Can´t import the shells

I am trying to import FEM-Design files into GH. It works well with the bars, but I can’t get the shells/panels in. Has anyone else faced the same issue before and knows the solution?

Hi @utkupasin

There is definitely something odd somewhere :frowning:

Are you using the latest API for 22 version?

try do the following:
Save your model as .struxml using FEM-Design
Open the model with Model.ReadFromFile

hi @MarcoPelle,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I have the latest version. I am going to create a model for footfall analysis, so I gave it a try by saving a single floor and importing it to GH. In this case, I got the bars and the shells (walls) without any issues. However, the slabs are presenting the problem below.

I think it is because of the way they are modeled. I´ll try to change them to single block and import again.

But still, I don’t understand why I wasn’t able to import walls the first time, but it worked with the single floor model. :sweat_smile:

can you send me a file which I can use to Debug?
It will help in fixing the issue for you and for other users :slight_smile:

I have just sent you an email, thanks Marco :slight_smile:

What about those elements?

To be fair, it seems that FEM-Design open the model without any issue so it seems that the API has a bug
