interaction between RISA and Revit

interaction between RISA and Revit

(OP)
Is there anyone out there that has any experience with linking a Revit model into RISA 3D.  I have a fairly large model I am going to try and link into RISA 3D, and wanted to know if there are any tips/tricks I should be aware of.  Thank you.

RE: interaction between RISA and Revit

Actually RISA has two free training videos for the use of their link available from their website. Check out the following URL:

http://www.risa.com/partners/prt_revit.html.

Under "Training" you can watch the videos.  The first video is an overview of the link.  The second video shows some trouble-shooting tips for most of the common issues that come up.  

 

RE: interaction between RISA and Revit

We have done this quite a bit.  The real time waster is trying to modify your beam/column/gridline locations in Risa.  I usually get the model pretty close to perfect, then export to RISA, and see where the problems are (columns not on gridlines, beams not attached, etc).  Then I go back to Revit, fix the problems and do a fresh export to Risa.  I feel more comfortable modeling my loads, diaphragms, and other structural stuff in RISA.  I have successfully done the bidirectional link, but usually at some point in the project I give it up.  Because you want to keep your Revit model detailed/perfect and your Risa model can be approximate and simple.

We have also had good success with linking Revit and Risa Floor.

I've been referring to building projects.  I had great problems exporting my Concrete wastewater treatment facility REVIT file to Risa 3d for plate FEA. At the time they were trying to improve that functionality.
