With SI Xchange™ for Revit® Structure, buildings modeled in Revit Structure can now be easily exported to STAAD.Pro® for analysis and design.
Member sizes in STAAD.Pro can then be sent back to Revit Structure. This two-way export from Revit Structure to STAAD.Pro is our second step towards
a seamless integration between world-class modeling and analysis tools. Future releases of SI Xchange will continue to enhance our integration by
providing round-trip capabilities to fully demonstrate Structural Integrators’ promise of Efficiency Through Integration.
Features
Export capabilities - SI Xchange sends structural Revit elements (beams, columns and braces), as well as boundary conditions, to STAAD.Pro.
Both steel and concrete materials and section properties are supported. Additionally, the Professional version of SI Xchange sends walls, load cases, load combinations, as well as point and line loads to STAAD.Pro.
Import capabilities - SI Xchange reads in size changes from STAAD.Pro to keep the Revit Structure model up-to-date after analysis and design are performed in STAAD.Pro.
Changes to column rotation are also updated in Revit Structure.
Model any way you want - SI Xchange automatically breaks up continuous beams and multi-story columns for analysis in STAAD.Pro.
Name resolution - SI Xchange is preconfigured to resolve standard naming convention differences for steel section profiles, yet is flexible enough to allow for new mappings between profile names for firms that use customized or in-house naming conventions.
Customization - SI Xchange provides configurable options that are saved between sessions.
Reporting - SI Xchange displays a summary of exported members and provides a log file that identifies any problems on export.
Workflow Support - SI Xchange now works when Revit Structure and STAAD.Pro are not installed on the same computer. Simply export from Revit Structure to an SI Xchange file and use the stand-alone version of SI Xchange to import the file to STAAD.Pro.
Revit Structure can also be updated from an SI Xchange file if STAAD.Pro is installed on a remote computer.
