SOFiSTiK is a finite element package that has been developed specially for the analysis of civil engineering structures. The primary objective of this manual is to explain the general workflow for different standard projects such as bridge design, building design, steel design, geotechnics, dynamics and fire design.

With a simplified User Interface, member-orientated design workflows, extended interfaces for collaboration and other features, SOFiSTiK | 2020 has been developed to support you with your daily work.

Last release in addition to the new family of BIM Apps 2021 and the compatibility of SOFiPLUS, SOFiCAD and Analysis + Design you can increase your efficiency with following features of Servicepack:

- Import of terrain model from LandXML and new analytical link to SOFiPLUS with CABD technology for the Bridge Modeler, which has been renamed to SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler with release 2021
- Reworked slab design with support of global combinations and new Publish Results for all calculation reports in Analysis + Design 2021 and the Revit Interface
- New Result View feature: Visualize results of analysis and design directly within Revit in Analysis + Design 2021
- Non effective areas in cross sections can also deactivate reinforcements in SOFiSTiK FEA Servicepack 2020-5
- DOCX bending schedule supports non-standard variable rebar shapes in SOFiCAD and Reinforcement Detailing 2021
- French SOFiPLUS-X powered by AutoCAD technology
- New Grasshopper components for pre- and post-tensioning in Rhinoceros Interface

Autodesk App Store is a web service provided by Autodesk that makes it easy to find and acquire plugin extensions, other companion applications, content and learning materials to customize and extend many Autodesk design products.

Apps found in Autodesk App Store have been created by 3rd party developer with Autodesk software development expertise, as well as Autodesk. Many 3rd party developers are members of the Autodesk Developer Network.




SOFiSTiK is Europe's leading software developer for analysis, design and detailing of building and infrastructure projects worldwide. Today, employing more than 70 people, we are one of the leading software developers for Finite Element Software in the construction industry, as well as for integrated detailing software based on Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit. SOFiSTiK's subsidiary and Authorized Training Center BiMOTiON provides training and consulting for all aspects of implementing BIM workflows.

SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design for Revit 2021 6.0333

SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design enables you to perform structural analyses of buildings and member design directly in Autodesk Revit.

The App provides for a full Finite Element Analysis and design workflow - from model consistency checks to code checking for concrete members like slabs, columns, and beams. Structural analyses can be performed in 3D - allowing for realistic simulation of the structural stiffness and optional consideration of the construction sequence. Additionally 2D and 3D subsystems can be adopted in combination with an automatic load takedown. Members can be grouped and accordingly designed in Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States. Calculation and design reports will be generated automatically. Results can be visualized and managed in Revit or be transferred to spreadsheets for further processing using the Export to Excel function.

Together with the full support of collaboration features, SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design enables a seamless structural analysis workflow within Revit.

When installed with SOFiSTiK 2021, the app enhances into a Revit interface for the full SOFiSTiK FEA.

SOFiSTiK 3D-PDF Export 2021 5.0.26

SOFiSTiK 3D-PDF Export extends the functionalities of Autodesk Revit through the generation of standard PDF documents with embedded 3D graphics. The 3D-PDF files can be opened by any PDF reader that supports the PDF 1.6 standard, such as Adobe Reader 7.0 or later. SOFiSTiK 3D-PDF Export uses the geometric definition of the elements in order to create an equivalent representation of the model in U3D format. Descriptive information about the particular Revit objects is embedded.

SOFiSTiK BiMTOOLS 2021 5.0.58

SOFiSTiK BiMTOOLS are a set of free tools for Autodesk Revit Structure which enhances the productivity for elaborations of views up to 50%.

SOFiSTiK Bridge Modeler 2021 6.0.164

SOFiSTiK Bridge Modeler supports BIM in Bridge Design and Detailing. The application allows users to create parametrized 3D bridge models using alignment parameters and generic families in Autodesk Revit.

The product consists of the software itself and content including generic families for super- and substructure creation. These families can be easily modified or created from scratch to meet local and company standards. Additional bridge equipment elements such as parapets and railings can also be created.

Automatic generation of section views, top views, longitudinal sections, and elevation points-assists users in detailing and documenting their structures.

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing 2021 6.0.163

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing significantly accelerates the creation of 2D reinforcement sheets out of 3D models in Autodesk Revit. The product consists of software and a set of families, which can easily be modified to meet local or company standards. Creation of bar lists, bending schedules and cut lists for wire meshes is included as well.

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation 2021 5.0.49

The 3D rebar model created by SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation shall serve as an automatically generated recommendation which fulfills the required reinforcement and which can be modified and further refined by the user.

Design requirements from construction codes and company standards can be controlled by user-defined rules similar to the approach used in expert systems. Visualization of existing and required reinforcement further support users to ensure their quality of work.

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation reads analysis results directly from the SOFiSTiK database (.cdb) as well as from Autodesk Revit Results Packages.

Connections between elements (eg. walls to floors) as well as secondary reinforcements are not supported by SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Generation.




When running SOFiSTiK BIM Apps in the Autodesk Revit platforms, the minimum requirements are superseded by the minimum requirements listedfor those platforms.
