Enhance process to export STAAD model to SACS

Need to enhance the tool which is used to export the STAAD model to SACS. Belows points need to be taken care when enhancingthe feature.

  • Section properties created in staad using ‘USER TABLES’ are not supported

  • RHS/SHS sections imported to SACS as concentric tubulars and not boxes.

  • Member offsets set to fractions of an inch, i.e., 0.66” in SACS and 283mm in Staad

  • Some prismatic sections created in Staad not imported to SACS

  • No loads cases or combinations imported to SACS

  • Material properties reset to American-imperial (ksi/in-ft etc) and not metric.

Refer Feature (PBI) #749491

    Thank you for posting this idea. This will be shared with the SACS development team that implmented the tool.
