CSI XRevit is a powerful, dedicated plugin that creates a live connection between Autodesk Revit and the Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) analysis suite. It allows structural engineers to transfer a Revit model including geometry, materials, loads, and load cases directly into ETABS or SAP2000 for sophisticated analysis and design. After analysis, design results and any necessary model changes can be synchronized back to Revit, maintaining an integrated BIM workflow and ensuring the analytical model aligns with the construction documentation model.
CSI XRevit is developed for structural engineers, BIM managers, and Revit technicians working in building design. It is specifically designed for professionals who use Autodesk Revit for modeling and require a seamless, bi-directional link to perform advanced structural analysis and design in CSI’s flagship software, SAP2000, ETABS, and SAFE.
Bi-Directional Model Synchronization: The core feature. Send a structural Revit model to ETABS or SAP2000 and update the Revit model based on analysis-driven design changes (member sizing, reinforcement).
Intelligent Object Mapping: Accurately maps Revit categories (structural columns, beams, floors, walls, bracing) to corresponding frame, shell, and area objects in the analysis software, preserving material and section properties.
Load & Load Case Transfer: Transfers Revit load cases, combinations, and applied loads (point, line, area) to the analysis model, ensuring the analytical loading is consistent with the BIM intent.
Design Result Visualization in Revit: View analysis and design results (such as moment diagrams, reaction forces, deflected shapes, reinforcement areas) directly within the Revit viewport via the integrated viewer.
Automated Model Check & Validation: Includes tools to check and validate the Revit model before export (e.g., checking for proper supports, member connectivity, load application) to reduce errors in analysis.
Support for Complex Structures: Handles a wide range of structural systems, including steel, concrete, composite, and timber, supporting the advanced modeling capabilities of CSI software.
Workflow Automation & Customization: Allows for customization of the mapping rules and automation of repetitive transfer tasks to fit specific office standards.
This version aligns with the latest releases of Revit and CSI software, focusing on enhanced interoperability, performance, and new object support:
Full Support for Revit 2026 & ETABS/SAP2000 v26: Certified compatibility with the latest annual releases of Autodesk Revit and CSI analysis software.
Enhanced Reinforcement Synchronization for Concrete Design: Improved two-way transfer of detailed rebar design results from ETABS concrete design or SAFE back into Revit’s reinforcement modeling tools.
Performance Optimizations for Large Models: Faster export and import times for very large and complex building models, with better memory management.
Expanded Object & Load Type Support: Added support for transferring newer Revit family types and more complex load patterns (including non-linear loads) to the analysis model.
Streamlined User Interface & Error Reporting: A more intuitive interface within Revit and clearer diagnostic messages during the transfer process to troubleshoot issues quickly.
OS: Windows 10 64-bit (version 1809 or later) / Windows 11 (as required by Revit 2026)
CPU: 2.5 GHz or faster processor (Minimum: Intel i-series, Xeon, AMD Ryzen with SSE2. Multi-core recommended)
RAM: 16 GB RAM (This is a practical minimum. 8 GB is the Revit absolute minimum but insufficient for combined Revit+Analysis workflow).
Software Prerequisites: Autodesk Revit 2024, 2025, or 2026 AND a compatible version of CSI ETABS or SAP2000 must be installed.
