    STP File Exported From SAP 2000 is Empty

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): 08.11.09.593
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  Import/Export
      Subarea:  CIS/2
      Original Author: Gerard Torres, Bentley Technical Support Group
       

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Problem Description

    We are in a metric workspace, metric dgn file w/ CISC.xml shapes file loaded up.  Upon attempt to import STP file generated from SAP2000 all we get is the dgn remains empty and a cryptic error log file is generated.  I'm attaching both the STP file and the log file.  Please decipher the error log for us as well as attempt to import the STP file into your metric environment.  Trying to determine whether our problem resides with the STP file definition or our metric workspace environment.

    Steps to Resolve

    SAP 2000 is an analytical software and for that reason the files exported from it can't be supported by AECOsim Building Designer since all exported files from SAP 2000 contain analytical data.

    For more information about SAP 2000 please visit their home page, if help is needed with SAP 2000 please contact their support directly.  In addition, a possible workaround would be to open/view the file in one of the analytical software provided by Bentley Systems, e.g. STAAD Pro.
