Convert Robot files to Sap2000

[Anonymous]

I am being asked to convert Robot files to SAP2000 but I don't find any way to do it. Please, does anybody know if it is possible?

Thank you.

From ARSA not possible.

Maybe third party software or SAP converter if exists or write your own usign Robot API or basing on str file.

I thank you all.

The point is we don't have Revit. We are just using ARSAProfessional and our client wish to add our calculation model to his SAP2000 model.

No, I'm not Sheldon. Sheldon is the guy who seats by my side. How did you know that?

I give you one of the simplest models for a try, thank you.

PS: By the way. How can I show an avatar picture in the posts (like your bridge)?

I see you have converted the files via Revit but we don't have Revit.

I have tried saving as CIM Steel (CIS/2) (*.stp), that works with SAP200 but only with the geometry, neither with loads nor with combinations.

excuse me

first thanks for the tip ,and I would like to know if it is a straight forward procedure or there are cetain settings I must choose for it to work?

I only have knowledge in sap2000 that is why I am converting a robot model and it is my first time using both robot and rivet

so any help is highly appreciated
