    Importing grids (as dxf files) into the STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler

    Can we import grids (as dxf file) into the STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler ?

    As of now there is no direct option to import grids ( as dxf files) into the STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler (SPPM) but you may follow the steps listed below to do the same.

    Import the dxf file into the STAAD.Pro Analytical Modeler
    Create an ISM file (ism.dgn) from within the Analytical Modeler
    Create a new model in the Physical Modeler
    Import the ism file into the Physical Modeler

    The workflow is explained in more detail in the attached zip file  Associated_Files.zip

    The zip file contains the following

    Importing a grid.pdf - Pdf file explaining the detailed workflow

    Structure1.STD ( Analytical STAAD.Pro model created by importing a dxf file )
    Structure2_Physical.STDP - STAAD.Pro Physical Model
    Structure2_Physical.STD - Analytical model corresponding to the Physical Model
    STRUCTURE1.ism.dgn - ISM file generated from the Analytical Modeler and later imported into SPPM

    Structure1.dxf - The dxf file with the grids that was originally imported into Structure1.STD
