Import a model (esa file) into another model (esa file)

If you have two separate esa projects and you want to import one (or a part of it) into another, you can follow steps bellow.

Note: the imported esa file must be from the same or from a lower version of SCIA Engineer as the esa file where you want to import the project.

 

Option 1:

• Open an esa project.

• Go to File > Update > Project (.esa).

• At this point a window will appear, where you can choose, simply by ticking/unticking the respective check-box:

  • which element(s) you wants to import ('New entities', in green)

  • which element(s) you want to delete ('Deleted entities', in red)

Note: it is not only possible to import structural elements but also, library elements, loads, etc.

Note: the project to be imported should not be open, otherwise the procedure will not work.

 

Option 2:

• Open an esa project.

• Go to Structure > Advanced input > Import project (esa file).



• Choose the file to be opened.

• Select the insertion point for the imported structure.
