Course details
Explore the fundamentals of structural analysis in a Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow using Autodesk Revit for improving design accuracy, analyzing the effects of structural loads, and creating more resilient and sustainable designs. Instructor Eric Wing demonstrates how to set load cases and boundary conditions, and check a model for consistency. Eric also shows how to use Autodesk Robot to perform detailed analysis and explore the results.
Topics include:
- Analyzing the integrity of models
- Structural and symbolic representation settings
- Load cases and combinations
- Analytical model settings
- Placing loads and adding load combinations
- Making adjustments to the model
- Resetting the model
- Checking model consistency
- Analyzing reinforcing
- Sending a model to Robot
- Updating and integrating a model with Robot
- The 360 Structural Analysis dashboard
