Tip

For the optimal product experience we highly recommend to work with its latest version.

2024-4 Update Release (April 2024)#

Features#

  • Control over the vertical alignment of analytical panels for slabs and analytical members for beams:

    • On a global scale via settings in the configuration to determine the default behavior, e.g., according to the physical element or nearest analytical level.

    • On an instance base for individual overrides, e.g., a specific level or reference plane.

Bug Fixes#

  • Algorithm for analyzing the physical elements’ geometry has been improved. 223130

  • Restoring of area loads defined by boundaries with changes of the hosting panel has been improved. 223930

2024-3 Update Release (February 2024)#

Features#

  • Extended the capabilities to create and optimise curved analytical elements, supporting arc-shaped analytical panels (planar and bent) and analytical members. Limitations to elliptically- and spline-shaped elements still apply.

2024-0 Release (July 2023)#

First public shipment of SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator 2024.

Features#

  • Improvement of storage scheme of SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator information in Autodesk® Revit® 2024 for future extension of capabilities:

    • All information is stored on a document level and no longer on an element basis.

    • Association and visualization of an element to a specific set, e.g., Enabled = True, is handled via Revit Selection Sets.

    • This new approach already supports the creation of an analytical model where the physical model elements are part of a Revit Group.

    Important

    Deprecated SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator data, e.g., shared parameters, has been removed and related data, e.g., view templates, has been upgraded.

    Manual checking required for all instances where such data was used outside SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator workflows!

  • Major performance improvements, making SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator even faster and able to handle larger models.
