Importance of Revit Structure in Structural Engineering

The Building Information Modeling software Revit Structure is bringing better prospects for Structural engineering firms. Considering the fact that structural engineering is a complex field, Revit Structure has brought great relief to the companies providing structural engineering services. The use of Revit Structure in Building Information modeling has in a manner changed the way construction activities used to take place. Working with Revit Structure gives the project more clarity and efficiency. Revit Structure’s implementation in structural engineering has largely decreased the time taken to complete a project. Since its various features make the work easier it ultimately speeds up the construction activities.

Revit Structure helps in making a Computable Building Model of the project

Revit structure helps in making a computable building model which is the combination of the physical representation of a building with its analytically representation. This computable model is very helpful in the production of structural design and coordination. Structural engineers depend largely on analysis which forms the core part of structural design process. However, when we talk about architectural engineers they hardly make the use of analysis.

The physical representation mentioned above represents the physical layout of the building structure. This includes walls, columns and beams etc.

Design Coordination in Revit Structure
One of the most important features of the Revit Structure is that it helps design coordination. Designs can be easily coordinated with the different Revit disciplines. This means that the different engineering teams working in a project can easily coordinate their design. For example an architect makes a certain change in his or her design it can be directly viewed by the structural engineers in the Revit Structure. Since Auto desk Revit has already has it’s different disciplines like Revit Architecture, Revit structure, Revit MEP, so it becomes easy to coordinate with these disciplines.

Clash Detection
Revit structure helps largely in the clash detection. Since coordination can be done with different disciplines clash detection also becomes very easy in Revit Structure. By finding out clashes in these early stages it makes it easier for the engineers to execute the project properly.
All the above mentioned description of the Revit Structure explains it clearly that it is very crucial in Building Information Modeling.

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc

Structural Design Procedure: Step Wise Description

Construction of the building requires humongous time as it includes development of multiple disciplines like architecture, structure, MEP and ultimately bringing them all together. Amid all these discipline structural design is one of the most subtle disciplines as it strengthens the building and makes it stand still. It doesn’t mean that other disciplines are not important; however structural design is more convoluted. Before structure gets developed, initially lots of analyses are conducted in order to ensure sustenance of the building. The procedure starts with several analyses like site analysis, soil analysis load calculation etc. Site analysis is conducted to have an idea about feasibility of construction while soil analysis is done to identify the quality of soil and whether it is able to endure the load of the building. In load calculation it is being calculated that how much load a structure can bear. Having received green signal from all those analyses design

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as industrial and c
