Importing structures from an XML file generated by ETABS®

As of version 2024.f, ETABS® structures can be imported into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel.

An XML file containing all the model definition tables (MODEL DEFINITION) and the bar force tables (ANALYSIS RESULTS > Element Output > Frame Output) must be exported from ETABS®.

The structure can be imported via StruBIM Uploader or directly into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel.

In StruBIM Uploader, by selecting the "XML file produced with ETABS®" option, users access the file selection panel and select the BIMserver.center project, to which the data will be uploaded.

Information can be generated for StruBIM Shear Walls and for CYPE Connect or StruBIM Steel.

After exporting to BIMserver.center, in CYPE Connect or StruBIM Steel simply create the job from that BIMserver.center project.

In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, it can be imported directly via direct access to the StruBIM Uploader.

The bars and the forces in the bars are imported.
