Autodesk Revit Structure software—the building information modeling solution for structural engineering.
Autodesk Revit Structure software is the purpose-built building information modeling (BIM) solution for structural engineering firms, providing tools for structural design and analysis. Revit Structure integrates a multimaterial physical model and an independently editable analytical model for more efficient structural analysis while providing bidirectional links to popular structural analysis software. Make better decisions earlier in the design process by more accurately visualizing a structure before it is built. Revit Structure helps provide the advantage of BIM to improve multidiscipline coordination of structural design documentation, minimize errors, and enhance collaboration between engineering and architecture teams.
The analytical model in Revit Structure is bidirectionally linked with Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis software. With bidirectional linking, your analysis results will automatically update your model. Parametric change technology coordinates those updates throughout your project views and construction drawings. Revit Structure also links to third-party structural analysis and design programs, facilitating the exchange of structural analytical information. The types of information that can be shared include:
Revit Structure is interoperable with Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit MEP software. Structural engineers and architects, as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, can use software based on the Revit BIM platform and work more efficiently on the same shared database. Perform interference checking between architectural, structural, and MEP elements. For even greater coordination, receive electronic notifications about the design changes made by the rest of the design team.
With Revit Structure BIM software, worksharing distributes the power of the parametric building modeling environment across the project team. Multiple users can share the same intelligent building information model and save their work to one central file. Worksharing provides a comprehensive range of collaboration modes:
- Within a structural engineering firm
- Between engineers and drafters
- Within an architectural engineering firm
- Between engineers and architects and drafters working with them
- Release and boundary conditions
- Loads and load combinations
- Material and section properties
