DSTV Product Interface

Steel Engineering designs can be imported and exported via the DSTV Product Interface. You have the option of exclusively exchanging statics information, e.g. nodes and bar elements with statics programs or transferring complete constructions including sub-parts and processing.

If the protocol should be shown after data export, select the appropriate check box. A detailed listing of any errors that may appear in the log can be called by double clicking on the appropriate entry.
