Autodesk Labs Project Structure Generator.

 

The Autodesk Labs have released a very interesting extension for both Revit Architecture and Structure called Project Structure Generator. This technology preview is designed to provide engineering teams with a link  between early massing models and physical objects created in conceptual design such as columns, beams, walls and slabs.

What does Project Structure Generator do?

Project Structure Generator for Autodesk Revit Structure and Autodesk Revit Architecture is a technology preview that provides a connection between massing models and objects created during conceptual design. Project Structural Generator enables structural engineers and architects to:

• Automatically create and visualize a physical model of the structure with mass objects
• Generate variants of the physical and analytical model with structural systems based on the massing model.
• Predict volume and weight of materials used.
• Extend model to Revit Structure or Revit Architecture.
• Extend massing model to structural analysis with Project Storm a cloud based technology preview on Autodesk Labs that allows static analysis to be performed or to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software.

 Please see the link below for a overview of  Project Structure Generator.
