What is Revit Structure?

Revit Structure is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software application developed by Autodesk. It is specifically designed for structural engineering and construction professionals to create detailed and accurate 3D models of building structures. Revit Structure is part of the Autodesk Revit family of software, which includes tools for architectural design, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering, and structural engineering.

• Parametric Modeling: Revit Structure allows users to create intelligent and parametric 3D models of structural elements, such as beams, columns, slabs, walls, and foundations. Parametric modeling means that changes to one part of the model automatically update related elements.
• Structural Analysis Integration: The software facilitates the integration of structural analysis tools, allowing engineers to analyze the structural behavior of the model and make informed design decisions. It can interface with various analysis software for detailed structural analysis.
• Design and Documentation: Revit Structure provides tools for structural design and the generation of construction documentation. Engineers can perform design checks and produce accurate construction drawings, plans, elevations, and sections.
• Load Analysis: Engineers can apply various loads to the structure, including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and seismic loads. Revit Structure calculates and analyzes the effects of these loads on the structure.
• Foundation Design: The software includes tools for designing foundations, considering factors such as soil properties, bearing capacity, and settlement.
• Steel and Concrete Design: Revit Structure supports the design of both steel and concrete structures. Engineers can perform design checks for structural elements to ensure they meet safety and code requirements.
• Collaboration and Coordination: Revit Structure supports collaborative workflows, allowing structural engineers to work in coordination with architects, MEP engineers, and other stakeholders within the same BIM environment.
• BIM Integration: Revit Structure is part of the broader BIM ecosystem, enabling seamless collaboration and information exchange with other Autodesk software and third-party BIM-compatible tools.
• Construction Sequencing: The software allows users to visualize construction sequences and simulate the construction process, aiding in project planning and coordination.
• Drawing Production: Revit Structure automates the production of construction documentation, including detailed drawings, schedules, and material lists.
