Problem 11

• Aim :- To know the use of analyze toolbar and to know, how it is beneficial for design and modelling

• It contains tool to adjust the analytical model, check for consistency, reseat the model and check member supports in this tab.
• The toolbar is used to create the saperators.
• We can add the boundry conditions and types of loads.
• We can edit the load cases.
• We can add the load combinations.
• Many types of reports such as Heating and cooling load reports, panel reports etc are prepared.
• Distance and time of travel from one end to another end can be calculated.
• We can understand, how sustainable and energy efficient the building is.
• It also helps to perform energy optimisation and energy analysis.
• We can achieve the progress of project together from all disciplines.

Problem 12

• Aim :- To know links that revit supports to be linked to the model

• In insert tab, we will get the links
• Link Revit – It allows to link another revit model to the current model
• Link IFC – It allows to link IFC File as a reference, when we want to perform additional design work in revit.
• Link CAD – It allows to link the CAD file. To create 3D using rivet, we can link the cad file having 2D drawing
• Link Topography – It allows to link the existing topography to the current model

Problem 13

• Aim :- To know the needs of collaborate tab in the revit and how it supports the modelling and its efficiency

• It is one of the feature, which helps the team members to work on a single model simultaneously.
• We do not have wait for one model to be completed to start the model of the next discipline.
• e.g. : If a mechanical and structural engineers wants to in a model simultaneously, the collaborate option creates a central file and we will have the facility to create the multiple files that enables collaboration.
• We can link multiple revit models together, allowing team members to work in context.
• When collaboration needs to occur among users who are not in same geographic location, use revit server or Revit Cloud Work-Shairing.
• The efficiency of the modelling will be high as the work can be finish faster.
