Direct Launch Robot Structural Analysis - CFD does not work

Anonymous — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:39:25 GMT

There are several problems with CFD

Firstly, I can not link CFD and Robot Structural Analysis directly (issue: CFD is not installed).

Secondly, I can not find any direct link Revit to CFD ultimate 2019 like this:

Hello,

For the Robot Structural model: Is that a beam and plate (or shell) model? If so, such a model, which is basically lines and surfaces, would not make sense as a CFD model. If, on the other hand, it is a solid model, try saving it i a neutral CAD format such as iges, acis or step and open that in CFD.

For the Revit model, which version or Revit are you using?

Appreciate your response

For RSA, basically, I am working with structures (I thought it is similar to wind analysis in RSA).

I use Revit 2021 last version with updates.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

I assume when you say "I am working with structures" you mean beams and shells (i.e. lines and surfaces).

In that case, you won't be able to work with such a model in CFD.

As for Revit, CFD 2019 will not connect to Revit 2021. You can export the Revit model in a neutral CAD format such as ACIS, IGES or STEP and open that in CFD.

I hope thi shelps.
