Synchronizing the Geometry
The synchronization of geometry between Revit® Architecture and COMSOL is associative, and can be configured to generate selections in the COMSOL model for elements in the Revit project. The selections are available for setting up the analysis, for example for physics interface or mesh settings. Working with selections also retains the model settings should you change the design in Revit and resynchronize.
This tutorial gives a quick introduction to the workflow when synchronizing the geometry of a room, and preparing it for analysis. Although setting up the physics interface is not part of the tutorial, the geometry that is generated can be used for acoustics simulation of the room, for example.
The following steps are included in the exercise:
•
Configuring the synchronization of the Revit project
•
Creating a COMSOL model containing a LiveLink node
•
Synchronizing the geometry
•
Preparing the synchronized geometry for analysis
