Revit Loads

Konstru Loads are supported in Revit. But there are some important details:

Revit Hosted loads are translated into CSI loads.

Revit Non-hosted loads will be translated into RAM Loads.

CSI (Etabs and SAP2000)

In Revit Load Combinations, Cases and Patterns are slightly different. This is why CSI Load Patterns are being translated into Revit Load Cases and back. 

Have a look at the table below to understand Revit - CSI Load translations:

	CSI	Revit	Status
	Point load	Point load (hosted)
	Distributed Load	Linear Load (hosted)
	Area Load	Area Load (hosted)
	Load Pattern	Load Case
	Load Combination	Load Combination
	Load Case	Not supported

When using Revit loads we advice you to set either Forces or Moments. Please do not apply Forces and Moments at the same time. Create a second load instead, holding either force or moment.

RAM (non-hosted Revit loads)

Non-hosted Revit loads are turned into RAM loads and back. RAM does not require nor return Load Cases, Patterns or Combinations therefore Revit loads are translated 1:1 to RAM loads like this:

	RAM	Revit	Status
	Point load	Point Load (non-hosted)
	Line Load	Linear Load (non-hosted)
	Surface Load	Area Load (non-hosted)

RAM Loads are always vertical, therefore Konstru takes only Forces (not Moments) in Z direction into account. Forces in X or Y direction are ignored.
