To export a Structural model to CIS/2
- Click the CIS/2 Export icon. The CIS/2 Export dialog opens.
- Accept the defaults for the Export to file and Log file settings.
- Select Process master file only from the Reference files drop list. Only the Structural members in master file will be exported. Structural members located in referenced files will be ignored.
- Select Design from the Export Mode setting drop list. Selecting this mode will include information about the structure’s design assemblies which detail the members and their connections.
- Check the Include Reaction Forces option.
- Select Located Assembly for the handrails setting. Selecting this option exports handrails as an assembly rather than as individual members.
- Check the Export curve as polyline option. If the program which will read the CIS/2 file does not support curved members, the CIS/2 Export tool will provide an approximation of the curved member.
- Check the Export Shear Stud Coordinates option.
- (Optional) Enter the Structural project information to be exported along with the model in the available text fields at the bottom of the CIS/2 Export dialog.
- Click OK to complete exporting the Structural model to the CIS/2 format..
