Analyse tool bar in revit software has wide range of uses,It has boundary conditions for analytical model,It has loads and load case adjustments and also support systems.
It also helps us to verify analytical and physical model for consistency

12th ans)

Links that support Revit to link models are:
• Link Revit: Links one revit model to the other or the current revit project.
• Link IFC: Links an IFC file to the current project for the information that is required for additional design work. • Link CAD: Links a CAD file to the present revit project.
• Link Topography: It links the existing topography to the present revit model.
• DWF Markup:It links the marked-up DWF files into the present revit project so that we can see mark-ups in the corresponding sheets. • Point Cloud: It links a point cloud file to the current revit project.
• Coordination Model:It links up a NWD or NWC file to extract content for the revit model. • Link PDF: It allows us to link the PDF file to the cu·rrent project.
• Link Image : It allows us to link an image for the progressing revit model.
• Manage links: It manages the links such as CAD, mark-up the DWF files and all the BIM works that are related to the present file.
