Use Analytical Automation tools to generate an structural analytical model from physical elements, or generate physical model elements from analytical model elements .
What is Analytical Automation?
- A structural analytical model from a physical model.
- A physical model from a structural analytical model.
Why should you use it?
Starting in Revit 2023, the structural analytical model is separate from the physical model. Prior to this, the analytical model and the physical model were connected. The elements used to create model contained both representations, physical and analytical. Separating the models gives more flexibility to modeling workflows. You are free to model the physical model and the analytical model to each of their unique needs. Analytical Automation makes the process of developing one model from the other almost automatic.
Where do you find the tool?
Structural Analytical Model panel
(Analytical Automation). In the dialog, select from the options based on the type of model you are starting with.
- Analytical to Physical for Buildings
- Physical to Analytical for Buildings
Select the inputs for the graph, and run the tool. For additional information on the values used for the inputs see Analytical to Physical Automation and Physical to Analytical Automation.
