FEA Extensions for RevitSetting up the FE model in Revit & Export to SOFiSTiK FEA

Switching from physical model to analytical model

Physical model

Analytical model

Need to adapt and discretize the model before switching to

calculation

Mapping of Revit model

Automatic extraction from Revit families for material, sections and actions

Possibility to manually adjust values/definition

Adjustments of the analytical model

Advanced setting of the analytical model- Meshing- Numbering- Releases

= Definition of the FE model

Without adjustment

With adjustment

Decomposing a project in subsystems

Subsystem 2D/3D• Auto. creation of rigid or elastic

supports• Separate database• Connection with main system

Possibility of investigating both:• Global 3D system• Local 2D subsystem

Integrating results back to Revit

Visualisation & Collaboration inside of Revit• Load cases separately• Design cases distinctively

Possibility of integrating and saving results • Analysis values• Design values

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation

Automatic generation of 3D rebars based on design results

Manual creation of rebars in Revit

Use of standard rebar shape or user-drawn rebars

Manual positioning and distribution of rebars

Tedious and time-consuming process

Automatic generation of reinforcement

Compatibility with:- SOFiSTiK Results- External results (through

Revit Results Package)

3D reinforcement automatically generated from the design results

3D reinforcement automatically generated from the design results

Layout setting based on norm and user-definedparameters

Verification tools

Beams & Columns

Control of provided reinforcement against required values

Plate & Shell

Foundations in a BIM approach

Two levels of integration• Updating the geometry from

the design values• Generation of rebar, incl.

connection-/ and sleeve-reinforcement

Update of Geometry

Generation of rebar

Currently only with DIN-EN

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing

Modification / adjustment of rebarRebar Drawing & Schedules

Production of rebar drawing in Revit

3D Reinforcement2D Drawing

Automatisation of rebar drawing

Bar marking & numbering• Numbering per:

• Sheet• Project• Object

• Assignment of rebar to plan• Layer information• Copy or freeze rebar information• Rebar browsing

Schedules• On plan• External documents

• Standard templates• User-template

• Shape symbols for Revit Schedules

• Revisions

Tagging• Automatic tagging• Distribution of rebar• Display of layer / bar end• Shape details
