Section 2: Exporting a Model from STAAD.Pro to AECOsim Building Designer through ISM

Course Description

In this section, you will learn how to export a STAAD.Pro model to AECOsim Building Designer through ISM.

Skills Taught

Creating the ISM Repository from a STAAD.Pro Model

Importing the ISM Repository into AECOsim Building Designer


Open a STAAD.Pro Model

In this exercise, you will learn how to open a STAAD.Pro Model.

Define the Member Attributes

In this exercise, you will learn how to define the member attributes using the following command:

Add Member Attributes command

When a STAAD.Pro model is exported to ISM, all collinear members with the same cross section and orientation will automatically be joined to form one physical member. To prevent this from occurring, use the Add Member Attribute command to ensure the collinear members are exported as separate physical members.


2. In the menu bar, click Select > Beams Parallel to > Y and then click Select > Beams Parallel to > Z.


Note: For this model, all of the infill beams and girders will act continuously across the supporting columns when the model is exported to ISM. To ensure the infill beams and girders are broken at the correct locations, we will assign the Add Member Attributed command to the girders and columns (the supporting members).

3. In the Main Window, right-click and select Add Member Attributes from the pop-up menu.

4. In the Member Attribute dialog, enter the following information:

Attribute Name: STRUCLINK
