Often times users have inquired about ways to:
- Input Items in Ram Concept in a tabular manner
- Import ETABS floor files to Ram Concept format.
We have created a converter that caters for these two commonly asked queries. The converter works by exploiting a little used functionality in RAM Concept, the ability to SYNC to a STAAD GCFF text file.
The Converter is an EXCEL VBA Program, it converts inputs to a GCFF file format that allows RAM Concept to read in the elements. Coincidentally ETAB can export to a F2K format which is also a text format that the Converter can handle. The following graphics illustrates this.
This current version of the converter can handle F2K files from ETABS only. First line of the F2k file should read "$ File Exported from ETABS.......".
