Autodesk Revit Structure 2013

Autodesk Revit software provides structural engineers and designers with the tools to more accurately design and build efficient building structures. Built to support Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit helps you use intelligent models to gain project insight through simulation and analysis and predict performance prior to construction. Document designs more accurately using coordinated and consistent information inherent in the intelligent models.
Revit Server Enhancements
Revit Server enhancements give you more control over managing central Revit models. Local accelerators can now connect to multiple hosts, allowing you to create a distributed Revit Server network. Autodesk Vault Collaboration AEC workflow has also been improved.
Revit features interoperability enhancements.

Interoperability Enhancements
Revit offers the ability to import and export drawings to and from Bentley Microstation V7 and V8 file format, as well as improved export to DWF™ and DWG™ formats. This enables more dependable and configurable workflow and deliverables.
Revit features Industry Foundation Class (IFC) enhancements.


Enhanced Industry Foundation Class (IFC) Support
BuildingSMART International Industry Foundation Class (IFC) version 2x3 is now certified for Revit. With the certification, Revit complies with global industry standards, including GSA standards. Open source Revit IFC exporter has been enhanced to support emerging standards. You can propose changes to the IFC export to support regional requirements—this allows you to share information more effectively with third-party applications to support design workflows.

Revit Exchange App Store
The Revit Exchange App Store is a web platform that allows you to easily gain access to add-ins and other content in the Revit platform.
Revit features dimension enhancements

Dimension Enhancements
Revit offers enhancements to dimensioning capabilities. A new diameter dimension tool enables an individual segment in a multi-segment dimension chain to be selected and deleted. In addition, dimension instances can now display the segment values, equality text, or the equality formula string.
Revit features Autodesk 360 integration.

Autodesk 360 Integration
Revit makes it easier for Autodesk Subscription customers to gain access to integrated Autodesk 360 features, including rendering and energy analysis. Send your designs to the cloud for faster, higher quality rendering and analysis without disrupting your workflow.
Revit Structure software features enhancements to the analytical model.

Enhanced Analytical Model
Enhancements to the analytical model allow for direct manipulation of floor and foundation slabs providing greater design flexibility. A new Analytical Link Element has been added to accelerate structural analysis by connecting offset columns or beams.
Revit Structure software offers improved detailing with Area & Path Reinforcements.

Improved Detailing with Area and Path Reinforcement
In Autodesk Revit and Revit Structure software, Area and Path Reinforcement have been updated. It is now able to host structural rebar, much like the way that beam systems and trusses host structural framing.
Revit structural engineering software features improved snapping to fillets and hooks.

Improved Snapping-To Fillets and Hooks
This feature provides references on a stirrup/tie rebar fillet and hook that provide standard bars an additional reference for rebar joins. This enables the bar to update correctly based on any calculated change, and helps keep designs coordinated and accurate.
Revit Structure software offers enhanced reinforcement with structural wire fabric

Reinforcement with Structural Wire Fabric
This feature allows you to add structural wire fabric to concrete elements. Structural fabric reinforcement can be hosted in structural floors, foundation slabs, and structural walls to support project needs.
Revit structural engineering software offers enhanced building assemblies features.

Support Creation of Shop Drawing for Building Assemblies
Enhancements have been made to building assemblies, making it easier to define and manage the creation of shop drawings. Assembly Views can now be placed on regular, non-assembly sheets and can host regular views, helping to connect design to detailing.
Revit structural engineering software offers cloud structural analysis.

Autodesk 360 Structural Analysis
Perform static analysis for various buildings from the cloud. Easily calculate different variants of the same model and use analysis results to inform design decisions earlier in the process with Autodesk 360 structural analysis available on Autodesk Subscription.

Analytical Model
Tools in Autodesk Revit and Revit Structure can help you create and manage the structural analytical model, including control over the analytical model and consistency with the structural physical model. Enhanced Analytical Model tools are:
- Control of visibility/graphics
- The inclusion of analytical parameters in analytical model elements
- The addition of a surface to floor, slab, and wall analytical models
- The addition of the “enable analytical model” parameter to physical model elements
- Easier identification of linear analytical model end segments
- Full edit mode for analytical adjustments
- Model adjustment features that allow for editing via nodes and direct manipulation widgets
- The ability to adjust linear analytical models at each end with projection and hosting behaviors
- Auto-detection for the preservation of physical element joins and attachments
