To Export Steel Construction Data in DSTV Format
You can export straight steel beam construction data (type, length, and position) to structural analysis or other software. Data is exported relative to the standard coordinate system of the assembly in a format that is compatible with Deutscher Stahlbauverband DSTV.
1. On the Framework tab, click > .
2. You are prompted to enter the number of the export definition:
◦ Enter 1 (Trimmed profile ends) to export the real positions and lengths of the profiles as they appear in the assembly.
◦ Enter 2 (Untrimmed profile ends) to export the real positions of the profiles as they appear in the assembly. The length of the reference curve is used for length information. All profile end cuts (such as by joints) are ignored.
◦ Enter 3 (Ref-Curve) to export the profiles using the position and length of the reference curve. All profile end cuts (such as by joints) are ignored, as is movement of the profiles relative to the reference curve. The exported design is different from the Creo Elements model.
3. An export file named <assembly_name>.stp is created. Exported profiles are highlighted in green.

Ensure that you notify the recipient of the export file when you use export definition 2 or 3, or if all profiles are not successfully exported.
