OG9918 - Extended Structural Workflow Integ

between Plant-Revit-Robot and Advance Stee

Marc BreugelmansAEC-Technical Specialist


2/53

In this class we will explore the extended structural steel workflow be

Autodesk solutions. Create, exchange and optimize a steel structure

of these solutions in an integrated workflow. Design and optimize yo

without the need to recreate it, using the unique capabilities of the su

In this demo we will cover the interoperability between the solutions

a steel structure in Plant 3D and import the structure into Revit Struc

exchange the structure to Robot Structural Analysis for steel optimiz

the structure, drawings and results in Revit Structure. Afterwards weoptimized steel structure to Autodesk Advance Steel for Structural D

creation of shop drawings.

Navisworks or BIM360 Glue will be used to review the project and p

detection. At the end we will reference the detailed structure back in

complete the workflow.

Class summary


3/53

At the end of this class, you will be able to:

Learning objective 1

Produce early stage structural models in Plant3D


Optimize and elaborate the structural model in different environm

Learning objective 3 Explore the extended interoperability between different Autodesk


Discover the possibilities of the different Autodesk solutions

Key learning objectives


4/53

Type of project: self bearing steel silo

Combination of steel structure, piping and mechanical

Intro: Steel Silo Design


5/53

Actual Workflow:

Drawings created in 2D Autocad

Structural Analysis is done by external partner

Mechanical equipment created in Inventor

Sheet metal design created in Inventor

Coordination done by using 2D drawings

Customer Case


6/53

Actual Workflow: Points of attention

Decreased project times

Projects become more complex

Coordination with 2D drawings fails, more construction er

Problems during execution generate higher costs

Less profit

Problems
