Write Model Data to .SAT file
[Moderator Note: Shiomi originally posted this in the Out There subforum, under the Welcome thread. I felt it needed it's own thread so I've moved it here and given it a title.]
I am looking for a way to manage the model data by Revit including structural information and to transfer it to a finite element program by exporting it as a sat file and "some text files for physical-material-data". It seems that Revit writes element ID and material ID in sat file. But I cannot find the format rule of those. If there is anyone who uses Revit as structural modeller and conducts fem analysis (beam, wall, column as solid element. not line and plate element as Robt), please be kind to let me know how.
