Feedback
User can decide, whether to export Structural Foundations as foundation elements or as supports. By default, foundations are always exported as foundation elements. The option to export foundations as supports is located in the StruXML Export dialog.
Export as foundation elements
If Foundation as Supports option is not selected, which is a default setting, Structural Foundations will be exported from Revit to FEM-Design as foundation elements according to the following manners for foundation types.
A/ Structural Foundation: Isolated
It is exported to FEM-Design as Isolated foundation with the following default settings:
Analytical system | Point support group |
Bedding modulus | 10000 kN/m2/m |
An analytical model of isolated foundation is exported to FEM-Design along with the material properties and the exact position of the physical model in respect to the analytical model (In FEM-Design recognized as Connection point).
B/ Structural Foundation: Wall
It is exported to FEM-Design as Wall foundation with the following default settings:
Analytical system | Line support group |
Bedding modulus | 10000 kN/m2/m |
An analytical model of wall foundation is exported to FEM-Design along with the material properties and the exact position of the physical model in respect to the analytical model (in FEM-Design recognized as Insertion point).
C/ Structural Foundation: Slab
It is exported to FEM-Design as Foundation slab with the following default settings:
Bedding modulus: 10000 kN/m2/m
An analytical model of slab foundation is exported to FEM-Design along with the material properties and the analytical alignment definition.
Export as support
If Foundation as Supports option is selected, Structural Foundations are exported from Revit to FEM-Design as Supports according to the following manner:
| In Revit | In FEM-Design will be converted into: |
|---|---|
| Structural Foundation: Isolated | Point Support Group with the default type: Hinged |
| Structural Foundation: Wall | Line Support Group with the default type: Hinged |
| Structural Foundation: Slab | Surface support group. |
