Compatability with Structural Analysis Programs

[Anonymous]

My firm is in the process of deciding which BIM solution we will use, Revit or ArchiCAD. As we have an in-house structural department the integration between our drafting program and various structural analysis programs is critical to our decision.

Can anyone help me to clarify which programs have an interface with ArchiCAD?

(While I personally prefer ArchiCAD, this is a definite "deal breaker" for us.....especially considering that Revit has directly integrated RISA into Version

ArchiCAD can of course export via DWG or IFC.

Other threads here indicate support for AxisVM:

Another thread talks about the desire for a direct connection to Risa from AC:

although people in that thread are using RISA with AC.
