The conversion can be done using a conversion file. In addition to the description in the third-party application and the corresponding description in RFEM/RSTAB as described in the article Simplified Import and Export via Conversion File, you can use regular expressions for the conversion. In each case, it is necessary to define the conversion for importing (to RFEM/RSTAB) and exporting (from RFEM/RSTAB). For this, the following syntax is required:
Import format:
REGEX_IMP: example material or cross-section; example alternative material or cross-section
Export format:
REGEX_EXP: example material or cross-section; example alternative material or cross-section
Example:
There is the following conversion to be done:
Pi(B) 500/20/15/300/400/100/12/4/3 <--> ZHWS400*500*15*20*100*12*300
REGEX_IMP:^ZHWS(\d+)\*(\d+)\*(\d+)\*(\d+)\*(\d+)\*(\d+)\*(\d+); Pi(B) $2/$4/$3/$7/$1/$5/$6/0/0
REGEX_EXP:^Pi\(B\)\s?(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+); ZHWS$5*$1*$3*$2*$6*$7*$4
