  • I am not aware of any direct way to do this. People who are familiar with Abaqus may be able to offer more help. Here are my two cents. If you have a couple of sections to transfer, manually entering the properties in Abaqus would be the quickest. If there is a long list of such sections, you may check if Abaqus is able to read data from Excel tables or not. If yes, then you may copy the section properties from the STAAD.Pro input command file or the .upt file ( if the data is in an external table ) and paste it into Excel to get the properties data in a table. You may need to edit the data further as needed.
