The .etz file extension identifies a RAM Elements model file. RAM Elements is developed by Bentley Systems and is used to produce structural designs from materials such as steel.
An .etz file contains the data for a model and its related building analysis and design work. It is intended to be used as part of a RAM Elements project rather than as a general-purpose data-exchange file.
RAM Elements is available for Microsoft Windows. The .etz format is therefore normally handled within the Windows version of RAM Elements.
Open the .etz file in RAM Elements on Microsoft Windows. Use the program's Open command and select the file.
If RAM Elements is not installed, the file may not be usable in another application because it is a native model file for that software.
Open the model in RAM Elements and use the program's supported export or save options when a different output format is required.
