Some structural configurations are not suitable for direct integration with analysis and
design software. Adaptive adjustment is required before a structural model is input into
the analysis and design software. For this reason, the geometry of the structural member
analytical model may also be adjusted in relation to those elements to which it joins.
Click a node to reveal a 3D control to move the model end in the local coordinate
system.
Click a node to reveal its 2D controls. Then drag the node as needed.
Edges
You can also adjust the model shape using the Move tool or using an edge as a shape
handle.
Moving the analytical model
To move the analytical model, select the whole model and drag it as needed. You can
also use theMove tool.
Move and adjust analytical nodes and edges by snapping them onto analytical model
geometry, nodes, grids and reference planes.
Note: If a model is manually adjusted, its Analytical Alignment parameters will specify
Manually Adjusted.
To exit the analytical edit mode without saving changes, click Analyze tab Edit
Analytical Model panel Cancel.
To exit the analytical edit mode and save changes to the analytical model, click Analyze
tab Edit Analytical Model panel Finish.

You may need to adjust the analytical wall element in relation to other analytical
elements before export to analysis and design software. Use the Wall Adjustment tool to
adjust the analytical wall to:
Another analytical wall
Analytical column
Analytical beam
Analytical node of an analytical floor or an analytical foundation slab.
3. Select an end edge of the analytical wall to adjust as the source analytical
element. You can select only wall vertical end edges as the source analytical
element.
4. Select the target analytical element. Elements that you can select as target
analytical elements are highlighted when you place the mouse cursor over them.
5. Click Select panel Modify to accept changes and finish the Wall Adjustment
tool. You are still in the Analytical Edit mode. You can continue adjusting analytical
elements.
6. Click (Finish Edit Mode) to save changes and exit the Analytical Edit mode.
To exit the Analytical Edit mode without saving changes, click Cancel.
To adjust the analytical wall so its end edge extends to the surface of another
analytical wall, select the top edge of the other wall as the target element.
Adjusting the analytical wall to a column
To adjust the analytical wall so its end edge extends to the beam, select the
analytical beam as the target element.

In this example, you join three walls. One wall end extends a small amount from the join.
Adjust the model so that all three analytical models end at the intersection.
3. Select the vertical member of the wall analytical model at the end of the wall
(filled circle at end) as the source analytical model.
4. Select the lower wall analytical model as the target analytical model. The wall
analytical model adjusts as shown.
5. To reset the analytical model of the wall, click Analyze tab Analytical Model
Tools panel Analytical Reset, and select the analytical model of the wall.

The presence of openings in a surface analytical model can make it overly complicated
for analysis. However, you can simplify the analytical model by specifying which
openings should be included in it.
2. Edit Analytical Model panel Openings to reveal check boxes for each
opening.
3. Clear the check box to exclude the opening from the analytical model. The
opening boundary fills with the surface color.
Openings with their check boxes selected are included in the analytical surface.

The Structural Analysis and Code Checking Toolkit for Autodesk Revit software is a
suite of tools that supports the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process and allows
structural engineers to analyze and check your structure from within
the Revit environment.
Using this toolkit structural designers and engineers can optimize their workflows in the
cloud and on the desktop by using the analytical model built in Autodesk Revit software
to conduct cloud-based structural analysis with access to Autodesk 360 services, and by
extending the Revit model to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis
Professional software, or supported third party analysis solutions. Once complete,
analysis results can be easily stored and explored in the Revit environment.
Using the toolkit, structural engineers can also verify and design structural elements
according to local building codes and regulations which can be easily and quickly
implemented by using the Code Checking framework.
Before using the Structural Analysis and Code Checking Toolkit for Autodesk Revit,
check that your installation meets all the necessary requirements for the tools that you
want to use.

After you click Analyze tab Structural Analysis panel Analyze in Cloud, the
application starts preparing a model for structural analysis. It extracts the analytical
model from the project, checks if the analytical model has already been uploaded to the
cloud, verifies and then uploads the model. Verification of the model before it is uploaded
checks if it is correct from the viewpoint of structural analysis. In this way it ensures that
the model being analyzed is correct and the analysis results are reliable. It also prevents
uploading models with errors to the website; if errors are detected, the analysis is
disabled. You need to fix them to allow the analysis to proceed.

Although the analytical model will be verified automatically before the analysis is
performed, it is good practice to run member support and consistency checks manually
before sending the model to Structural Analysis for Autodesk Revit (see Verifying the
Analytical Model).
Analysis is performed for the analytical model uploaded to the cloud. You can analyze a
whole analytical model or a part of it. Note that for a selected part of a structure,
supports are created automatically in places where the model is cut off from the project.
For a given project (*.rvt file) you can define several models and submit them for
analysis. For each model you can run several analyses. Results are calculated for each
analysis.
Use this procedure to perform the analysis of an analytical model using Structural
Analysis for Autodesk Revit:
Note: To use Structural Analysis for Autodesk Revit, you need to sign in to your
Autodesk account or create a new account clicking "Need an Autodesk ID?" link.
3. In the Analyze in Cloud dialog specify the desired values for Model, Analysis
name and Report name.
Note: Each analysis for a given model needs to have a different name.
8. When the balloon message indicates that the analysis is complete, click the
message to view the analysis report. If you want view the report at a later time,
click (Structural Analysis for Revit) on the system taskbar, and then
click Completed.

corner of the screen, on the system taskbar. Position the cursor on this icon or left-click it
to display additional information about submitted analyses (see types of notifications
below).
Types of notifications
Balloons display after the analysis is performed to inform about its status:
completed or failed. Click the balloon to open an analysis report or error report.

2. Type 2: There is a zero value element on the diagonal of inverted stiffness matrix.
3. Type 3: Some values of the stiffness matrix element are very disproportional.
The first, second and sometimes the third type of the instability are caused by
mechanical instability of a structure, for example a part of the structure is a mechanism
or the structure support parameters (number, type and positions of supports) are not
sufficient. The third type can also occur because of large differences in dimensions of
section profiles of some elements.
