Description
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.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to apply rebar design workflows in Revit using FEM results stored in the analytical model, imported from structural analysis.
- Learn about designing and creating automated 3D rebar cages for concrete members such as beams, columns, footings, and walls in Revit.
- Learn how to generate rebar cages from design, adjust bars (with cranks, hooks), and group concrete hosts to optimize reinforcement.
- Learn how to produce design reports, rebar schedules, and detailed drawings by automating rebar cage generation in Revit.
