Reinforced Concrete Building in Revit#
Note
The following tutorial is based on the SOFiSTiK version 2022. The content and the project files will be updated to version 2023 as soon as possible.
Introduction#
This tutorial deals with a reinforced concrete building modelled in Revit. The main objective of this tutorials is to present the use of the Application for Revit called SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design.

Some basics regarding Revit’s analytical model#
What is the fundamental information you need to know about Revit before starting to use SOFiSTiK’s Application.
Training example#
This training is based on a simple 2 storeys concrete structure, each floor supported by walls and columns and stiffened by beams.
Ground floor plan:
Floor plan Level 1:
Floor plan Level 2:
Preparing the model#
Before performing calculation, it is important to correctly prepare the Revit model.
Setting the analytical model#
Since the calculation model is derived from the Revit formwork model, it is important to be able to control and adjust the geometry of the analytical model.
Calculation properties#
Once the geometry of the analytical model is set, additional information is required to have a full calculation model.
Analyses#
With a complete calculation model, several analyses can be performed on the model:
Linear analysis of the 3D model
Linear load take-down via 2D model
Linear analysis of the 3D model with effect of construction stages
3D linear analysis#
Analysis of the global model.
2D linear analysis#
Load take-down and analysis of 2D models of the project’s levels.
3D staged analysis#
Analysis of the construction stages on the 3d model.
Concrete design#
With the results of the structural analysis, the concrete members can be designed to determine the required reinforcement and make all the verification or ULS and SLS.
General settings#
Setting the project for the design of concrete elements.
Column design#
Design of concrete columns.
Beam design#
Design of multi-span concrete beams.
Slab design#
Design of concrete slabs.
Results#
All the results of the analyses and designs can be displayed and shared, both within and outside of Revit.
