Description

CSI Link Plus is an external application for Autodesk® Revit® that enables users to transfer the analytical models from Revit to CSI SAFE and CSI ETABS for structural analysis. The goal is to eliminate the need for any extra modeling work in the target software meaning once the export file is generated, the structural model from the CSI application will be open and ready to run the analysis.

To achieve this goal the CSI Link Plus add-on in Revit must be able to export all required data for structural analysis in addition to the structural model. This information includes Design codes /material specification/load pattern, load cases, and load combinations.

Settings of default materials can be adjusted prior exporting the model

CSI LINK maps the Revit cross sections to CSI application cross sections.

Slab settings dialog provides additional settings to
define structural parameters used in CSI applications.

Wall settings dialog allows the user to adjust the structural properties of the walls.

Include the automatic rigid zone area over the column
