Analysis + Design v6.0.333, Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler v6.0.164, Reinforcement Detailing v6.0.163,
Reinforcement Generation v5.0.49, BiMTOOLS v5.0.58, 3D-PDF Export v5.0.26
SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design enables you to perform structural analyses of buildings and member design directly in Autodesk Revit. The App provides for a full Finite Element Analysis and design workflow – from model consistency checks to code checking for concrete members like slabs, columns, and beams. Structural analyses can be performed in 3D – allowing for realistic simulation of the structural stiffness and optional consideration of the construction sequence. Additionally 2D and 3D subsystems can be adopted in combination with an automatic load takedown. Members can be grouped and accordingly designed in Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States. Calculation and design reports will be generated automatically. Results can be visualized and managed in Revit or be transferred to spreadsheets for further processing using the Export to Excel function. Together with the full support of collaboration features, SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design enables a seamless structural analysis workflow within Revit. When installed with SOFiSTiK 2020, the app enhances into a Revit interface for the full SOFiSTiK FEA.
SOFiSTiK Bridge Modeler supports BIM in Bridge Design and Detailing. The application allows users to create parametrized 3D bridge models using alignment parameters and generic families in Autodesk Revit. The product consists of the software itself and content including generic families for super- and substructure creation. These families can be easily modified or created from scratch to meet local and company standards. Additional bridge equipment elements such as parapets and railings can also be created. Automatic generation of section views, top views, longitudinal sections, and elevation points-assists users in detailing and documenting their structures.
SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing significantly accelerates the creation of 2D reinforcement sheets out of 3D models in Autodesk Revit. The product consists of software and a set of families, which can easily be modified to meet local or company standards. Creation of bar lists, bending schedules and cut lists for wire meshes is included as well.
SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation automatically generates a 3D rebar model inside of Autodesk Revit based on computed analysis and design results. The rebar model provides an automatically generated proposition of reinforcement layout which fulfils the reinforcement requirement and which can be freely modified. Design requirements from construction codes and company standards can be controlled by user-defined rules similar to the approach used in expert systems. Visualization of existing reinforcement vs. required reinforcement provides a clear indication whether adequate reinforcement has been provided.
SOFiSTiK BiMTOOLS are a set of free tools for Autodesk Revit which enhances the productivity for elaborations of views up to 50%. Functionalities at a glance - Substitution of Font Type; Read out of Coordinates; Create Views of Elements; Positioning of Elements; Automatic Dimensioning; Selective tagging; Hiding of categories not to be plotted; Altitude of Openings; Formwork area; Copy mounting parts; Assign the mark of the host.
SOFiSTiK 3D-PDF Export extends the functionalities of Autodesk Revit through the generation of standard PDF documents with embedded 3D graphics. The 3D-PDF files can be opened by any PDF reader that supports the PDF 1.6 standard, such as Adobe Reader 7.0 or later. SOFiSTiK 3D-PDF Export uses the geometric definition of the elements in order to create an equivalent representation of the model in U3D format. Descriptive information about the particular Revit objects is embedded.
