Revit for Structural Design Training Course

Introduction:

Revit is one of the most widely used Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools in the construction industry, enabling structural engineers to design and analyze structures efficiently while improving collaboration with other disciplines. This 5-day course is designed to provide structural engineers and designers with the essential skills to use Revit for creating accurate and detailed structural models. Participants will learn how to use Revit’s features for structural design, analysis, and documentation, enhancing their productivity and ensuring the delivery of high-quality projects.

Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Understand the basic principles of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its application in structural design.
  2. Learn how to navigate the Revit interface and workspaces.
  3. Be able to create structural elements such as beams, columns, foundations, and reinforcement in Revit.
  4. Understand how to integrate structural components with other disciplines using Revit.
  5. Learn to generate detailed structural drawings, schedules, and reports from the Revit model.
  6. Master advanced features for analyzing and optimizing structural designs within Revit.
  7. Understand how to collaborate with other project stakeholders through Revit’s cloud-based tools.
