Automatic Generation of Load Combinations in Revit
Structural loads are an important consideration in the design of buildings. Building codes require that structures be designed and built to safely resist all loads that they are likely to encounter during their service life. In Revit, depending on the load duration and type, various load natures can be created (dead, live, wind, etc.). Structural…

Smarter infrastructure with open data standards
Today’s AEC projects are driven by Building Information Modeling (BIM), which requires centralized data sources and ways to share information easily. To facilitate a seamless exchange of data across multidisciplinary parties around the globe, data interoperability and standardization are key to leverage BIM for the timely delivery and cost savings on Infrastructure projects. Longtime commitment…

Hello from the Revit Community Manager!
“Welcome to Autodesk!” Those three words are still sinking into my brain! I have recently joined Autodesk as the new Revit Community Manager after well over a quarter of a century in the architectural and civil drafting fields. My first “real job” was board drafting (yes, with pens and mylar) for a mechanical engineer. I…

Wind Loads Simulation in AEC Collection
During a building project, designers and engineers must consider the impact of wind. Whether simply determining design loads or trying to optimize the aerodynamic effects of the building structure and surroundings, wind analysis can pose a challenge. Wind load on a structure depends on several factors including wind velocity, surrounding terrain, and the size, shape,…
