ENERCALC for Revit is a powerful add-in for Autodesk Revit that enables structural engineers to perform ENERCALC SEL calculations directly within the Revit environment. This integration eliminates the need for manual data transfer, import/export, or copy/paste between platforms. Engineers can select Revit elements, launch calculations, design structural components, and automatically update the Revit model with the results. The tool streamlines workflows, reduces manual effort, and minimizes the risk of errors by leveraging BIM data for calculations and documentation within a unified interface.
Key Features
Direct Integration with Revit ENERCALC SEL accessible as a real-time extension within Revit.
- Launch calculations directly from Revit elements.
- No import/export or copy/paste required.
Automatic Model Updates Design results are applied to the Revit model instantly.
- Update section geometries, design parameters, and reaction forces in real time.
- Maintain consistency between calculations and BIM documentation.
Load Linking Automatic transfer of reaction forces between related calculations.
- Easily manage load paths (e.g., beam-to-girder, girder-to-column).
- Reduces manual data entry and potential errors.
