Spacegass model export
Spacegass model export
(OP)
We have been analysing a conveyor gantry which has been subject to foundation settlement. We have used Spacegass to model the distortion of the truss frame and want to export the data for use in another CAD program for designing modifications for correcting conveyor tracking. So far we have only managed to export the input model.
Is it possible to export the deflected model from Spacegass, ideally to a DXF file?

Of course this is a somewhat messy work around. If I had to do this more than a few times I would use VBA to create the dxf file directly (or better yet write a Python script). If you get stuck let me know and I might be able to help with writing a small utility.

When re-importing the model from .xls, only the nodes were added. After using the exported .xls and modifying the node coordinates as you suggested, importing just the new nodes, overwriting the datasheet from the existing model worked.
This was for a single model with a few thousand members
