We've been using Revit for several months now and have yet to figure out how to use it with RAM Structural Analysis. There is a link that is supposed to be installed with Revit from RAM that is supposed to let you import a RAM model into Revit or export a Revit model to RAM. I haven't personally done it, so I'm not sure what exactly happened when it was tried, but I know that when the model was started in RAM an then imported into Revit, it worked once, but we then couldn't export it back into RAM if we needed to change anything. When we started with Revit and tried to export into RAM it didn't work at all. Again, I'm not sure what exactly happened. Any ideas?
Thanks |  | | |

Hi, let's see if what I have to say makes any sense.
At my old office, they were testing a similar process with another Structural software. I remember that company was still trying to work out the kinks in their plugin, but I also remember there was a specific workflow that they recommended using.
I remember some ways we tried worked ok, and some not at all. I would suggest getting on the Structural Engineering software website, and see if they have a White Paper or something with the appropriate workflow. Maybe it's in the Revit help too, I'm not for sure since I don't use structural that often... _______________

Yea, I think what's happening is we are missing some sort of 3rd party component. Talking with Bentley now to see what we could need.
Thanks for the help! |

No problem...is RAM what your engineers are used to working with in the past and that's why you want RAM, or are there other benefits? I know that there are other programs out there that work, and I can find out the name of the other software my past company was using if you are interested. _______________

Yea we use about 3 different RAM programs pretty regularly. I think we have a pretty extensive contract with them. I found a good tutorial for it on Bentley's website, but I'm just getting an error right now, and when I looked it up, there was someone else getting the error for some software unrelated to Revit, and it was a 3rd party problem. Having IT look into it and see if it's a problem they can fix, and also sent a message to Bentley. |
