Extensions for Revit

Background of ROBOT Millennium

ROBOT Millennium is a pure “native” MS Windows® program for structural analysis and design that has a very wide area of application.

The commercial version of ROBOT Millennium is feature rich and offers the following benefits:

• 3D frame analysis with section libraries from over 40 countries
• finite element plate and shell analysis with powerful market leading automeshing
• steel and concrete design to over 50 codes
• advanced analysis – seismic, P-Delta, cables, plasticity, time history, non linear dynamic etc.
• multilingual – 15 languages supported including English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic…
• an Open API interface using COM Technology – “ROBOT Open Standard” allowing users to integrate their own pre or post processors and applications with ROBOT Millennium

Information about “Structural Analysis for Revit® Structure”

“Structural Analysis for Revit® Structure” is a totally free variant of ROBOT Millennium with a slightly different file format. The software will enable:

• 2D and 3D multi material frame structures with up to 200 members
• FE plates and shells - walls, floors and surfaces with up to 1500 nodes
• Section libraries from around the world
• Access to the ROBOT API to allow users to integrate their own applications
• Bi-directional integration with Revit® Structure (after installation of the “Integration of Revit® Structure with "Structural Analysis for Revit" enabler included in the full package of Extensions for Revit.)
• Linear analysis, English language support

• Example3: Integration of ROBOT Millennium with Revit Structure - the purpose of this example is to show the ease of transfer of data from Revit® Structure to ROBOT Millennium and also to show how changes in the model made in ROBOT Millennium can be reflected again in Revit® Structure.

At the heart of ROBOT Millennium is a very powerful structural modeller and mesher that will accept virtually any geometry of structural model. This underlying technology, combined with the Open API of ROBOT, has allowed Robobat to develop a quality bi-directional integration with Revit® Structure.

A key philosophy of Robobat’s integration with Revit® Structure is that the integrity of the BIM model is maintained at all times, not only with physical data (such as beams and columns) but also with “non cosmetic data” such as member numbers, beam design parameters, releases etc.
