Revit Plays a Significant Role in Structural Modeling
by Pinnacle Infotech Pinnacle Infotech, Global Leader in BIM ServicesRevit is developed by Autodesk for supporting structural engineers to deal with the complexities of the structural designs. It accommodates some of the sophisticated structural modeling tools and is considered to be one of the best software applications in the construction sector. Revit has solved major problems in executing structural BIM services through its easily accessible tools and has enabled the modelers to create information rich structural models. The engineers can successfully complete the structural framework of the building, after executing Revit modeling. Besides Revit structure, structural modeling can be done by Tekla software. However, Tekla is mostly used for industrial structure detailing and Revit offers the best solution for residential buildings.
Let’s check out the advantages of using Revit Structure in structural BIM services:
Enhanced Team Collaboration – The parametric features of Revit help in structural design documentation and facilitate collaboration between different teams by minimizing errors in the model. All the documentation work is done by the physical model in structural analysis and the results of structural analysis can be effectively discussed among the structural design team, based on which strong decisions are taken for design rectification. Using Revit structure, the design gets effectively rectified by the structural engineers during the preconstruction stage, saving much of project cost.
Improved Structural Analysis – Revit makes improved structural analysis through enhanced structural analytical mode, where Local Coordinate System widgets as well as the elements of structural analysis are displayed. Revit has a wonderful mechanism of producing automatic analytical model which helps in performing effective structural analysis by evaluating the capacity of the structural components in load bearing. The analytical model of Revit includes information regarding the structural components, loads, accurate geometry and concrete data pertaining to the properties of the material.
High Quality Energy Analysis - Autodesk Revit is capable of making high quality energy analysis for structural building framework through ‘energy setting’ dialog box. The ‘Building Element Mode’ is used for making energy simulation. Moreover, structural energy analysis can be performed through Conceptual Mass Mode.
IFC File Support – IFC files are also supported by the Revit structure by clicking the ‘Link IFC’ dialog box and they help the current projects to get additional project information as reference. Any change made to the project is reflected on the IFC file, if the link is reloaded.
CAD Files Connectivity – Revit helps to connect CAD files through its ‘Link CAD’ option and executes structural BIM services successfully. ‘Multiple material modeling’ option can be clicked for connecting CAD files and the engineers can use various materials like concrete, steel and wood in the modeling.
There is no doubt that Revit plays a significant role in structural modeling. Structural designers can model complicated details of 3D structural elements and help the engineers in analyzing design validity through Revit. The support of high quality structural models helps the construction professionals to extract a lot of detailing and fabrication info and conduct structural analysis. Opt for the best structural BIM service provider using Revit and get flawless structural design for your construction project.
