Hi,
From reading elsewhere on the internet, I understand that reinforcement and tendons are currently not supported in the transfer from RAM Concept via an ISM repository. Is this correct and if so at what date will the ability be available?
Thanks,
Ben
The ISM and RAM Concept developers have been working to incorporate rebar into the interface for a while and that is close to release. Tentatively around May 2011, at least for the Concept side of things.
Tendons are further away. That’s partly due to the parabolic curvature of tendons and the fact that currently Concept is the only ISM integrated program that I know of which has any notion of tendons at all.
Can you elaborate on your current workflow and where you would want to see the tendons, just to satisfy my curiosity? Are you moving all the data to Revit or ProConcrete for example?
We would like to transfer data between RAM Concept and Revit. The link via ISM seems ideal although without reinforcement and tendons it is not really complete. I realise tendons and rebar can be exported to CAD files and I assume it's possible to get that information into Revit that way although this is as a work around.
Have tendons been added to the ISM capabilities yet? If so, how? It seems reinf settings need to be switched from "Program" to "User" for all bar to be recognized in the ISM, but there is no way to apply this to tendons. Thanks in advance.
