Calculate Displacements via Revit and Dynamo

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project where I want to calculate displacements in Revit and use these values in Dynamo to modify the building model accordingly.

To start simple, I created a script that generates four walls, a foundation, and a slab. Now, I want to calculate the displacements of the slab, and even just achieving this would be a helpful first step for me.

Does anyone have experience or advice on how to approach this? Specifically:

  1. Can Revit natively calculate displacements, or is it better to use an external analysis tool?
  2. How do I retrieve displacement values into Dynamo?
  3. Are there any specific workflows or packages in Dynamo that can help me on deflection values?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
