Introduction to REVIT concepts

1. Aim: To create the new project and name the project in the revit soft ware.

• The rivet soft ware is used to develop and design the building model.
• Rivet offers a visual of the 3d model of the building and also add muiltiple detail elements to the project to make it realistic as much as possible.
• In the rivet the design concept and the design standards plays much more important and a key role for the design of the building model.

Procedure:

• Click on the rivet soft ware icon in the PC and open the rivet software.
• Then the screen is displayed with the options such as 'OPEN' and 'NEW' and with the icons of the sample files of the rivet.

11. Analyze :

• Analayze option in the rivet software is used to analyze the structure when the load is applied on the model.
• The analyze option consists of boundary conditions and the loading conditions to be applied for the model.The analyze option contains various categories of families like schedules,energy optimisation,Electrical analysis etc.
• The analyzing of the model states the load application and it is helpful to redesign the structure with in the safety limits etc.
• The boundry condition states the extreme end conditions of the model and the load parameters enables the change of the model and load combinations states the total amount of load acting on a particular section of the model.
• The Analyze option is more efficient in the model formtion in rivet software.
• The analyze window of therevit software is shown below.

12. Rivet links:

• The tool insert states the link of rivet file and other options to link the file from cad, The rivet file is linked to work on a two different modules like structural and electrical for the same model.
• The rivet links helps to work on a two relative individual models of a campus which wil help to coordinate between te two models.
• The rivet file is copied and renamed it and it is linked to the
• The auto cad file is linked to rivet,when the cad file is in 2d mode then the file is linked to rivet to change the model in to 3d and as well as the design and analysis of the model. The file is linked in such a way that the changes applied in the auto cad file is automatically reflected in the rivet file also.
• There is another option called manage link which will help to work on a two different models i.e when the two models like structural and electrical model files are linked then we can load or unload the link to view the models.When the electrical file is linked to the structural model then loading the electrical link will execute the electrical model and unloading will degrede the electrical model.

13.Colabrate tab:

• Collabrate tab in the rivet states the work sharing of a particular project.It helps to divide the work of a model.
• Using the collabrate tab the model is worked out by the multiple engineers like structural,Architectural,MEP from the various places.It helps to work on a model from the various geographical places.
• While working in collabrate tab the cetral file is created for the access of the model by the other designers from the various places.Every one should create each individual central model for the easy access of the mode.
