What is a .AFS file?
An AFS file is a special kind of computer file used by people who design the foundations of buildings and other structures. It is made with a program called STAAD.foundation, which is a tool that helps architects and engineers to create and check their designs to make sure they are strong and safe. Inside an AFS file, you can find information about different parts of a foundation, like the concrete parts, the metal parts, and even the type of soil. This helps the designer to see if their foundation will hold up well under a building.
To open an AFS file, you need to use a specific program called Bentley Systems STAAD Foundation Advanced. This program lets you look at and work on the foundation design.
It's important to know that AFS files are not used anymore because they were replaced by a new type of file called SFA when the software was updated to version 7. Also, the name of the software was changed to STAAD Foundation Advanced. So, if you're working with the latest version of the software, you'll be dealing with SFA files instead of AFS files.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .AFS file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
