Discover how Revit software is becoming a complete structural design environment, enabling engineers to manage the full workflow, from analysis to reinforcement modeling. This session will showcase how to integrate results from finite element method (FEM) software (such as Robot Structural Analysis and Advance Design) directly into Revit to perform code-based design checks and generate reinforcement for concrete members such as beams, columns, footings, and walls. Learn how to automate 3D rebar cage generation, produce calculation reports, and manage reinforcement drawings with schedules within a single, BIM-integrated platform. See how this streamlined process minimizes manual input, reduces design errors, improves coordination across teams, and ensures compliance with both US and European codes. From design intent to documentation, Revit is reshaping how structural engineers deliver precision, efficiency, and quality in building projects.

The collaboration features of Revit Structure software with Structural Analysis software were widely presented and experienced over the last years. However, despite all this featured software, many structural engineers still stay with their Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and their common pencil-and-paper routine. Not all software supports all codes, and very often it is faster to use those light spreadsheets than it is to work with heavy analysis software. This workshop will demonstrate how you can implement those spreadsheets into the parameter fields of a Revit software family, making use of the formula capabilities of the Revit software parameter and of nested families in order to make Revit software tasty for engineers. We will present examples that will include a reinforced-concrete footing design, a concrete retaining wall, timber joists designs, and a timber joist cantilever design. The workshop will also cover the documentation features and possibilities.

Structural engineers use many object-level design tools to effectively perform their designs. These tools can range from off-the-shelf structural design software to simple spreadsheets. As Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption grows and general-purpose structural frame analysis software is being integrated with BIM workflows, connecting object-level design tools are not. There is an opportunity to drive BIM design information from these design tools in order to better streamline the engineer to BIM workflows. Come and learn how Graitec's Revit-based software will help engineers to get a real benefit from BIM.

Connected structural workflows are no longer science fiction but a stark reality that is delivering newfound accuracy and performance. In this class, we will show what a connected structural Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow in Revit software looks like, which will include exploring augmented reality on site. You will see firsthand how intelligent BIM data in a connected workflow can enable common structural elements (such as footings, columns, and beams) to be quickly designed to local codes, and automatically modeled, detailed, and scheduled all within Revit software. We will explore the essential steps that enable you to utilize default or your own custom structural Revit families to automate the creation of designed 3D reinforcement cages in Revit software, while using standard Revit families to configure automated drawings, views, bar schedules, and comprehensive design reports. You will take a virtual trip to site to visualize the reinforcement of your Revit project model using your mobile device without leaving your seat in the class. This session features Revit, Revit Structure, and Robot Structural Analysis. AIA Approved
