System Visualization

SOFiSTiK SOFiSTiK Structural Desktop

Hello,

I am a new user of Sofistik. I have received a model from a colleague of one bridge (3D finite-element model). Unfortunately, on the “system visualization” tab, I could not see any elements even if they are listed on the side. How can I visualize my system?
I Tried to click on the cross-sections button to visualize the system but it did not change anything.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Numa

The animator only shows an FE-system
→ You need to generate the beam elements also (not only the sections)

If you want to check out the sections open the result viewer instead

Thank you for your answer.
How can I generate the beam elements? I couldn’t find it.
Also when i try to “all calculate”, I obtain the following:

Hello

Have you exported the system from SOFiPLUS(-X) to the SSD?
It seems like you haven’t created the FE-System yet.

open the task “SOFiPLUS(-X)…” > export the system
grafik

Before you start with SOFiSTiK, I recommend you to watch the SOFiSTiK Beginner Tutorials.
