PDMS to SAP2000

Do you need to export everything or just steel structures?
In this case, if SAP2000 can read SDNF files, you can use AVEVA Open Steel.

Hi.

I want to know how can i transfer my Project from PDMS design Module to SAP2000 Software.

thanks

It's a software.
You need the license from Aveva

Hi

How can I use AVEVA OPEN STEEL?   is it a software?

I can just export file with .RVM format.

There is a big difference between the format of a design model and an analysis model (nodes etc).

I have carried out this process and in my mind the work required to do the transfer and take the design data suitable for an analysis model is too much.

Build the analysis model separately, most engineers would prefer this anyway.

Hi,

Can you send me a link for download  "open steel" software?

thanks

It depends on which PDMS version you are using.
In your company there should be an original copy of AVEVA DVD software.
You can find Open Steel in there.
If you do not have the DVD, you can contact your local AVEVA Office and ask for it.

Ok.

I work with PDMS 11.5 , and i think that is my problem.
Open steel module was attached from PDMS 11.5 sp.1  and my version is old.

Thanks.

I agree with you Joatmon but....
Sometimes there are Main Contactors that are still using previous PDMS versions and subcontractors have to satisfy their requests....

As AVEVA has now released version 12.1.1, I would suggest that your company seriously considers migrating to a newer release!
I don't believe that 11.5 is actively supported any longer.
I see that 11.6.sp5 is still on the Product Map in the compatibility matrix, but this hasn't been updated to include 12.1.1 yet.
