Revit 'Export to
LUSAS' plugin
- Available from the Autodesk App
Store, the LUSAS-authored 'Export to
LUSAS' plugin allows for a Revit analytical model to be exported to LUSAS for finite element analysis and optionally design checks to international codes of practice.
- Autodesk Revit "analytical elements" are converted to appropriate LUSAS features and finite elements, along with cross-sections, material attributes, loads and supports.
- The new plugin is free to
download and install to your Revit "Add-ins"
ribbon.
- Revit models exported using
the plugin can be opened by any LUSAS user with the relevant
licence. If the Revit user doesn't have LUSAS installed or
an appropriate licence available, a file can be created by
the plugin and passed to a LUSAS user who does.
LUSAS Software option: Revit Import
- To import data produced by
the Revit 'Export ot LUSAS' plugin requires a LUSAS licence key that includes the
'Revit Import' option.

Grasshopper / Geometry Gym
- Partnering with Geometry Gym,
LUSAS “components” can be accessed from Grasshopper (a
visual programming language and environment which runs
within Rhino)
- Transfer the most
sophisticated Rhino line and surface geometries reliably
from Grasshopper to LUSAS. Interact directly with Grasshopper parametric
models, make parametric changes and recreate LUSAS models
quickly. A “bake to LUSAS” function is available. Click here
for more information.
- The initial release of this plug-in version is
free for a limited time.
We look forward to hearing how it helps your workflow, and what further developments you require.

ALLPLAN
- Users of Allplan Bridge 2023
can synchronize analytical models over the Allplan Cloud
(via Bimplus) with LUSAS finite element analysis software.
The initial release of this connection supports concrete box girder bridges, with or without pre-stressed
tendons, with more bridge types to be supported in the
future. Via the Allplan Cloud, analytically relevant
entities from Allplan Bridge can be transferred to various
structural analysis solutions for further processing,
providing users with more flexibility to utilize external
analysis software of their choosing.
- A verification example enables
users to fully demonstrate and verify the calculation
methods used in Allplan Bridge for reinforcement design and
code-checking. A simply supported single-span
pedestrian bridge designed as a prestressed concrete girder
with a single solid T-shaped section with haunches is used
to help users to fully understand the inputs
and the results provided

BIM level 2 compliance
- Bring model data from
different disciplines together in a federated model for
comparison and clash detection and deliver your projects to the
BIM level expected by your client.
- LUSAS helps you achieve
Level 2 compliance by sharing design information through the
IFC common file format. Reports can be produced in the
compliant PDF format. Information in reports can be
standardised through templating to include all required
input and output data.
- An IFC model created by LUSAS
can hold geometry and attributes in the standard format and
other LUSAS-specific information as ‘private’ data.
Retaining the complete file structure ensures that all data
can be passed to your client for its records.
- LUSAS supports import and
export of IFC files (up to IFC4). Export can be to the
Structural or Architectural domain, ensuring that your
project team can make the best of the shared information.
