ImportSAT file using Dynamo

[Ramyaa]

Hi,

I’m totally new to Revit and Dynamo and I’m trying to automate the process of importing the .sat file and save it as .rfa file.

I have imported the .sat file using ImportFromSAT node and have the output as Instances, but I don’t know which node to be used further or python scripting to save the output as .rfa file.

Please guide me how to proceed further.

My requirement is to upload multiple .sat files and convert them into .rfa files

This is working now, Thanks. But since I’m using FileSystem.GetDirectoryContents all the sat files are imported into single .rfa file. Is there a way I can execute the files in the directory one by one?

@Draxl_Andreas, any solution on loading and saving the instances one by one using dynamo nodes?
