How can I get my STAAD.Pro model exported directly in SACS?

There is a procedure by which one can directly get a STAAD,Pro model exported to SACS.

Go to Ribbon Tool bar in STAAD.Pro -> Utility-> User Tools. Select the option Export Model to SACS as shown in graphical illustration (step 3).

The direct export option lets one transfer not only wireframe but other information like Member Properties, Material Properties, Member Orientation, Member End Condition like Member Release, Support, conditions.

An illustration is attached.



This direct import skips CIS/2, DXF and ISM interoperability.
