StruSoft StruXML Revit enables two - directional communication between Autodesk Revit and StruSoft FEM-Design. It is a powerful, but at the same time easy to use, tool that transfers the analytical model along with its properties between the two programs.
One can fully benefit from the link, when the analytical model in Revit is well prepared and contains all the necessary information. And this part - preparation of the analytical model, appears to be a rather common problem.
The majority of support issues that I receive from our users does not apply to our Add-In itself (for which we provide a full customer support), but to the analytical model issues (which in theory is not really StruSoft's area of expertize). Anyway, I am always trying to advise the customer and at least, give some hints about the possible issues with the model. I will also try to collect some ideas in this article.
