Figure: Schedules of wall's data to HTML/Excel Have you an existing Revit model with walls, then add-ins 'ICDAS WTF Create Walls Schedule' will automate schedule by 2 clicks highlighted above. Three are further three selected options for a schedule, either '1/All walls in continued order', '2/All walls after Element Type' or '3/Filter walls with Volume only'. The option 1, 2 or 3 is entered in input. The three schedules shown above are identical since the walls in Gravity Base Foundation are simple. They are all the same type, and are Revit 'Host_Volume_Computed'. Once a view schedule appear on Revit, just by a single click on ribbon panel 'Export to HTML', the schedule will be exported on your default web browser. You can save this *.html file in your project folder, and open it in Excel directly in format *.html. These Excel files help you to determine sum of volume, area, reinforcement volume, length of all walls for all levels of the building. Further, the schedule also report structural usage, top and base offset, height and other geometrical data for each wall of the building. This feature is also useful for new model, where the users apply add-ins in ICDAS to automate the building, then export data of walls to HTML/Excel. These Excel files can keep in Excel input sheet 2, 3, 4… so the users will have all data in one Excel file.
Gravity base foundations (GBF) There are three main options for GBF models: 1. Rib walls supported (varying number of walls, dimensions and so on) 2. Conical slab support where the internal cylindrical shaft continued to the base slab 3. Conical slab as the lower part of the cylindrical shaft. Automations of GBF include i.a.
§ Automatic creation of 3D geometry model (Revit) § Automatic 3D reinforcement creation (Revit) § Automatic creation of 3D FEM model (Lusas) § Automatic creation of soil volume element below the base slab, support conditions (Lusas) § Automatic creation of dead weight and ballast in FEM model (Lusas) § Free parametric number of polygon walls, or cylindrical shaft walls (npoints) § Free parametric number of vertical sections (Revit levels)
Revit 3D model can export to exchanged IFC format from which you can import in Tekla or other IFC-certified applications. Likewise, you can also import IFC file created from Tekla/AutoCAD Architecture straight into Revit with amazing results. It not only brings 3D geometry but alsobrings in material information as it has been created in Revit. Thus, the mechanic components created for wind turbine foundation in Tekla/Inventor can be easily imported in Revit. ICDAS WTF using Revit & Lusas, is tool for design and analysis of gravity base foundation, as well as sensitivity check on support conditions for the foundation bottom at the seabed, which are needed to identify for each site condition of the project. |
