BIM for Structural Engineering
Overview
Structural engineers have been using computers long
before Building Information Modeling software was
available to design professionals and the building
industry. However, there has long been a gap between
the tools structural engineers use for analysis
and design and the tools used to document their
designs. Revit Structure bridges this gap and provides
structural engineers with an opportunity to
streamline their analysis, design and design documentation
processes.
One key to using Revit Structure successfully to
bridge this gap is to recognize that the project
file you create using Revit Structure is a centric
database that can include a wealth of information
that you can use for analysis and design purposes.
Yes, your Revit Structure project files do contain
a digital model from which you can derive your construction
documents. However, it is much more than just a
3-dimensional modeling and document production tool.
It is a tool that allows you to capture analysis
and design information about your project so that
you are in a better position to streamline your
analysis and design process, minimize design errors,
be more responsive to design changes, and be better
prepared to evaluate design alternatives. With Revit
Structure, you can completely define your analytical
model so that you have all of the information necessary
to perform the analysis and subsequent design.
There are many ways that you can use the information
developed in your Revit Structure project files
for analysis and design. At the very core of using
Revit Structure is the ability to effectively create
the data in such a way that you can share and coordinate
the data with other design disciplines and use it
for analysis and design purposes.
Autodesk Revit Structure 2012
Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2012 software is the
purpose-built Building Information Modeling (BIM)
solution for structural engineering firms, providing
tools for structural design and analysis. Revit
Structure integrates a multimaterial physical model
and an independently editable analytical model for
more efficient structural analysis while providing
bidirectional links to popular structural analysis
software. Make better decisions earlier in the design
process by more accurately visualizing a structure
before it is built. Revit Structure helps provide
the advantage of BIM to improve multidiscipline
coordination of structural design documentation,
minimize errors, and enhance collaboration between
engineering and architecture teams.

Project Storm for Revit Structure
Project Storm for Autodesk Revit
Structure is a technology preview
that provides cloud-based structural
analysis to structural engineers as
a part of the BIM process. Results
can then be visualized and explored
within Revit Structure, but
disruptions to design workflows are
minimized by performing analysis in
the cloud. You can download the
update from the Autodesk Labs site.
Project Storm for Revit Structure on
Autodesk Labs
Below is a list of updates for this
release of the technology preview:
1. Calculation Reports can now be
generated as PDFs.
The PDF version of a calculation
report can now be downloaded and
saved locally. The content of the
report is the same as on the
website. It contains model views and
tables with analysis results. The
form of the report is ready to print
and attach to a technical
documentation.
2. Calculation Reports have been
optimized with content refinement.
Several issues have been corrected
in the content of a calculation
report. Moreover a new presentation
of linear supports is applied. They
are presented as diagrams. Reports
are more clear and compact.
3. Support for material defined as
Type Parameter has been added.
There is no limitation for materials
applied to members. Materials can be
defined now both as instance or type
parameters in models sent for
analysis.
4. Improvements were made for
results availability within Revit
Structure.
In some cases it was possible that
there were no results in Revit
Structure although the analysis was
completed.
Be sure to grab the new user manual
from the
Getting Started page.
Updating a technology preview with
the speed of a lighting strike is
alive in the lab.
