The weld is represented in the view as a cross symbol that can be used to add tags for documentation. Hover your cursor over elements, available edges to receive the weld highlight.
Pick one of the available edges of the elements to connect to place the weld.
Note: Use Ctrl + click to select multiple elements.
In the drawing area, select the steel elements to connect. Click Steel tab Fabrication Elements panel (Welds). The Welds Tool: Add welds to establish a connection between steel structural elements. The drop-down on the bolts icon gives us the option to place several structural elements defined by a work plane. The bolts are created perpendicular to the selected face of the element, in the current work plane and view, according to the sketched contour. To draw the shape of the bolt pattern, use the available sketch tools on the current work plane, in 3D or plan views. The Bolts Tool: Inserts bolts and the related holes in the selected model elements. Steel plate to reinforce the structural connection between the column and beam. To draw the shape of the plate, use the sketch tools on the current work plane, in 3D or plan views. The Plate Tool: Create a structural plate in the building model. Structural Connection: Add a structural connection to structural elements. In this blog we will concentrate mainly on the Steel Fabrication Elements. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural design and its terminology.Steel Connections Tab – Fabrication ElementsĬlick the Steel Tab on the Ribbon to access the Steel Connection, Fabrication Elements, Modifiers and Parametric Cuts panels. This student guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit Structure software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions.
Access to the 2019 / 2020 version of the software.Project practices to reinforce learning.
Adding foundations and structural slabs.Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model.Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software.The examples and practices are designed to take the students through the basics of a full structural project, from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model. This learning guide is intended to introduce students to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes it a powerful and flexible structural modelling tool. To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk® Revit® 2019 / 2020: Fundamentals for Structure guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation.
