Structural Analysis with Autodesk® Revit® Structure Models Mike King Odeh Engineers, Inc. – SE2564 More than seven years ago, we started our first Autodesk Revit Structure software projects with the promise that we would be able to send our models to the analysis package of our choice, size all our members, bring it all back into Revit, and save ourselves countless hours of work. All these years later, we’re still working on it. The good news is a lot closer. Revit Structure 2012 offered a totally redesigned analytical model that is identical that we’re to that found in Autodesk® Structural Analysis. Revit Structure 2013 further improves on 2012 in truly Robot™ beneficial ways. We will look at how the Revit analytical model relates to the physical, which settings affect design, and how things translate between packages. We will show you best practices for a couple of tools as well as tips and tricks to streamline the workflow and truly capitalize on this promise of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Visualize and manipulate the Revit Structure analytical model and explain how the physical and analytical models interact Round-trip models and member sizes to external analysis packages Examine load paths and member reactions using Revit Extensions Reduce duplication of effort and increase productivity when modeling About the Speaker Mike King is a software engineer proficient in Microsoft® .NET technology. He has a background in civil/structural engineering and in-depth experience in .NET development of all types. He has worked to customize AutoCAD® from Visual LISP® and VBA to ObjectARX® and Microsoft .NET, and has significant experience with the Revit® Structure API. At Odeh Engineers, Inc., he has developed both line-of-business applications, such as a corporate intranet that incorporates CMS, CRM, and PM functionality, and specific-needs applications such as custom tablet PC tools for documenting field conditions. At Odeh Engineers Mike has collaborated with Autodesk on a number of subscription based Revit extensions. kingm@odehengineers.com
