Autodesk® Revit® Structure software provides coordination and change management through fully integrated physical and analytical modeling for structural engineering, analysis, design, and documentation.

• Increase Productivity
  Does your engineering team spend too much time on laborious and repetiÆtive tasks, such as entering the same information for various analysis models and again for construction documents? Autodesk Revit Structure provides a timesaving solution that enables engineers to create a single building model for different types of analyses and for all construction documents.
• Improve Accuracy and Consistency
  Are you looking for a better way to handle design changes and reduce coordination errors? Autodesk Revit Structure minimizes manual view updates as well as the headaches associated with last-minute changes. Every drawing sheet, every 2D and 3D view, every detail, and every schedule is a direct representation of the same underlying building database, so a change anywhere is updated everywhere. In addition, Revit Structure enables all construction documentation to accurately reflect any design change resulting from linked third-party analysis.
• Better Design Flexibility and Coordination
  What if you could improve coordination among the entire design team? Autodesk Revit Structure models link to Autodesk® Architectural Desktop, Autodesk® Building Systems, and Autodesk® Revit® Building for efficient coordination between structural engineers, MEP engineers, and architects. And, Revit Structure allows you to easily accommodate changes late in the project enabling better design flexibility.

Autodesk Revit Series 8.1 SV  Features:

• One single model for both structural analysis and documentation
  Autodesk® Revit® Structure combines a physical model of the building fully associated with an analytical model editable by the structural engineer. While the physical model is used for drawing production and coordination, the analytical model is used by third-party structural analysis applications. Any design changes made during the analysis automatically update the Revit Structure model as well as the construction documents.
• Bidirectional associativity between model and views
  In Revit Structure, every 2D and 3D view, every drawing sheet, every detail and every schedule is a direct presentation of inforÆmation from the same underlying building database, so each time you make changes, it propagates those changes throughout the model and updates every related plan, section, elevation, or schedule. This key feature of Autodesk Revit Structure makes all the difference in the systemÕs ease-of-use and responsiveness, helping to eliminate coordination errors and improve overall documentation quality.
• Bidirectional links with multiple analysis packages
  The Revit Structure analytical model is dynamically linked with external structural analysis and design programs such as the industry-leading ETABS software from Computer and Structures Inc. and RISA-3D software from RISA Technologies.
  Bidirectional linking means that analysis results accurately and automatically update your model if any member size has changed. And parametric change technology coordinates those updates everywhere in your project views and construction drawings.
• Multiple materials
  You can use several materials such as steel, cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, masonry, or wood. You can mix different materials in the same structural model.
• Parametric structural components
  Revit Structure offers a full set of structural design tools such as walls, joist systems, beams, trusses, open web joists, precast concrete elements, concrete rebars, steel connections, anchors, metal decks details, etc. Parametric definitions allow quick revisions to any object types. New objects or details or symbols are graphically created and stored in families that you can edit and reuse in several projects.
• Powerful drawings production
  Revit Structure automates the repetitive and manual drafting tasks done in conventional CAD systems. Sections, elevations, and call-out detail views can be cut instantly. Referencing of sections, elevations, and details is done automatically in accordance to the sheets numbers. With the bidirectional associativity described above, any change in any view is propagated in every related view and drawings stay fully coordinated. Details can be based on views of the model with added graphics, or independent 2D drawings created in Revit Structure or conventional CAD files imported or linked into the project.
• DWG/DXF/DGN support
  Autodesk Revit Structure imports, exports, and links your data with the industryÕs best DWG compatibility. Native support for DWG, DXFª, and DGN formats assures fully compatible data exchange. Revit Structure supports the traditional workflow where structural modeling starts with 2D DWG files provided by the architect.
• Worksharing
  Worksharing distributes the power of the parametric building modeling environment across the project team on Revit platform. You share the same intelligent building information model in one file. Worksharing provides a complete range of collaboration modes: within a structural engineering firm, between engineers and drafters; also within an architectural engineering firm, between engineers and architects and drafters working with them.
• Bidirectional links with Autodesk Architectural Desktop
  For better coordination with architects using Autodesk® Architectural Desktop, Revit Structure imports 3D object-based architectural models and also exports 3D structural objects back to Architectural Desktop. This link also allows for collaboration with MEP engineers using Autodesk® Building Systems. Structural engineers can export their structural elements into Autodesk Building Systems for interference checking between ducts and pipes and structural members.
