Supported Elements and Mapping#
The following table provides an overview of Revit elements supported by SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design:
Revit Elements |
Support |
Notes |
---|---|---|
Materials |
() |
SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design automatically maps Revit Materials assigned in property Structural Material of analytical members and panels. These Revit materials are assigned to SOFiSTiK materials, based on the properties of the Physical Material Asset of the material in Revit. |
Sections |
() |
SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design automatically identifies the geometry of Family Types assigned in the property Section Type of analytical members.
Varying sections are supported if the start and end sections have the same number of edges.
|
Load Natures |
SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design maps Revit Load Natures to SOFiSTiK Actions bases on the load nature title. |
|
Grid Lines |
Straight and curved grid lines are exported to SOFiSTiK for visualisation in Graphic (accessed with the command Graphical Output). |
|
Levels |
Level information is transferred to SOFiSTiK according to the Export value set in their SOFiSTiK Structural Properties. |
|
Analytical Links |
||
Analytical Members |
Straight and curved analytical members are supported. Depending on the following properties, they are treated as:
|
|
Analytical Nodes |
Analytical nodes having a number and visible in the active view will generate a SOFiSTiK Structural Point in the Finite Element model |
|
Analytical Openings |
||
Analytical Panels |
Straight and curved analytical panels are supported. Depending on the following properties, they are treated as:
|
|
Boundary Conditions |
Elastic and rigid support conditions are supported in global as well as local coordinates. |
|
Structural Loads |
Constrained and non-constrained point, line and area loads are supported. Structural Loads and Structural Internal Loads are equivalent. |
|
Generic Models |
() |
Specific generic models families are delivered with SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design to model certain SOFiSTiK entities. Other generic model instances are ignored. |
Model Lines |
() |
Model Lines with specific line styles. Other model line instances are ignored.
