Autodesk Revit & Robot Structural Analysis

Prepare the Revit file by separating ground and first-floor elements, aligning origin, and repositioning components to ensure correct level ordering for import and saving.

Create a new Revit file with the metric structure template for robot structural analysis. Set project units to metric and verify wall thickness is 200 mm using AutoCAD.

Set and rename levels in revit, adjust the distance between levels, and offset lines to add or modify levels from ground to foundation.

Import AutoCAD files into Revit via insert > import, set the origin to internal, and preserve color and layers. Place on the ground floor and verify in 3d view.

Learn to create and modify grid lines in Autodesk Revit by using the architecture tab, snapping to midpoints, grouping grids (like abc), and adjusting elbows for a clean grid layout.

Learn to turn off grid, layers, and annotations from an imported AutoCAD plan, adjusting ground floor and ground level views to produce a clearer plan.

Explore configuring 3d visualization in revit: hide unnecessary IDs and annotations, show dimensions, and align ground level and control room views while troubleshooting grid origin issues.

Set the ground level base rule, then use the align command to align columns, beams, and slabs, and lock the result for precise alignment.

Model a concrete column in Revit by selecting structure, choosing a concrete column type, duplicating it, and placing the column; set the base level to foundation or ground floor.

Learn to model a concrete beam in Revit by selecting structure, choosing concrete, duplicating a type, editing to 200 and 300, and placing it in plan and 3D view.

Model the beam at ground level in Revit, adjust views with visual effects, and verify the analytical model shows all elements connected for seamless import to Robot Structural Analysis.

Define the concrete slab by going to structure, selecting the generic option, duplicating the type, naming it lab, and selecting the material from the material window.

Model a ground floor slab in Revit by selecting corners, using the rectangular tool or picking points, finishing the slab, and previewing a realistic view.

Model the staircase collapse and create slabs in two regions, adjusting slab thickness to 200 mm, then add beams and align heights to simulate the staircase structure.

learn to fix overlapping between slabs in Revit by selecting the affected slab or the larger slab, adjusting endpoints or edges, and verifying in plan and analytical views.

Instantiate and slope the staircase slab in Revit by defining ground level start and end points, applying a slope, and offsetting the head height by minus 1700 mm.

Identify gaps in the analytical model not visible in the 3d view, extend magenta lines to join elements, and verify proper load transfer for a correct model.

Rename the base level analytical, the ground level analytical, and the roof analytical names to match the model's levels in the Revit project.

Learn to replicate architectural elements in Revit by selecting the exact components, filtering with view levels and layers, and copying them to the ground level using align to selected levels.

Model a mumty wall in Revit by adding levels, aligning top of stairs, placing columns, and creating slabs and supports, then validate with an analytical view.

Apply boundary conditions by selecting lines in the analyze tab, switch to the analytical model, and apply the support conditions, then remove unused elements and export to global destruction analysis.

Export your model from Revit to Robot for analysis via the analyze tab, using the report structural analysis link and the direct integration with Autodesk for global structure analysis.
