Exploring Autodesk Revit 2024 for Structural Engineers

Exploring Autodesk Revit 2024 for Structural Engineers textbook covers major concepts and tools of Revit 2024 for Structure. It explores various processes involved in Building Information Modeling ranging from creating building components, designing conceptual massing, using smart workflows for design optimization to inspecting design variation and creating rich construction documentation. These processes have been supported through real-world examples, tutorials, and exercises to enable the users to understand the power of BIM with Autodesk Revit. Special emphasis has been laid on the explanation of concepts such as Structural Analysis, Adding Reinforcements, Linking Analytical Model, Worksharing, Conceptual Massing, Design Options, Families, Rendering, and Walkthroughs.

Prof. Sham Tickoo is currently working as a Professor at Purdue University Northwest, USA. He received an MS in Industrial Technology (1989) from Northern Illinois University, Illinois, USA; and an MS in Industrial and Management Engineering (1980) from the University of Lowa, Lowa City, USA. Before joining Purdue University in 1987, Prof. Tickoo worked as a Design Engineer, Quality Control Engineer, and Software Developer.

Prof. Sham Tickoo has Authored/Co-Authored books on several major CAD/CAM/CAE & Animation software packages like SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/Engineer, Siemens NX, Autodesk AutoCAD, Customizing AutoCAD, Autodesk AutoCAD LT, Solid Edge, Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk AutoCAD MEP, Autodesk Alias, Customizing AutoCAD, Creo, Autodesk 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design, Autodesk Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, and VIZ. In addition to North America, his books have been translated and published in Russia, Japan, India, South Korea, and Serbia. These textbooks have brought unmatched pride and recognition to the Engineering Technology Department and Purdue University. Prof. Tickoo has obtained over $24 Million in software grants from ANSYS, IBM, and Siemens. He has also developed a website that provides free teaching and learning resources to faculty and students. Since 1992, over half a million users have visited his website and are using the resources regularly.
