VCmaster t2W Interface
The individually defined printout reports in an RFEM or RSTAB model can be displayed in different ways.
Subsequent Installation of Revit Interface
The interface to Autodesk Revit is installed automatically during the installation of RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8. Subsequent installation of the plug‑in is possible through the execution of Revit-Installer.exe.
Simplified Import and Export via Conversion File
In the age of BIM, data exchange between the various disciplines of structural engineering is becoming increasingly important. Since each software has its own specifications with regard to the description of cross-sections and materials, RFEM and RSTAB offer a conversion table (mapping file).
DXF Export
Once you have determined the final tendon geometry in RF‑TENDON, exporting the model to a CAD program can be useful. For this purpose, the module includes the option to export the file in the .dxf file format. You can select the export function by right-clicking the workspace. After selecting the DXF format and the storage location, additional settings can be made.

Product Features
"Update only Materials, Thicknesses, and Cross-Sections" Export Option

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.

Transfer of Reinforcement Objects from RFEM to Revit

Surface reinforcements defined in the RF-CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module can be exported to Revit as reinforcement objects via the direct interface. To do this, you can optionally select surface, rectangular, polygon, and circular reinforcement areas in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces. In addition to bar reinforcement, it is possible to export mesh reinforcement.

Data Exchange with Advance Steel via *.smlx Files

When exchanging data with Advance Steel using *.smlx files, the interface is detected automatically. This means that *.smlx files can be created even if no version of Advance Steel is installed.

Feature 002904 | Direct BricsCAD Interface

Using the direct interface of RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 with BricsCAD, you can import and export nodes and lines.

Furthermore, you can export different objects (for example, cross-sections) from RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 to separate layers in BricksCAD.

Further features include the export of a deformed FE mesh and dimension lines.
