Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a project involving adaptive structural adjustments in digital building models, and I’m looking for help, ideas, or general insights from this amazing community.
The goal of my project is to develop an application that can adapt the structural components of a building model based on static analysis results. The workflow I envision involves using Revit (2024/2025) and Dynamo to create a parametric building model, exporting this model to a structural analysis software (e.g., Robot Structural Analysis or Sofistik), and then importing the analysis results back into Dynamo for structural adjustments. This is just a proposed approach, and I am open to any alternative suggestions that could provide a simpler or more efficient solution.
The challenge I’m facing is how to translate the static analysis results into actionable structural adjustments. For instance, the analysis might indicate the need for thicker dimensions, additional supports, or other modifications to the structural system. I’m unsure how to efficiently integrate these adjustments into the workflow and would love some advice on this aspect.
Additionally, I’ve found several Dynamo packages that seem relevant (e.g., Structural Analysis packages or geometry manipulation tools), but I’m unsure which ones would be most effective for this specific task.
To summarize my questions:
How can the results of a static analysis (e.g., stress, displacement, or load distribution) be effectively used to drive structural adjustments in Dynamo and Revit?
Are there specific workflows, tools, or Dynamo packages that you would recommend for this type of project?
Any tips, examples, or experiences related to similar projects would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for any insights or suggestions. Your help will be invaluable in moving this project forward!
