Using the Autodesk Revit suite (Autodesk Revit Architecture / Autodesk Revit Structure - revit exchange) with GRAITEC solutions, you will achieve a continuous CAD / Design process, from architectural design to the final construction drawings.

A fluid design process using BIM technology

With more than 20 years experience in structural analysis and design, GRAITEC has a complete suite of analysis and design software, which allows construction engineers to rapidly and efficiently deliver their projects.

To continue to provide a fluid design process, GRAITEC provides full bi-directional integration (revit exchange) with Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit Structure.

This integration allows Revit users to rapidly get an optimised design of their projects and to produce all fabrication drawings. This integration also reduces the risk of potential errors when changes occur.

Interface with Autodesk Revit Structure and Autodesk Revit Architecture is made possible because GRAITEC products are fully BIM oriented. GRAITEC implemented its BIM technology so each real object has a virtual counterpart with accurate associated properties and behavior. Using BIM, GRAITEC provides an optimal solution for accelerated creation of the structural analysis model and automatic creation of drawings, bill of materials and lists. This BIM technology increases general productivity and reduces errors during the entire design to construction process.

Two licenses of the GRAITEC plug-in are available: a Standard license allowing to synchronise Revit data with GRAITEC products and a Professional one extending it to data exchange with standard file formats.

Structural Analysis integrated from the design stage!

Import the 3D model from Autodesk Revit Structure (or Autodesk Revit Architecture) to the desired Graitec Structural Analysis product (see below for more details). Then, run a structural analysis and design process to optimise your structure, and synchronise back the changes in your Revit Structure model! The following elements are implemented:

Structural elements (columns, beams, wall, slabs) Custom families containing an analytical model Supports Loads	Click here to review detailed Objects Matching.

All GRAITEC structural analysis software solutions are compatible
	Advance Design was specifically developed for industry professionals that require a superior solution for the structural analysis and design of Reinforced Concrete, Steel and Timber structures. Advance Design features include easy modelling, a powerful FEM analysis engine, top-level design wizards, automated post-processing of results and automated reports.
	SuperSTRESS is a UK leading structural analysis program. New users can immediately become familiar with and enjoy the powerful, easy-to-use graphical interface and intuitive input methods. Accurate modelling of highly complex structures can be carried out in the minimum of time with flexible tabular and graphical output available directly to Word and / Excel. SuperSTRESS is available for Eurocodes and British codes.

From design to production with the GRAITEC Advance suite!

The Graitec Advance suite consists of Advance Design, Advance Steel and Advance Concrete. This global concept allows users to deal with structural 3D modeling, structural design and detailing without having to re-input data.

	Steel Detailing
	Import the 3D model from Revit to Advance Steel, add joints, and create your general arrangement drawings, workshop drawings and NC files!
	Concrete Detailing
	Import the 3D model from Revit to Advance Concrete and use its advanced rebar features for automating the creation of all your reinforcement drawings.

How does it work?

First, make sure you have already installed Autodesk Revit Architecture or Autodesk Revit Structure. Then download the GRAITEC plug-in from this webpage and follow the installation steps. In Revit, 4 menu options will be available:
1. External Tools / GRAITEC Export     2. External Tools / GRAITEC Synchronise     3. External Tools / GRAITEC Import     4. External Tools / GTC settings…
	The integration is based on the GRAITEC BIM technology. With this BIM approach, all the models created with GRAITEC software can be imported, exported and synchronised, with no data loss and no need to re-input data. For more information, see GRAITEC BIM info page.

Examples
