I'm currently using the above tool to import point loads from Excel and this is working fine, but currently you can only 'Bulk Import' point loads from Excel and not line loads - is this functionality able to be added into the current utility?
Hi Andrew, Can you please tell me more about your workflow (applications you are using), how did the line loads made its way into Excel?
Hi Wentao,
From Mesh Input > Tables > Walls below, I export the location data of each of my walls to a text file and then paste into excel, along with the wall reactions (Loadings > Other Dead Loading > Tables > Wall below reactions). Using the location co-ordinates I can convert the point reactions into line loads and also factor in self weight of the walls for the DL case.
Just not sure how I can then get these line loads back into RAM in a tabular format, similar to how point loads can be converted into a GCFF file from the program above.
Hi Andrew,
I have updated the link with a new 7z file. Please download and extract with 7zip and try again.

Do let me know if its working for you.
Cheers,

How do you fix this concrete error, i was after a straight f2k import to gfcc export. the tool seems a bit complicated to do that
