Collaboration with Structural Analysis Software

ARCHICAD can share the Structural Analytical Model with structural analysis applications via the Structural Analysis Format (SAF). This is a global, open-source file format, developed by Nemetschek Group and optimized for this purpose.

Import and export of the Structural Analysis Model in IFC format (IFCStructural Analysis View, developed by buildingSMART) is available in ARCHICAD 24 as an Experimental Feature.

Both collaboration methods are described in the following sections:
