Graphs for the Dynamo Player#

The Dynamo Player#

The Dynamo Player (Manage Tab ‣ Visual Programming ‣ Dynamo Player) provides a simple way to execute Dynamo graphs in Revit. Use the Player to automate manual tasks through an easy-to-navigate dialog. Once the graphs are created, no Dynamo expertise is required to use the Player and run the graphs. More information about the Dynamo Player can be found in the Online Documentation of Autodesk® Revit®.

Graph Reference#

The following exemplary Graphs are provided together with SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design. They are accessible in the folder SOFiSTiK Samples of the Player. The graphs show the principle of SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design Dynamo’s Package by using various nodes to illustrate how they work together in simple visual algorithms. The graphs are in the Application Data folder of Windows which allows their modification.

001
Calculate -
Main System

Automates the mesh generation and analysis of a model in Revit. Optional SOFiSTiK input file (*.dat) can be added to the calculation process.

002
Calculate -
Subystems

Automates the generation and analysis of multiple subsystems in a model. Options allow to activate load transfer and analysis as 2D planar subsystems. The subsystems will be processed in reversed alphabetical order based on their view name.

101
Export to Excel -
Wall and Column Forces

Reads the resultant normal forces acting in walls and columns from the SOFiSTiK model associated with the currently active view and exports the information to a worksheet in Excel.

102
Export to Excel -
Punching Results

Reads the results of a punching design calculation from the SOFiSTiK model associated with the currently active view and exports the information to a worksheet in Excel.

201
Import to Parameter -
Column Reinforcement

Reads for all columns the required reinforcement from the SOFiSTiK model associated with the currently active view and writes the maximum of each element to parameters (longitudinal reinforcement).
../../_images/rxa_202_import_reinforcement_slab.svg

202
Import to Parameter -
Slab Reinforcement

Summarizes for each slab in the SOFiSTiK model associated with the currently active view the amount of required reinforcement (based on design results) and writes it as weight to a specified parameter.
