Revit Structure 2013 Add-In

The new Revit Structure Add-In that enables the export of a model from Revit Structure 2013 to FEM-Design is now available on the download page.

Recycle Bin

In the latest version of IMPACT Project Manager you will find a Recycle Bin in the File menu.

 

Select the elements to restore and click OK or Apply. Now you can generate the restored elements on Plan, Elevation or 3D Drawings.  In the Model Viewer click on Refresh and the restored elements will appear.

 

If there are question marks for length, width and height the element mark is also deleted. Then you have to make a new element mark with the same name as the deleted element before you can restore.

Revit Structure - FEM-Design connection

StruSoft offers a Revit Structure Add-In that enables an export of a Revit model together with its properties (material, profile, end conditions) into FEM-Design.

Revit Structure Add-In is a powerful tool that is well applicable in the BIM concept, providing a proper work flow between the pre-design of the building and structural analysis. For instance, an architectural model can be made in Revit Architecture and then linked to Revit Structure, where the analytical model should be separated and adjusted. Afterwards, the analytical model can be easily exported into FEM-Design, where one can proceed with structural analysis and design of the structure.
