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.

How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?

BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance. • Commencing with BIM: Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process o...

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...

Revit component families: ‘Cut with void when loaded’ a crucial parameter!

I am sure you must be thinking, what is this ‘cut with void When Loaded’ parameter? So for your clarification, let me tell you that it is one of the most important parameter that is used by BIM modelers or technicians while they create custom components in Revit. When it comes to creating custom components in Revit they are developed by optimizing Revit’s Family Editor. Family template files which are Model-based have the luxury of containing ‘Cut with Void When Loaded’ parameter. In other words families created with void in the Family Editor of Revit, contain this parameter. ‘Cut with Void When Loaded’ parameter is used by Revit users for cutting solid architectural and structural   elements such as floors, ceilings, roofs, Generic Models and structural columns etc. in the project environment.     Let me just give you an example how this parameter functions in Revit. What actually happens is that, there should be solid architectural or structural elements i...
