AIM : Creating Conceptual mass in REVIT and Creation of Sinusoidal curve and a Parametric stadium using Dynamo

Introduction:

Revit is a one of Building Information Modelling software for architects, landscape architects, structural engineeers, mechanical, electrical and plummbing(MEP) engineers, designers and contractors. Revit supports a multidiscipline design process for collaborative design. it used to make a coceptual design & visualization of the building or a project. Its powerful tools lets us to use the intelligent model-based process to plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure.

The software was developed by Charles River Software, founded in 1997, renamed Revit technology corporation in 2000, and acquired by Autodesk in 2002. The software allows todesign a building and structure and its components in 3D, aannotate the model ith 2D drafting elements, and access building inforation from the building model's database.

Revit is 4D building infortion modelling capable with tools to plan and track variousstages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later maintenance and / or demolition.

Dynamo is an open source visual programming language for Revit, written by designers and construction professionals. Its a programminglanguage that allows you to type lines of code; while also creating an algorithm that consist of nodes.

Using dynamo work can be carried out with enhanced BIM capabiilities in Revit.Dynamo and Revit an together be utilized to model and analyze complex geometries, automate repetative processes,minimize human error and export data to exer and other file types.Dynamo can make the design process more efficient with an intuitive interface and many pre made scripting libraries availabe as well.

The user interface for dynamo is organized into five main areas, largest being the workspace where programms are processed and this user interface sections include

Main Menu
Toolbar
Library
Work Space
Execution Bar
The workspace is the place where designers develop visual programs but it is also the place where any elaborate geometry is previewed.

Conceptual mass of a building contains different types of parameters like level, floor area, floor perimeter and architect can generate early quanties takeoff from the mass. In Bim modelling services the conceptual mass of a building can be exported to to any other format for performing early energy analysis.

Question 1) Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve

Ans :

• goto revit view manage tab then open dynamo tool.
• next to create the points, sinusoidal curve and surface follow the below code blocks.

Question 2) Create a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo . Using the tools available in dynamo link the lines to appropriate model elements in Revit by choosing the wall types and wall parameters. Make use of the sliders to slide through the height of the wall and length of the wall.

Ans :

• goto revit view manage tab then open dynamo tool.
• next to create the points, walls and floor follow the below code blocks.

Question 3) Create an array of model elements in Revit. Use dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block.

Ans :

Question 4) Create a conceptual mass in Revit and develop a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and apply the concepts similar to used in parametric walkway modelling. Use triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column

Ans :

• open the conceptual mass folder and then open mass metric template.

Question 5) Use Dynamo to work on developing a Parametric Stadium. List your parameters and use the visual programming approach to complete the modelling, You can use the concepts discussed in parametric high rise tower in class for reference.

Ans :

• goto revit view manage tab then open dynamo tool.
• next to create the points, parametric high rise tower and surface follow the below code blocks.

Result :

• The above given questions are solved and the answers are uploaded above with the specified i,related images. and understood the concept of Creating Conceptual mass in REVIT and Creation of Sinusoidal curve and a Parametric stadium using Dynamo.
