Our company recently went from Risa to STAAD, is there any way to import a RISA 3D file into STAAD other than the DXF feature? The dxf only imports the geometry and I would like to get the properties. I know you can go the other way, from STAAD to Risa but not sure about Risa to STAAD.
With STAAD, there is an open interface “OpenSTAAD” that can be used to generate files, but you would need some programming experience to set up a converter. STAAD also imports CIS/2 files if that helps.
If you can still get into RISA, you might have luck using a copy-and-paste routine, copying things like nodes and member incidence from one application’s tables to the other.
