Description
In this hands-on lab, you will hear a real-life story of an architect and an engineer collaborating on specific building design. Together, we will walk through the major steps of the structural analysis workflow, and discover the features fostering the most effective use of tools for analytical modeling in Revit. For some steps, we will use customized Dynamo scripts to demonstrate the power of this visual programming tool that enhances the out-of-the-box Revit features with extra capabilities. You’ll learn how to send the analytical model to analysis software, where we will perform some calculations and design checks to experience the modifications of elements. We’ll close the loop by demonstrating the tools for effective version control and changes monitoring to update our Revit model with analysis outcomes and transition the changes from analytical to physical model. This is a full end-to-end workflow flavored with a dose of humor, which we all like and need.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to generate analytical model entities from physical elements and how to keep them synchronized.
- Discover the power of Dynamo scripts that can streamline additional tasks focused on tailoring analytical models.
- Learn how to send analytical models to analysis and return with adjusted elements and results of analysis.
- Discover the enhancement of collaboration tools that helps engineers to track changes between models and control the updates.
