Frilo disc export-calculation-import

Module(s): Frilo Disc

You can use the Frilo Disc Export-Calculation-Import tool to transfer architectural components to the FE program for discs provided by Nemetschek Frilo GmbH. The program starts automatically. Based on the architectural components, the system is detected automatically.
When you exit the program, the results are generated and imported to the drawing file specified.

To transfer architectural components to the FE program for discs and start the program

• Save the drawing file under a meaningful name before you select this tool as the FE program uses this name for saving the results.

1. Click Frilo Disc Export-Calculation-Import (How).
   

   Activate Frilo Disc Export-Calculation-Import in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Frilo Structural Analyses Frilo Disc

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Frilo Disc

2. Select the architectural components to be transferred.
   

   • To select a single element, click it.
   • To select elements in a region, use the left mouse button to open a selection rectangle around the elements you want to select
   • To include all the elements in the current document, click All in the Input options or press CTRL+A. Please note that this option is not available for all tools.

   For more information on the options available for selecting elements in Allplan, see Selecting elements, overview.

   When selecting elements, you can use the Filter Assistant to apply a filter based on element types and/or properties. For more information, see Filter Assistant.

   The FE program for discs starts automatically and creates the system based on the architectural components.

   Note: The FE program for discs only starts when you have selected an architectural wall. If architectural components are not available, use the Start Frilo Disc tool.

3. Complete the entries in the FE program and perform the calculation there.
4. Exit the FE program and click Save to establish a link between Allplan and the FE program for discs based on the mark.
   Using this link, you can retrieve existing data in the FE program the next time you transfer the architectural components.

   Note: If you save the calculation under a different name in the FE program for discs and still want to establish a link, you need to use the same name to save the document in Allplan.

5. Transfer the FEA results to Allplan by selecting the drawing file to which you want to import the results.

   This is only possible when you have quit the FE program by choosing the Save option, which saves the results with the name of the drawing file in the FE program for discs.
   

Note: If you want to save the results under a different name, export them before you quit the FE program so that you can import them into Allplan using the Import FEA Files tool.
