instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download): "Easily display interactive 3D models on the web & in AR" .
With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.
The direct interface with Revit allows you to update the Revit model according to the changes you have made in RFEM or RSTAB. Depending on the modification, the Revit objects may have to be regenerated (deleting the object and subsequent regeneration). The regeneration is performed on the basis of the RFEM/RSTAB model.
If you want to avoid this regeneration, activate the check box 'Update only materials, thicknesses, and sections'. In this case, only the properties of the objects will be adjusted. Changes different from those in material, surface thickness, and section are, however, not considered in this case.
The reinforcement proposal from RF-/CONCRETE Members can be exported to Revit. The rectangular and circular cross-sections are currently supported.
The reinforcement bars can be modified retroactively in Revit.
