Extensions for Revit

Conceptual Form Simulation

Using the Conceptual Form Simulation extension, you can perform a simulation of static analysis of a 3D solid defined in Revit® Structure.

You can load solid information from Revit® Structure:

• geometry
• material parameters
• supports
• loads
• load cases
• load combinations.
  

All results are presented in appropriate tables and on diagrams.

To perform a simulation:

• define a solid in Revit® Structure and meshes on the solid faces
• launch the Conceptual Form Simulation extension (meshes are exported as finite elements)
• modify material parameters or thickness values for finite elements (if necessary)
• define supports at the mesh nodes
• define loads
• perform calculations
• view the calculation results (internal forces, displacements, animations of displacements). You can save the result report in a Microsoft Excel© or Microsoft Word© file (in a mht or html format).
