Revit Structure 2011
Analysis, design, and documentation

Autodesk Revit Structure building information modeling (BIM) software for structural engineering provides purpose-built tools for structural design and analysis. With the advantage of BIM, Revit Structure helps to improve multi-discipline coordination of structural design documentation, minimize errors, and enhance collaboration between structural engineering and architecture teams.

Autodesk Revit Structure building information modeling (BIM) software for structural engineering features purpose-built tools for design, engineering, and analysis.

The analytical model feature now has improved tools where users can horizontally project from columns to the default plane, the auto-detected plane, or a named reference plane. Users can also horizontally project from the center line of a beam, location lines, grids, and named reference planes as well as set the horizontal projection from the center of a wall core to accommodate varying widths in structural walls.

Success story: Theo van Niekerk & Associates
He says creation of models for analysis, which would previously have taken at least two weeks to create manually, was done almost instantaneously.

"I had to create three models for analysis - the warehouse, the office block and also the basement of the warehouse. Previously, it would have taken me several days to create the models, and then there would also have been the laborious process of ensuring that changes resulting from the analysis were incorporated into the original model.

"With Revit Structure the model was exported to ROBOT Millennium for analysis. With the return of information to Revit Structure all
information was automatically updated in all views. If the analysis required the size of a structural member to be increased, this was automatically updated in the Revit Structure model.

"Not only was the building model automatically updated, but there was also no need to further update the construction documentation. Revit Structure has done away with a whole chunk of work altogether, which translates into huge time savings."

  Theo van Niekerk

"The integrated building information modelling came into its right when design revisions started coming through from other disciplines. The speed and convenience of 'A Change Anywhere Is A Change Everywhere' saved massive amounts of time and resources. We were able to update and re-issue our designs in record time."
