Workflow:
o The architect creates the model of the building structure in ArchiCAD. The load-bearing structural elements can be modeled using the beam, column, slab and wall tools.
o Then the model is exported via the IFC 2x2 format into AxisVM 8.
o In AxisVM, the structural engineer makes the necessary modifications and additions on the structural model and performs the required structural analysis on it.
o The architectural documentation is created from the original model in ArchiCAD
o The structural engineer creates the structural documentation based on the structural model in AxisVM.
The I/O Process:
To use exchange data, you have to do the following:
1. Download the latest version of Graphisoft’s IFC 2x2 from http://www.graphisoft.com/support/ifc/downloads/public/, and uncompress it.
2. Install the add-on into your ArchiCAD 9 (Add-Ons Folder) when the ArchiCAD is not running by double-clicking on the uncompressed icon.
3. Start your ArchiCAD and, using the standard AC9 Library, assemble the structure you would like.
4. From the ArchiCAD Floor Plan view, choose save as IFC 2x2.
5. Do not forget to have the following configuration on the Export tab page:
6. Start your AxisVM 8, select the Import menu and open the IFC file
