Export : ADC

This exports RC beam data for design in ADC (opens new window)/AdBeam.

The GSA model must contain RC beams (members defined as concrete beams) and analysis results for this option to work.

Having set up RC beams corresponding properties the “ADC AdBeam Export” dialog allows the user to select a list of beams for selected load combinations. The export creates an AdBeam model for each beam.

The following restrictions apply:

• Each member must be oriented to point in the same direction with the x axes pointing along the beam.
• The result is exported for selected load combination only.
• Minor axis bending and shear, axial loads and torsion in the beams are ignored.
• The beam member properties in the design layer may differ from the corresponding element properties in the analysis layer.
