Create the analytical model in Revit for structural analysis

When you are preparing a Revit model to be transferred to Robot or other structural analysis programs, you need to review the structural member releases to verify they are correct. You may also want to define load combinations of various types that can be exported to Robot or other structural analysis programs.


Course overview

When you are preparing a Revit model to be transferred to Robot or other structural analysis programs, you need to review the structural member releases to verify they are correct. You may also want to define load combinations of various types that can be exported to Robot or other structural analysis programs.

In this course, you learn how to:

  • Apply boundary conditions and check member releases
  • Define loads and combinations
  • Review and adjust the analytical model
