Structural Floors

Following properties of Structural Floors are exported from Revit to FEM-Design along with the geometry of the Analytical Floor element:

• Thickness of the structural layer
• Material*
• Eccentricity**

* Only the Structural material is exported. Read more in Material.
** Read more about the eccentricity export rules in Eccentricity.

Structural floors can be exported as regular slabs, but also as profiles panels and fictitious shells. Read more about the Floor Identifier tool.

If one wants to export a Revit model containing floor elements, he needs to be aware that each structural floor element in Revit has to be a separate instance i.e. only one individual floor should be drawn using the Create Floor Boundary command. If more than one floor element is created within one floor boundary, it will be divided into number of separate elements when exported to struxml.
