 FEA Extensions for Revit
Setting up the FE model in Revit & Export to SOFiSTiK FEA
 Switching from physical model to analytical model

Physical Analytical
model model

Need to adapt and discretize the

model before switching to
calculation
Mapping of Revit model

Automatic extraction from

Revit families for material,
sections and actions

Possibility to
manually adjust
values/definition
Adjustments of the analytical model
Without adjustment

Advanced setting of
the analytical model
- Meshing
- Numbering
- Releases

= Definition of the FE
model

With adjustment
 Decomposing a project in subsystems

Subsystem 2D/3D
• Auto. creation of rigid or elastic
supports
• Separate database
• Connection with main system

Possibility of investigating
both:
• Global 3D system
• Local 2D subsystem
Integrating results back to Revit
Possibility of integrating
and saving results
• Analysis values
• Design values

Visualisation & Collaboration

inside of Revit
• Load cases separately
• Design cases distinctively
SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation

Automatic generation of 3D rebars based on

design results
 Manual creation of rebars in Revit

Use of standard rebar shape or

user-drawn rebars

Manual positioning and

distribution of rebars

Tedious and time-consuming

process
 Automatic generation of reinforcement
3D reinforcement
Layout setting based on
automatically
norm and user-defined
parameters generated from the
design results

Compatibility with:
- SOFiSTiK Results
- External results (through
Revit Results Package)
Verification tools
Control of provided reinforcement
against required values

Plate & Shell

Beams & Columns
Foundations in a BIM approach

Update of Generation
Geometry of rebar

Two levels of integration

• Updating the geometry from
the design values
• Generation of rebar, incl.
connection-/ and sleeve-
reinforcement

Currently only with DIN-EN

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing

Modification / adjustment of rebar

Rebar Drawing & Schedules
Production of rebar drawing in Revit

3D Reinforcement
2D Drawing
 Automatisation of rebar drawing
Tagging
• Automatic tagging
• Distribution of rebar
• Display of layer / bar end
• Shape details

Bar marking & numbering Schedules

• Numbering per:
• On plan
• Sheet
• External documents
• Project
• Standard templates
• Object
• User-template
• Assignment of rebar to plan
• Shape symbols for Revit
• Layer information
Schedules
• Copy or freeze rebar information
• Revisions
• Rebar browsing

Assessing your choices of software
Full integration in the BIM Workflow

BIM Workflow for structural engineering

 Reaching for the engineer’s dream

Consultants dream about

“one tool for all”.

SOFiSTiK is close to this

dream, closer than anybody
else.
