• STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A BUILDING USING ROBOT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS :

• QUESTION : 1
• What are HVAC systems? Why are they essential in the modeling of buildings ?
• ANSWER :
• HVAC systems and they essential in the modeling of the buildings is given below :
• HVAC SYSTEMS :
• an HVAC system combines the process es of heating , cooling , and air ventilations using a thermostat and other devices . thus doing so enables the proper circulation of air inside the building . it also helps in modifying the building temprature according to the needs of the climate or season .
• basically , the HVAC system means the various systems and types used for moving air between different indoor and outdoor spaces . in additional to that , HVAC also offers heationg and cooling in both residential and commercial buildings .
• HVAC systems ensure the air quality of the building.from residental building like houses and appertment to commercial building like offces and hospitals , all use an HVAC systems .
• ESSENTIAL OF HVAC SYSTEM IN THE MODELLING OF BUILDINGS GIVEN BELOW :
• HVAC system control the overall climate in the building . they also make the proper adjustment whenever we experience changes in outdoor temprature
• having a comfortable offices climate increase the level of productivity and increase morale amongst the work and employees . having a proper HVAC installed is guaranteed to make your employess happy and in return giving better results .
• HVAC system is not only regulate the temprature inside the buildings , they also improve the quality of air . the qualiy of air pertains to humidity and a typical HVAC system will reduce the amount of humidity in the air .
• proper HVAC system are a worthy investment for any business automated which means yo no longer have to manually adjust the temprature settings . this makes your energy consumption more efficiet as it gets rid of energy wasted on improper settings .
• in research by environmental protection agency, poor air quality was the largest factor for environment related sickness. efficient HVAC system sove this problem . it circulates the air , regulates the temprature according to the weather , and removes harmfull particles of gases from the air .
• these features grently reduces the risk of allegries , lungs related problems , and seasonal flu .
• TYPES OF HVAC SYSTEM :
• 1. split HVAC systems
• A. Single split HVAC system
• B. Multi- split HVAC system
• 2. VRE or VRF HVAC system
• 3. CAV and VAC HVAC system

this is about HVAC system and and there essential of HVAC system in the modelling of building .

• QUESTION : 4
• Why do we need to assess buildings/analyze while modeling elements? Does design affect modeling in anyways?
• ANSWER :
• structure is one of the most major components for modelling the building . we can construct a model without proper structure . the structure formwork acts as a skeleton formwork to the building . all the loads are as a skeleton fromworks to the buildings . all the loads are considered under the structural part. structural analysis is essential for buildings a odel as to know how much maximum load , the building can bear and how long the model will withstand with that load . befour the constructions of a buildings we do not have all the components , so befour we construct the building model we have to analysis the model befour taking appropriate load values to calculate how much load the structure can bear .
• the dsign affects the model , so we have to place to place column at desired places so that they can bear maximum amount of load .
• building analyze helpes to calculation the loads and internal forces
• it also helps to cross check the engineering desing which can able to carry the loads .
• analyze can perform during design and pre construction of project or while testing of project .
• analyse can perform each and every element of building so that we get sure that structure can withstand the load .
• DOES DESIGN AFFECTS MODELING IN ANYWAYES ?
• YES , the structural design that affects the modeling . it will helps to design a better model an cover the issues with an exesting model and allows to incorporate the alternatives .

• QUESTION : 5
• From the structural model developed in week 6 and 7, export the complete analytical model to robot structural analysis.
  a. List your assumptions on what boundary conditions will be realistic for the analysis approachb.
• b.Use the design standards to decide what loads must be applied to floorings based on the type of structure decided
• c. List the load combinations and include them in the analysis model
• d. Analyze the building and report the following results
• i. Maximum Moment in each floor for all Load Combination
• ii. Maximum Displacement in each floor for all Load combinations
• iii. Lateral Displacement in building for all Lateral Load combinations
• e. After analysis, do you think you have a better approach or idea in modeling structural members?
• ANSWER :
• PROCEDURE :
• AIM :
• STRUCTURE DEVELOPED IN WEEK 6 AND 7 EXOPRT THE COPMLETE ANALYTICAL MODEL TO ROBOT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS :
• List your assumptions on what boundary conditions will be realistic for the analysis approachb.
• The visualization of the analytical model depends on the project templet , view templet , view parameter, and object styles .
• the structural analysis project templet contain two structural analytical plan view and 3D analytical view .
• the konwn forces or displacement may have some magnitude or it may be zero.
• for example we may know that there are location on our structure that have no external forces . this would be zero fource boundary condition .
• a displacement boundary condition that is zero is equivalant to the structure being held in place at that location .
• boundary condition are typically expressed in terms of applicable degree of freedom .
• a degree of freedom (dof )is simply a single direction that a point on a structure can move freely .
• in two dimensions (2D ), each free point on a structure has three differnet possible DOFs : one horizontal , one vertical and one rotational .
• .Use the design standards to decide what loads must be applied to floorings based on the type of structure decided
• we can apply the different type of load as per our requriments as shown below
• dead load
• wind load
• snow load
• earthquake load
• live load
• roofs load etc
• c. List the load combinations and include them in the analysis model
• for applying the load combinations then go to the analyze tab
• then click on load combination
• and give the load combination as shown below
• 1.0 DL + 1.5 L.L
• 1.0 DL+1.5 LL+0.9 WL
• IN OUR PROJECT WE CAN USE AUTOMATIC OPTION FOR LOAD COMINATION .
• d. Analyze the building and report the following results

• QUESTION : 6

• What is energy analysis and why do we need to consider it while modeling in Revit?

  How does the factor of sustainability improve the quality of your design?

• ANSWER :
• Energy alalysis is the triaditional method of assessing the way energy is used in an operation involving the physical and chemical processing of material and transfer and conversion of energy . it is a thermodynamic tool to investigate a system is performnance and canbe used to evaluate energy use and energy efficiency. thermodynamic - based indicators in sustainablity are novel and the concept is slowly growing within he scientific community.
• to perform whole building energy simulation for your revit modeles, use energy analysis for autodesk revit . this add in connercts the design power of revit to the analysis power of autodesk green building studio .
• FACTOR OF SUSTAINABILITY :
• it includes factoes like energy efficiently , external benifits of the building , material efficiently and so on helps to sustain the building and also helps to improve the desing and also makes the building stronger .
• it seeks to reduce the negative impact on the environment and health comfort of building occupats, therby improving building performance . the basis objective of sustainablity are to reduce consumption of non renuwable resources , minimize waste and create a helthy environment .

This is all about energy analysis and its needs while considering the modeling in revit . and also explain how factor of sustainablity improve the quality of our design .
