# 3.8: Export 🔷

Karamba3D is not meant to be a substitute for a full blown structural engineering finite element software package. Instead it aims at providing flexibility in testing different structural designs that the more traditional FE-applications lack. We therefore started to implement interfaces to those traditional civil engineering packages.

At the moment Karamba3D supports data exchange with RStab5, RStab6, RStab7, RStab8 and Robot. With [GeometryGym ](https://geometrygym.wordpress.com/)it is possible to export Karamba3D model data to IFC.
