Subsystem View

Creates a 3D Review View required and sets the required property SOFiSTiK_SubsystemName accordingly, thus creating a Subsystem View for further generation of a corresponding SOFiSTiK Finite Element model.

Two options are possible:

  • Subsystem View

    the view is created by manual selection of elements

  • Subsystem View by Levels (available through the drop-down menu of the command)

    the view is automatically created via the information levels of the Revit project.

The subsystem specification window appears where the name of the subsystem (and its view) and parameters for load transfer can be defined.

By validating with OK, the newly created view is added to Revit’s Project Browser and opened.

Note

For subsystem views, the following rules apply:

  • Revit structural elements with analytical and geometrical model visible will be generated as Finite Elements.

  • Revit elements with only the analytical model visible will be generated as supports (if the corresponding option is activated in the Generate Dialog).

Tip

A Revit View can be used as a SOFiSTiK subsystem view if its parameter SOFiSTiK_SubsystemName is filled.
