File Transfer between Inventor and SCIA

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am working as an Intern using Inventor and SCIA(Structural Analysis Software). In our company we first develop the model using SCIA to check the strength of profiles using EuroCodes and send the DWG file along with steel profiles to design team. Our design team rebuilds the model in Inventor 2016 using NavisWorks and the DWG file from SCIA considering the Steel profiles. As we need to develop the model twice, it´s really time consuming for the company.

My question: Is there any way to directly open the 3D model from SCIA(.esa File) and directly proceed with further design or even Viceversa(opening the 3D model from Inventor in SCIA and proceeding with Structural Analysis)

Eagerly looking forward for your inputs(Infact this could be my future Thesis Topic!!) 

Regards
Akhil

What file types does SCIA import?  STEP? ACIS? IGES? DWG?

What file types does SCIA export? STEP? ACIS? IGES? DWG?

Hello Mr. Mather,

Thanks for the reply.

SCIA Imports --> XML file, SDNF, IFC, DSTV, .esa and Stepsteel

Export --> .stp, IFC, DWG,SDNF and Stepsteel

Hi iam actually working on an Inventor -> SDNF interface

actually the tool supports the standard profiles creates by contentcenter. Plates are not implemented so far.

if you want you can send me the steelstructure as an pack an go an i can use it with my converter which is in beta status currently.

Hey Markus,

Thanks for the help, ofcourse I can send you the Steel Structure. 

Can I send it you in Step Format as .stp file? or any other suggested formats?

are you still interested in a test SDNF File Export

@Ruffy85 of course I am interested, but I only have the .stp files. Right now I work only with SCIA software and do not have access to Inventor!
