I am currently using Revit Structure 2012.
Does anyone out there try to import or export structural analysis software to and from Revit Structure (RS)?
Our structural analysis software is RAM Structural Systems (RAM SS), which is a Bentley product. Our ideal workflow is to model the building in RAM SS, analyze it in RAM SS, and then export it to Revit Structure to produce our enigneering drawings.
These exports tend to work out great when you import the model into Revit for the first time. We, however, are coming to find that over time when things constanstly change, as they always do throughout a project, we start to have serious difficulties in keeping both the RAM and Revit files "linked". We tend to keep losing this link and we do not know the cause of it and apparently Bentley or Autodesk doesn't know the cause either. We think we have narrowed it down to the problem being with the Revit Structure analytical model, but cannot figure out how the analytical model gets messed up.
I would really appreciate any feedback anyone might have regarding their successes, problems, or tips on their experience with trying to import and export analysis software into Revit.
Thanks in advance!
