Overview
Project Storm for Autodesk Revit Structure is a free* technology preview that provides cloud-based structural analysis to structural engineers as a part of the BIM process. With Project Storm, engineers and designers can extend design models from Revit Structure to the cloud for structural analysis from directly within Revit Structure.
Results can then be visualized and explored within Revit Structure and disruptions to workflows are minimized by performing analysis in the cloud as users continue to design.
Latest Update
The latest version of Project Storm for Revit Structure includes the following enhancements:
-
Define "Analysis Profile" before conducting analysis:
Users can now select "Analysis profile" before running structural analysis, and it can be defined as Draft, Normal or Fine. Selecting "Analysis Profile" has a direct impact on the analysis rate and results accuracy on walls and floors. -
Performance improvements:
With adjustments to the system infrastructure, performance improvements can be realized. -
UI is optimized:
To help guide the analysis process and to give progress integrations throughout, "current steps" indicators have been added to Project Storm to allow for information to be provided at each step of the analysis and results gathering process.
Availability
As this is the initial offering of this technology preview, to ensure the best experience for those participating, distribution is limited to: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States.
We hope to expand to other geographies in the future.
The technology preview will operate until April 15, 2012.
