General information

Use the Autodesk^® CBS application to define a structure model and to perform approximate structure calculations and design of RC structure elements.

Note: Install Autodesk CBS version 20.5.1 or higher in order to access the Autodesk^® Revit^® - Autodesk CBS application.

The Extension for Autodesk® Revit® - Autodesk CBS integration allows you to:

transfer a structure model defined in Autodesk® Revit® to Autodesk CBS.
update a structure model in Autodesk® Revit® after making changes in Autodesk CBS (after structure calculations, the design of structure elements, and changes in the structure geometry).

Using the complex definition and analysis capabilities of Autodesk CBS, users of Autodesk® Revit® can directly analyze their models.

You can transfer information in both directions between Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk CBS for the following objects:

columns (structural elements)
beams (structural elements)
slabs
walls
spread footings
continuous footings
raft foundations
openings in walls and slabs
nodal loads
linear loads
planar loads
load cases
load combinations

It is possible to transfer object properties (such as materials and sections) between applications or to convert them to objects with default properties.

After transferring the Autodesk® Revit® model to Autodesk CBS, you can perform structural analysis in Autodesk CBS; then the computational model is created using the finite element method. Autodesk CBS will perform the following types of analysis:

linear
RC design to many codes
dynamic
seismic

You can transfer changes in structural data (such as those arising from RC design performed in Autodesk CBS) to Autodesk® Revit®. The Autodesk CBS - Autodesk® Revit® integration allows for changes in:

geometry of an initial structure
section size
materials
structure elements
loads
supports

Note: Revit Extensions for Autodesk Revit 2015 are compatible with the 64-bit versions of Revit 2015 software products. 32-bit installations of Revit are not supported.
