Learn to build structural models in BIM Revit by assembling elements, applying concrete and steel materials, and configuring connections for structural analysis and generative design optimization.
Explore basic structural modeling in Revit to build concrete and steel elements, create connections, and craft accurate dynamic geometry with Dynamo for structural analysis and generative design.
Explore setting up a structural template in Revit, and configuring levels and views—from structural plans to elevations and three-dimensional views—for complete modeling.
Create and place beam elements in a Revit structural model, configure units, and visualize using different view styles while aligning with level one and analytical line for structural analysis.
Explore how Revit families constrain and define structural framing, from levels and height constraints to material, section shape, and parameter-driven editing of beams and columns.
Create and place structural columns in Revit using levels and grids, apply templates, and copy or adjust elements across levels while managing constraints and offsets in a three dimensional view.
Create structural beams and framing elements across multiple levels with proper connections to columns. Configure concrete properties and materials from the AC materials library for structural and thermal analysis.
Create floors by configuring floor structure in the floor settings, align concrete with framing, and use copy and modify workflows across levels while validating analytical and structural connections.
Create an isolated foundation slab and a connected pier cap in Revit, adjusting height and dimensions to fit the column structure, and copy the foundations across levels.
Create a concrete structural wall from level one to height level, set it to finish phase exterior, and cast in place as concrete 200 with rebar reinforcement.
Change the structure from concrete to steel by converting elements, adjusting floor levels, updating families and section types, and verifying connections and the analytical model.
Add and customize connections between structural elements in Revit, loading and selecting connection types, then edit parameters such as bolts, welds, stiffness, and plates to suit the project.
Edit connections by creating plates, bolts, worlds, and modifiers on beams, adjust plane selection, alignment, and offsets, and apply the naming convention to tailor connection geometry.
Utilize predefined connections and settings to create proper connections between columns and plates, including bolts and anchors, with baseplate customization ensuring consistent, working connections.
Modify floors across levels to a metal deck, align boundaries and midline, and copy beam systems to levels three and four for consistent structural framing and the analytical model.
This course would focus on creating structural models using different material types and elements so that they are properly configure for future structural analysis, detailed plans and schedules, In this case we will follow the logic required to sync and create the elements depending on their material properties, using concrete and steel elements.
We will start by assembling all elements on a concrete base model and from there would change materials and adapt their requirements, we will continue with steel elements and their connections.
This course its a complement on the construction processes for gneerative design use because structural elements require structural analysis for their optimization methods .
Generative Design is opening a lot of possibilities on the engineering and construction panorama, functionalities going for everytype of user , are allowing technology to make a difference on the way we work for any type of project.
Hence this course dont have any dynamo its still part of this new series its now pulling all dynamo and practical BIM workflows for a Generative Design and for solving construction problems
Generative Design and Dynamo are not yet on the peak that they will probably be on the next years so take the leap of faith, and start sooner unraveling your full potential for Modeling and Programming and enjoy at any time the freedom of possibilities to make technology work the way you need it to.
Join to a selective group that its looking for possibilities rather than restrictions, and be UpToDate for all the amazing possibilities that in any time can transform your way of working, to change it forever.
