Analysis and Design Partners

ADAPT-Builder concrete design suite offers a complete bidirectional link with Revit® Structure. Users can seamlessly transfer concrete slab and mat 3D models with all relevant information to ADAPT-Builder for detailed analysis and design. ADAPT-Builder software’s unique, true 3D finite element analysis (FEM) engine translates physical model information imported from Revit Structure into an accurate analytical model. Use models originally created in ADAPT-Builder to generate Revit Structure models. ADAPT-Builder Suite programs include ADAPT-Floor Pro and ADAPT-MAT.

The ETABS and Revit Structure integration provides a smooth path for information exchange between important aspects of the structural engineering workflow. The model can be prepared in the Revit Structure environment with the model information, and then made directly available to ETABS for analysis, design, and optimisation. The Revit Structure model is automatically updated with the latest design information produced by ETABS.

Dlubal Engineering Software offers leading analysis and design packages for structural engineers. The intuitive software is used worldwide by more than 6,500 engineers. RFEM, the ultimate finite element program, is outstanding in its graphic user interface and allows visual modelling and handling of complex structures. RFEM includes beams, plates, shells, and solids, as well as libraries of many materials and most international sections. Concrete design, stress, and stability analysis, as well as dynamic analysis capabilities, are available in additional modules. RFEM and Revit Structure integrate seamlessly and allow the automated replication of models.

The Scia Engineer platform offers computer-aided engineering (CAE) with a unique “true analysis” model for the design and analysis of steel, concrete, composite, aluminum, and timber structures. The powerful finite elements solver allows, by its inherited structural model, a direct analysis of frames, slabs, walls, shells, and any kind of mixed structures of a structural application, such as Revit Structure, including DWG™, IFC, U3D, and vrml exchange.

Scia Engineer provides Revit Structure users with the advanced structural analysis functionalities necessary to analyse any appropriate parts of their 2D and 3D models in depth and on any workstation. Nemetschek Scia also provides technical support, user guides, and training by professional engineers.

ProDESK is an add-on for Revit Structure that helps you transfer your complete building model from Revit to PROKON Frame Analysis. Despite the complex translation process that goes on in the background, it is a simple procedure to execute with a wizard guiding you through the process. The transfer procedure offers you a great degree of control and flexibility. Structural steel and concrete are transferred directly with their correct section profiles and orientations according to a concurrent section database in PROKON. Pad and wall footings are transferred as point or line supports. Slabs and walls are meshed using quadrilateral shell finite elements with complete control from the user.

Bentley’s RAM Structural System is specifically developed for building designers automating the most time-consuming design tasks, such as gravity and lateral load generation. It provides fully integrated design of deep and shallow foundations, as well as links to RAM Concept for the design of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete slabs and mat foundations. The RAM Structural System includes RAM Steel, RAM Concrete, RAM Frame, and RAM Foundation.

The integration with Revit Structure allows engineers to begin the model in RAM Structural System or Revit Structure, make changes in either product, and update and synchronise their models.

As an Autodesk Authorised Developer, RISA Technologies has worked closely with Autodesk to help ensure compatibility between RISAFloor, RISA-3D, and Revit Structure software. RISAFloor and RISA-3D link with Revit Structure and each other to provide a robust, two-way exchange of information, enabling synchronisation between the Revit Structure physical model and the analytical model in RISAFloor and RISA-3D.

ROBOT Millennium is a feature-rich structural analysis and design software application capable of modelling and analysing virtually any type of structure, no matter how advanced the geometry conditions. ROBOT Millennium is an ideal analysis companion for building information modelling (BIM) software and works with even the most demanding structural models.

With ROBOT Millennium, Revit Structure users can directly analyse their models without oversimplification or interference with the overall building information model, satisfying the requirements of their chosen analysis solution.

Revit Extensions for Revit Structure 2009 (Subscription customers)
Revit Extensions extend the capabilities of Revit Structure in several key areas, including structural analysis and reinforced concrete drafting. Revit Extensions provide immediate value to Revit Structure users with Autodesk Subscription. Revit Extensions are also easy to download, install, and use.

With its brand-new Revit Structure interface, SOFiSTiK adds high-performance finite element information modelling to building information modelling (BIM).

Using the SOFiSTiK Structural Desktop Suite, engineers can perform finite element analysis and design for virtually any structural system—buildings, bridges, tunnels or post-tensioned structures.

SOFTEK Structural Office 8.0 provides an integrated suite of products used for analysis and design of steel and concrete structures. The flagship product, S-FRAME, offers

SPACE GASS is a fully featured 3D analysis and design package that now has a smooth bi-directional link with Revit Structure. The analysis solvers in SPACE GASS include linear and non-linear static, dynamic, response spectrum, buckling and cable analysis. Coupled with the advanced design facilities in SPACE GASS, it becomes a complete analysis and design module for Revit Structure.

Structural Integrators, LLC, a provider of Revit Structure add-ins and custom solutions, has developed an interface between Revit Structure and Bentley Systems’ STAAD.Pro®. You can now avoid duplication of effort by exporting your Revit Structure model to STAAD.Pro for analysis and design. Future versions of SI Xchange™ for Revit Structure will increase the level of integration with STAAD.Pro, allowing engineers to send model changes back to Revit Structure from STAAD.Pro, and providing a full bidirectional link between these two applications.
