1. i F d oO Bi E a s i I The creation of the analytical model uses a smart system of engineering rules to produce a consistent analytical representation of the physical structure Of course engineers can override initial analytical settings and edit the analytical model based on their judgment before linking to structural analysis packages EE BLI iiai ee Model courtesy of RISA Technologies Revit Structure provides structural engineers with greater engineering insight following user defined rules the analytical models have the capability to adjust their location to attached adjacent structural elements analytical projection planes Engineers can also automatically check analytical inconsistencies such as missing supports global instabilities and framing anomalies before sending the model to structural analysis i ee r ee DE o a FW de a FD be i a TiS ak Bas a o m m lt Model courtesy of Adapt Corporation The analysis programs then return the design information such as changes in member sizes and changes to the structural systems which in turn dynamically updates the entire physical model and therefore the documentation This capability eliminates much of the redundant work and repetitive tasks done by structural engineers modelling frames and shells in many different applications To find out which software partners have linked their applications to Revit2. David Pluke Principal and VP of Technology Ericksen Roed amp Associates Inc Seamless Co ordination Because Revit Structure uses building information modelling BIM every view drawing sheet and schedule is a direct representation of the same underlying database As project team members work on the same project making inevitable and necessary changes to the building structure parametric change technology in Revit Structure automatically co ordinates changes across all other representations of the project model views drawing sheets schedules sections plans and details The design and docu mentation stay co ordinated consistent and complete Bidirectional Associativity The building model and all of its views are part of the same information system This means changes to any part of the structure need to be made only once maintaining consistency throughout the documentation sets For example if sheet scales change annotations and graphics are properly resised If a structural member changes the views where this element is displayed are co ordinated and updated automatically including name tags and other labels referring to the element properties Building Information Modelling The creation and use of co ordinated internally consistent computable information about a building project in design and construction Enhance Structural Modelling Capabilities Revit Structure focuses on the modelling of multimaterial bu

Revisions used ona sheet are displayed in a revision schedule on the title block A comprehensive revision table lists all the changes made by team member and date so users can better manage changes and track documents a e ee o o E a a a an B a E bmp a j L E E I Filters The filter management tool enables users to highlight specific objects for improved visibility within the structural model User defined selection filters provide a visual method to call out objects that share common properties For example objects selected in the filter can be turned on or off highlighted in a specific colour or line style or even turned half tone Schedules Save time by creating schedules on demand Schedules are just another representation of the same building model Change a schedule and all other views of the model co ordinate and update automati cally Schedule features include sorting filtering grouping and counting as well as user defined formulas Customised schedules can be used by engineers and project managers to check the overall structural design For example schedule and review structural loads before integrating the model with analysis software If the load value needs to be changed it can be modified in the schedule and automatically co ordinated throughout the model Use graphical tools to split the schedule table once it has been placed onto a drawing sheet Split sections of the schedule table are ass
