Structural analysis of a buidling using Robot Structural Analysis
1) HVAC systems :-
* Heating ventilation and air conditioning.
* It is a tecnology of indor environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.
* Important part of structure.
Essential in the modeling of buildings :-
* Controlling the overall climate of the buildings.
* It enhances the productivity.
* It improves the air quality.
* Achieving the energy efficiency.
2)
Aim :-
Based on the building designed use the same Revit file to design a HVAC system for each floor to cover the topics included in the class.
a. Typical HVAC unit includes Distribution center
b. Collector
c. Ducts
d. Blower
Based on the layout choose appropriate ducts and elevation using property browser and assign the components to appropriate groups to complete modeling of the HVAC unit
Procedure :-
* I can open the mechanical template.
* Then linked before completion structural project to this template.
* Goto system tab, select the air terminal placed on the plan.
* In the system tab click on the mechanical equipment then goto load family select any air handeling unit placed on the plan.
* Press control select all the mechanical equipment then click on duct display the dialog box select any connector.
* Then select generate layout option.
* In this generate layout it shows various layouts.choose suitable layout.
* Then click on finish.
Result :-
Complete the based on the building designed use the same Revit file to design a HVAC system for each floor to cover the topics included in the class.
a. Typical HVAC unit includes Distribution center
b. Collector
c. Ducts
d. Blower
Based on the layout choose appropriate ducts and elevation using property browser and assign the components to appropriate groups to complete modeling of the HVAC unit.
3)
Aim :-
Use the add-ins tab to load plug-ins for robot structural analysis to your Revit software.
Procedure :-
* Open the revit soffware.
* In the above corner shows shopping symbol.
* Click on that symbol it is directly goto web browser.
* That web browser page shows search option.
* In that search tab we can search robot structural analysis toolkit then shows different versions suitable version select then download and install.
Result :-
Complete to Use the add-ins tab to load plug-ins for robot structural analysis to your Revit software.
4) Need to assess buildings/analyze while modeling elements :-
* It helps to calculating loads and inernal forces.
* It helps to cross check the engineering designs.
* Can perform during design.
* Can analyse each and individual elements.
Yes,design affect modeling in anyways.
5)
Aim :-
Export the complete analytical model to robot structural analysis.
a. List your assumptions on what boundary conditions will be realistic for the analysis approach
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 Combinations
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.
Procedure :-
* Open a revit software and create new structural template then click ok.
* After open an architectural template we can draw the grids.
* Next we can insert the levels after the rename the levels.
* First we can goto foundation level insert the isolated footings.
* Next goto ground floor level insert the columns.
* These columns are insert all floor levels.
* Next to insert the beams to all floor levels.
* Goto analyze tab, Click on loads option then choose line load place the loads on the beams.
* After placed line load then click on area load placed on beams then click finish.
* If loads are apply or not cross check in 3D view.
* Next click on load cases option.
* It display dialog box it shows different loads all the load will be delete then add which loads apply this project.
* Next click on load combination option it display dialog box.
* In the load combination box enter the name.
* In the dialog box below edit selected formula add the loads and modify the factors automatically creates the formula.
* In the property browser, goto 3D views click on analytical model.
* Next click on boundary option, click on point load apply the all columns.
* Goto Analyze tab, drop down the robot strctural analysis option click on robot structural analysis link.
* The model export into robot structural analysis.
* Open robot structural analysis.
* In case it cannot clearly visible display dialog box click on releases option then apply click on ok.
* Goto edit option click on select all.
* Goto loads then click on load defination then click apply.
* Goto analysis tab, Click on calculation it start the analysis.
* After complete the analysis goto result tab, click on the diagrams for the members.
* It display the dialog box click on the reactions then click on the all the moments finally click apply.
* In case we want force click on forces.
* Finally it shows the forces and moment values.
(note :- robot structural analysis software not supported in my laptop.Already informed to skill lync experts. She said that "write procedure only".)

6) Energy analysis and need of consider it while modeling in Revit :-
* It is the traditional method of assessing the way the energy is used in an operation involving the physical or chemical processing of materials and the transfer and conversion of energy.
Four general principles :-
* Calculating heat loss and gain.
* Determaining the fuel requirements.
* Evaluating the costs.
factor of sustainability improve the quality of your design :-
* Low energy,
* Impact of climate change,
* Resource consumption,
* Quality and durability of price,
* Non toxic material.
