SkyCiv Plugin

Introduction

When it comes to structural analysis and design, Autodesk® Revit® is a widely-used software that offers great capabilities. However, to fully leverage its potential, integrating it with a powerful analysis and design platform like SkyCiv becomes essential. This is where the SkyCiv Plugin comes in – a seamless integration between Revit and SkyCiv, allowing users to effortlessly transfer their analytical models and utilize SkyCiv's extensive range of analysis and design functionalities.

Effortless Setup and Configuration

Getting started with the SkyCiv Plugin is a breeze. After installation, the first step involves updating the details in the Settings Dialog. If you don't have a SkyCiv Account, simply sign up for one on their website. Once you've signed up, you can acquire your user API Username and API Key by visiting the designated page. Enter these credentials in the Settings Dialog, and you're ready to go.

Seamless Model Transfer and Analysis

Once your model is prepared in Revit, the SkyCiv Plugin enables you to effortlessly export it to the Structural 3D module of SkyCiv. This transfer includes all the essential components of your model, such as nodes, elements, sections, materials, loads, load combinations, and supports. The export process ensures that your model seamlessly transitions to SkyCiv's powerful analysis platform.

With the SkyCiv Plugin, you don't need to leave the Revit environment to perform structural analysis. You can initiate the analysis within Revit by selecting the "Run Analysis" option and choosing your preferred analysis method. The plugin efficiently transports your model to SkyCiv's Structural 3D platform for analysis. Once the analysis is complete, you can conveniently view the results, including reactions, displacements, moments, and various other parameters, in a tabular format directly within the Revit environment.

Enhanced Visualization and Design Capabilities

The SkyCiv Plugin goes a step further by allowing the export of Plate Elements, such as slabs, floors, and walls. These elements are seamlessly displayed in graphical format as colored contours on the meshed diagram of your Revit analytical model. This enhanced visualization provides a more comprehensive understanding of the analysis results, aiding in better decision-making.

For further evaluation and verification, the plugin enables you to download the analysis results in Excel format. This flexibility allows you to delve deeper into the analysis and collaborate with colleagues or clients using the exported data.

Moreover, once the analysis is complete, the SkyCiv Plugin empowers users to perform design checks against specific country codes. This feature ensures compliance with relevant design standards, making it easier to meet regulatory requirements.

Similar to the analysis results, the design results can be viewed either in tabular format or through enhanced visualization directly within the Revit environment. This allows for quick and efficient evaluation of the design and seamless integration with your ongoing project.

A One-Stop Solution

The SkyCiv Plugin serves as a one-stop solution for all your structural analysis and design needs within Revit. With its easy-to-use functionalities and integration with SkyCiv's powerful analysis and design capabilities, users no longer need to rely on third-party analysis software. This seamless integration streamlines the workflow, saving valuable time and effort.

Best of all, the SkyCiv Plugin is available as a free download, assuming you already have a SkyCiv account. This accessibility allows users to experience the power of SkyCiv's analysis and design capabilities without any financial barriers.

Conclusion

The SkyCiv Plugin brings together the best of both worlds – Autodesk Revit's robust modeling capabilities and SkyCiv's powerful analysis and design functionalities. By seamlessly integrating these platforms, the plugin enables users to unlock the full potential of their structural projects. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey in structural engineering, the SkyCiv Plugin is a must-try tool that will undoubtedly enhance your productivity and efficiency.
