We have a new whitepaper created by David Odeh of Odeh Engineers out of North Providence Rhode Island.
This white paper explores two new Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2011 Extensions for steel framed floor system design and analysis: the Composite Design Extension and the Vibrations Analysis Extension. These tools enable the engineer to analyze and optimize steel member sizes, evaluate floor vibrations, and directly populate the Revit Structure model with calculated design information. Specific applications of the extensions include: conceptual review of floor framing options, detailed design of new steel framed floors, and analysis of existing floor systems.

With all due respect, it seems strange to me that Autodesk put resources towards this analysis package. Did they feel that there was a hole that needed to be filled in composite steel design?

By now we should be able to produce a pile schedule with Eastings, Northings and cut off levels without waiting for a free bolt on from a reseller. Please work on stuff that helps everyone in the world not just the users in one particular country.

I didnt know about the availability of this utility until I saw the blog posting. I'm trying to get the Engineers in our company more interested in BIM and since I downloaded the product they have shown a lot more interest using Revit. I had previously tried to exchange my Revit files with our design packages but didnt have great results - with this product everything is "native Revit" and therefore dynamically updated in Revit Structure without the need for external design products.

The steel floor system design sounds really ingenous, and definitely heavy duty.
