Adding extra analytical node to Revit elements
The ability to add a node along a column or beam. There are cases where the boundary condition is not at the beginning or end of a element. Currently you have to split the beam or column to add a node. This doesn't work well graphically though for the physical model.
Also needed for a continuously spanning beam so you can indicate attachment to another element. You need to use the same work around for this also. Splitting a continuous beam though to indicate its connection to another beam (bottom underslung type or purlin bearing type) is totally confusing and will lead to fabrication and erection errors.
I have tried using connections to create this needed node, but even though the connections recognize the cont. span bm and the supporting member, they don't add a node for analysis.
@catalin_lang See above. Would it be possible to have connections add nodes?
This Idea isn't getting many likes because it is very specialized. BUT if you use Revit as a source for analysis, adding nodes at connections or even allowing point loads to do it is very much needed.
Is there a way to do this is Revit 2019 yet? Adding a node to an element such as a beam to attached columns that might not be continuous will be quite useful.
Definitly for Industrial steel structures we are having big problems with the limits, that there is not an analytical node possible. With pipe lines and other loads crossing the beam we have big problems creating a flexibel design. A free point load is not sufficient, because there is no certainty that a load stays on the structure. Also for supports there is not enough flexibility.
