HI..
I am working on analysis of equipment(Vertical Heat exchanger) resting structure at height of 50 meters from foundation. We have structural sway for different elevation given by civil. We want to attach structure with piping to take effect of actual stiffness of structure, as the structure is much complicated and so many elements it’s very difficult to model completely using CAESAR STRUCTURE MODELLER.As the modeling in Caesar modeler is much time taking, can we import structure from STAAD (structure analysis software from “Bentley Software”) in CAESAR to avoid much modeling? If it is not possible with STAAD than let me suggest any other structure modeling software which is compatible with CAESAR STRUTURE MODELER. As structure modeling is much essential in very tall structure analysis, such facilities will be much helpful.

You can't. Read this:

Thanks Dan..
I suggest coade should work in this area, it would great help and would make analysis more accurate..
Thanks
