Hi, is possible to import a ifc file exported from archicad with composite walls explode with multiple walls ?

I don't think that it is possible.
The IFC Translators can be set to save the geometry of the skins of Composite Walls and the components of Complex Profile elements.
However, these will be IfcBuildingElementPart entities. The whole wall will be an IfcWall in the resulting IFC file, composed of these IfcBuildingElementPart entities. It is easy to see this hierarchy in an IFC Viewer (e.g., Solibri Anywhere).
I think, for your purposes, the skins/components would have to be saved as IfcWall entities in order for another application (or even Archicad) to import them as Wall elements.
