Revit Structure- A Tool to Success

Revit Structure software is a building information modelling application for structural design, analysis, and construction documentation. It has a physical model with fully associated analytical model. Since it was launched, a lot of companies were using this program on their successful projects. But did you know it was originally developed by a start-up company called Charles River Software (founded 1997) - later renamed Revit Technologies. Autodesk successfully acquired Revit Technologies on April 2002.

One of the major advantages of Revit Structure is the use of true structural elements such as walls, columns, beams, slabs, trusses and parametric building model. All structural elements have a property which you can modify according to your design.

The physical model composed of structural components such as columns, slabs, beams, footing and braces. It drives the construction documentation as well as coordination for engineers and architects. The analytical model contains information that can be used in several leading third-party analysis applications, such as ETABS and RISA-3D. The analysis program then returns information that dynamically updates the entire physical model and therefore the documentation.

With Revit Structure, curve beam is easy to make, whether it is in a vertical or horizontal orientation. It has a sketch mode settings where you can make your curve beams easily - it is just like making a 2D line. Just hit finish sketch icon after sketching all the necessary elements and you can go to 3D view to check your model

Every project has a detailed design stage, Revit Structure also provides materials for detailing, one is rebar which is often used as a reinforcement material in any concrete structure. Rebar sizes are available in tool options which allow the users to pick the desired bar size. Users can also draw their reinforcement detail in AutoCad and linked it into Revit drawing.



NOTE:

Since it is 3D, adding reinforcement into the drawing will make the project file quite heavy - users can’t work properly. Users need to have a higher capacity of the machine to work on this stage

Revit Structure is a 3D software, as a result, users can work in any of these views, switching between them as needed. Users can easily create their own views such as structural plan views fully associated with the corresponding levels. In a mouse click, automatic views are created from the model by just placing an elevation or section line on the floor plan. As the model progresses, Revit Structure automatically generates standard views including elevation and section views, and users can easily create their own 3D camera view of the building. Users can also alter the display of the elements in any view by choosing "wireframe,” "hidden line,” "shaded,” or "shaded with edges display.

  1. In this blog, you will see there are two ways to perform the analysis one is to simple and focuses on single dimension to analyze and other is deep and involves different angles to analyze. You would understand which method will work best for your campaign regarding keeping track of your PPC metrics. That way, you can continually improve the conversion in your campaigns.
