Revit to CFD

[joris]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some information how to use a Revit MEP model in CFD!

- Which families of Revit MEP are useable?

- Are there movies or tutorials about how to use a Revit MEP model in CFD?

- Are there sample files?

- Is there someone who can share an example file?

- Is there already a topic about this question?

- ...?

Thanks!

Hi Joris,

There are guides on our Wiki.

We will read through everything you have on screen when you launch into CFD - best to start off simple and build up the model as you go.

Kind regards,

Jon

Dear Joris,

- As Mr Jon as instructed, you can follow Wiki, which leverages all required info. Also, try the Quick start Tutorial (AEC) to know abt Applications of CFD in Building Industry.

- You can consider, SIM TV which has videos explaning about CFD by Experts in several areas like,

  - Revit to CFD (Simplfying Model)

  - How CFD can be useful in Energy Consumption & etc

  -Use following link

- If using Revit & CFD on same machine, you can have CFD icon available within Revit to transfer your model directly into CFD environment.

All the best for Good start-up !

I believe from CFD you go to convert or export to sat first before you put it in CFD..is that correct like that?

Yes and no, that is an approach that would work.

There should also be a CFD button in Revit so you can do a direct launch 😉 (If it isn't there, run CFDconfig.exe as admin to get it added).
