Hello all, I have a unique situation and wonder if the software has a solution.
We have a linked AutoPIPE V8i Select / STAAD PRO file. Sometime after the STAAD steel model was integrated in to the AutoPIPE model, the original STAAD model was lost. Is there a way to export the steel portion of the linked AutoPIPE model back to STAAD PRO.
Based on this thought process, I would also like to know if steel "originally" modeled in AutoPIPE can be transferred to STAAD as a new file; that they then can use / change / analyze?
Thanks.
Hello Foley4523,
Please see the following AutoPIPE command, File> Export> Model to STADD Using PipeLINK:
When the dialog screen appears press the help button to see the online help for this feature. There are 9 items listed under "The following data will be exported:". No other data is exported or other links from AutoPIPE to STAAD besides the "*.Pipelink" file mentioned in the help section.
