The Dlubal programs RFEM and RSTAB have an integrated interface with Autodesk Revit. It enables you to directly exchange data between the structural analysis and CAD programs. Basically, the following procedures are possible:
- In Revit, an analytical model is created and, if necessary, supplemented with loads. The complete model is transferred to RFEM/RSTAB where it is adjusted (adding supports, loads, combination of load cases, etc.). After the design and optimization of objects, the completed structural analysis is available. The changes can also be synchronized with the Revit model in an update process.
- In Revit, an analytical model is created. An extracted substructure is transferred to RFEM/RSTAB where supports, loads, combinations, etc. are added. After the design and optimization of the objects, the structural analysis is complete. The modifications can also be aligned with the Revit model in an update process.
- In RFEM/RSTAB, a structural analysis model is created, designed and optimized. The structural analysis is completed. The complete model or a substructure is exported to Revit. There the quantity survey takes place, the production plans are created, etc. Any potential changes can also be aligned with the RFEM/RSTAB model.
On our Website, you will find general explanations concerning the data exchange with Autodesk Revit.
Additionnally, a Knowledge Base Article presents an example with export settings for Revit that are relevant to planning with BIM.
