I want to export the "solved" model wire frame with the final section size of each member to a DXF format file.. I use this DXF file to make a wire frame of the model and to select the member sizes of members in a AutoCad Structural Detailing model. I use the computed member joint forces to select a RAM Connection design.
In the STAAD model, when the tab "Post Processing" is selected and the property "Section" (X) on the Labels tab of "Diagram" page is made active, then the final member section sixes are shown on the model wire frame. I exported it to a AutoCad DXF file.When I open the DXF file with AutoCad, the member sizes change back to the sizes I assigned to the model when I made the model file. The final member size thst is shown on the analyzed model wire frame will show on a "Post Print Current View'" print, but not show in the exported DXF file.
Is there a way to export thie model with final member sizes to a DXF file?.
thanks for your help.
