To Export Steel Construction Data in StaadPro Format
You can export straight steel beam construction data (type, length, position, position relative to the profile reference curve, and profile end offsets) to structural analysis or other software. Data is exported relative to the standard coordinate system of the assembly in a format which is used by Structural Analysis software (StaadPro). A staad_section_translation.txt file is included in the definition subdirectory to facilitate the conversion of Creo Advanced Framework section names to StaadPro section names. To create and export a StaadPro file:
1. On the Framework tab, click > .
2. Choose an export method:
◦ Type y — Include export member offset information
◦ Type n — Do not export member offset information
3. An export file named <assembly_name>.std is created. All successfully exported profiles are highlighted in green.

Ensure that you inform the recipient of the export file if all profiles are not successfully exported.
