Industry Trends
Business environment is changing
  • Building information modeling (BIM)
  • Industry process change toward integrated project delivery
  • Extending structural design to fabrication
4
Business Challenges
Owners, CEOs, and principals
  • Decrease operating costs and liability issues
  • Develop strong relationships with clients
  • Attract and retain competent professionals
5
Business Challenges
Project managers and structural engineers
  • Time-consuming efforts coordinating analysis and documentation


  • Limited manual coordination with architects
  • Developing multiple structural analysis models for a single project
6
Business Challenges
Structural drafters and technicians
  • Time-consuming repetitive, manual drafting tasks
  • Documentation workflow is inaccurate and not coordinated


  • Difficulty understanding complex engineering designs
7
Product Solution
Building information modeling
  • BIM is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and operation.
    • Create coordinated, digital
      design information and documentation.
    • Predict performance, appearance and cost.
    • Deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact.

Problem
Are you as efficient as you want to be?
  • Software applications currently used are not interoperable.


  • Drafters use separate software for construction documentation.


  • Often engineers build multiple 3D models for analysis and design.
11
Solution
Streamline your tasks with tools designed for you
  • One integrated model for analysis, design, and documentation.


  • Drafting tasks such as creating sections, elevations, and annotations are automated.


  • Links with multiple third-party structural analysis and design applications.

Customer Success Story
Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer, and Associates, Inc.
  • “Revit Structure is a terrific structural modeling and documentation system. We substantially completed a project in three days. It would have taken us three weeks with our previous software.”
    •  —Paul Andersen
      Senior Structural Engineering Technician, GASAI
13
Problem
Are your drawings as accurate as they should be?
  • Discrepancies exist between critical information within
    structural  documents.


  • Coordination between structural analysis and design results and construction documents is limited.


  • Errors in documents can produce RFIs that may be costly when found late in the process.




14
Solution
Improve quality and accuracy of your drawings
  • Change anything, anywhere,
    and Revit Structure coordinates
    that change everywhere.


  • Schedules and material
    takeoffs are created and
    updated automatically.


  • Update structural documents directly by importing changes made during analysis and design.
15
Customer Success Story
SCA Consulting Engineers
  • “In the short time we have been
    using Revit Structure, we have
    realized better coordination
    and quality within our drawings,
    which has directly translated to
    higher profitability and a
    competitive advantage.”
    • —Gregg Kite
      Director of Production, SCA Consulting Engineers
16
Problem
Is your design always coordinated with the project team?
  • Last-minute changes are not always incorporated on time.


  • Limited coordination with extended project team, such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers.


  • Project collaboration is limited to visual coordination.


17
Solution
Enhance collaborative efforts and project coordination
  • Readily accommodate design changes from architect or owner, especially late in the process.


  • Easily develop multiple design options for a single project.


  • Increase accuracy and efficiency with automatic coordination tools and interference checks in Revit® Architecture and
    Revit® MEP software.
