Structural Engineering

Computer aided design and analysis software can aid the whole structural engineering process including the collaboration with the other design disciplines working on the project. Structural design can be more productive and efficient using Autodesk Revit Structure, particularly if the other disciplines also adopt the Revit platform - but that is not essential; and for the analysis stage Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis software provides a powerful and flexible tool.

Features include (depending on software used):

  • Improved integration between design and analysis stages
  • More productive methods for generating repetitive elements
  • Bidectional linking for "round-trip" analysis of design
  • Easier handling for design changes and better coordination
  • Link to intelligent 3D models in other applications
  • Faster production of design and documentation

Building Information Modelling

Building Information Modelling (BIM) can increase quality and productivity while reducing costs and risks.

Excitech Revit Toolkit - Coordinate Scheduling

The Excitech Revit Toolkit Coordinate Scheduling tool enables users to automatically acquire precise X, Y and Z coordinates from specific Revit objects. This allows users to more rapidly produce schedules of, for example, piling and services; as well as to locate coordinates for complex geometry across 3D space. BIM
