I am trying to import my etabs analysis result to rcdc. I had tried to import it directly by "import .edb " option but it doesn't work.
Then, I tried to export my etabs file in form of access, get it convert into mdb. And then importing it to RCDC. But it shows error message "Unable to read analysis data. "
Things to mark that I had provided min output station for beam 13 and for column 3.
I had etabs version 18.0.2 and RCDC connect version 8.0.0.16.
Please suggest me some solution if you know any solution.
RCDC 8.0.0.16 is not compatible with E-tabs 2018. In the E-tabs 2018, when you export the data the file extension has changed to .accdb. it was earlier .mdb file.there are major changes in the database files. So RCDC version earlier than 9.1 are not compatible with E-tabs 2018.Please upgrade the RCDC to latest version. i.e. 09.03.00.25
So, is it good idea to use etabs 2016 with my rcdc 8.0.0.16 version ?
Yes, RCDC 8.0.0.16 is compatible with E-tabs 2016.I would request you to check the enhancement done since released of 8.0.0.16 released. click on below link to get latest updates in RCDC,
