Once the design is satisfactory and the user clicks "Save and Close", the changes to the beam's design section size in ENERCALC will be automatically applied to the physical beam in the Revit model. The dimension controls for the concrete beam section are not locked, and may be edited by the user in the ENERCALC interface:Īs with traditional ENERCALC Concrete Beam calculations, changing the section dimensions will cause both the beam section schematic and the concrete design code checks to update automatically in real-time.
Only the dimensions of the physical beam will be used. The slab thickness and spatial relationship of the slab to the top of the concrete beam will not influence the design geometry displayed in the ENERCALC calculation. The design dimensions of the cross-section displayed in ENERCALC will exactly match the gross dimensions of the Revit beam element itself. In cases where the rectangular beam was NOT joined to a slab at time of launch, the slab will have no influence over the design geometry of the beam. If a concrete beam is sent to ENERCALC as a rectangular beam, then the calculation will load with only this option displayed: When a concrete beam calculation loads in the ENERCALC interface, the user will not find options to toggle the beam section type (unlike conventional non-Revit-linked calculations). Using the "Select" button on the row marked "Skip" and "No T-Beam" will launch the calculation: When the calculation launch process reaches the "Section Geometry" tab, the user will be informed that the beam is not eligible for design as a T-Beam.
The simplest approach to launch a Concrete Beam calculation as a basic rectangular beam is to select a beam in the Revit model that meets to following criteria: unjoined conditions, ENERCALC for Revit users should remain aware of the join relationships between concrete beams and concrete floors in a Revit model. Since the design behavior differs in joined vs. When they are joined, their solid geometries will be combined, rather than having two distinct geometries which overlap in 3D space and 2D views. Revit provides the ability for users to control whether or not adjacent physical elements are joined to each other.
