Possible to Batch Convert .sst files to .json?

[Yixuan_ZhongR227T]

That's my question.

Hi,

I don't believe this is possible as I have converted my files one by one as necessary, but it may be possible with some form of script but I don't know enough about .json file processing.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Kind regards

Hi

In the next major release you will be able to use script to convert a sst file containing beams and sections to json, e.g.

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "control": {
    "settings": {
      "outputFolder": "D:\\Test"
    },
    "process": {
      "processType": "MODIFY",
      "modelInFilename": "D:\\Test\\MyModel.sst",
      "commands": {
        "commandArray": [
          {
            "commandType": "SAVE_DATA",
            "modelFilename": "MyModel.json"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Is this what you are looking for, or do you have a number of files to convert?

This looks promising! Would be glad to be the first to try this!

Hi Yixuan

Structural Bridge Design 2024.1.2 hotfix has been released. It is now available for download via the Autodesk Access Desktop App or from the Products Updates section for ASBD in the Products & Services part of Autodesk Account. This hotfix addresses a number of issues and adds the SST file to JSON capability requested.
