Boundary Conditions
Boundary Conditions define how the model is externally constrained. All models must be attached to some
external point or points of support. You may define these points of support as completely restrained or as
partially restrained with a Spring. You can also define a spring support that has stiffness in only one direction
with tension-only or compression-only springs.
For additional advice on this topic, please see the RISA News webpage at risa.com/news. Type in Search
keywords: Boundary Conditions.

Creating and Modifying Boundary Conditions

There are a number of ways to create or modify boundary conditions. You may view and edit the data in
the Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet, you may double-click a joint to view and edit its properties, or you can
use the Modify Boundaries tool to graphically assign or modify a possibly large selection of boundary
conditions.

Modify Boundary Conditions for Joints

The graphical Modify Boundary tool discussed here lets you specify and modify boundary
conditions graphically. To use this, you will typically specify the new boundary condition,
then select the joints that you want to assign or modify.
You can modify or assign joints one at a time by selecting the Apply by Clicking/Boxing option and then click
on the joints you wish to modify. You may also modify or assign entire selections of joints by selecting
the joints first and then use the Apply to All Selected option.
The parameters shown below are the same as those on the Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet and are
described in Boundary Condition Options. Use the arrow buttons to select the boundary condition.
The Use? check boxes next to the data fields indicate whether the particular parameter will be used or not
when the modification is applied. If the box next to a field is checked, that parameter will be applied to any
selected joints If the box is NOT checked, the parameter will NOT be applied, even if a value is entered in the
field. This lets you easily change one or two parameters on joints without affecting all the rest of the
parameters.
To Apply Boundary Conditions

1. If there is not a model view already open, click   on the RISA Toolbar to open a new view and
click   to turn on the Drawing Toolbar if it is not already displayed.

2. Click the  Boundary Conditions button on the Home tab and define the boundary condition. Check

the Use? Box for the items to apply.
3. You may apply the boundary condition by choosing joints on the fly or apply it to a selection of joints.
To choose joints on the fly, choose Apply Entries by Clicking/Boxing Joints and click Apply. Click/Box
the joints with the left mouse button.
To apply the boundary condition to a selection of joints, choose Apply Entries to All
Selected Joints and click Apply.
Note

 To apply more boundaries with different conditions, press CTRL-D to recall the Boundary

Conditions Dialog.

 You may also view and edit boundary conditions by double-clicking on a joint.

 You may also specify or edit boundary conditions in the Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet.

 You may undo any mistakes by clicking the Undo   button.

Generate Soil Springs
A subgrade modulus may be automatically applied to horizontal plates in a model using the Subgrade
Springs tool. The tool will generate compression-only springs in the vertical direction at all plate joints in the
selected group of plates. Joints must be connected to plates which are perpendicular to the vertical direction
or the joints will be ignored. If a boundary code other than a compression-only spring already exists in the
vertical direction at that joint, the boundary code will NOT be modified.

RISA-3D calculates the tributary area for each plate joint individually and multiplies that area by the subgrade
modulus to determine the spring stiffness for the compression-only spring at that joint. The boundary codes
for all plate joints affected are automatically modified in the Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet.

Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet
The Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet records the boundaries for the joints and may be accessed by
selecting Boundary Conditions on the Spreadsheets Menu.

The Joint Label column contains the label of the joint that is restrained.

The remaining columns record the boundary conditions that apply to the joint. There are six degrees of
freedom for each joint (3 translation, 3 rotation), so there are six columns for degrees of freedom. The
boundary conditions are entered in these remaining columns by selecting the cell, clicking   and choosing
from the boundary options. You may also type them in directly.

Advanced Boundary Conditions

The Advanced tab of the boundary conditions spreadsheet contains information on nodal damping.
Damping for Spring Boundary Conditions
When the user has defined a two-way soil spring to a joint and chooses to run a time history analysis using the
Direct Integration solution method, then they may manually assign a Damping value to each of these soil
springs.
Note:

 If there is not a spring boundary condition for the direction specified, then the user entered damping
value will be ignored. You can only manipulate supports in this column if they are simple point
supports. Any footings, piles or pile caps are manipulated in the other columns.

 These damping entries are only used when the direct integration method is selected for the time
history solution. These values are not editable unless this method is already selected in the Global
Parameters.

Boundary Condition Options
Free joints have no restraint in any of the degrees of freedom and need not be listed on the Boundary
Conditions Spreadsheet. The following are the valid boundary condition options that may be used for
the six degrees of freedom.
Note

 Models that contain compression-only or tension-only springs must be iterated until the solution
converges. Convergence is achieved when no more load reversals are detected in the springs.
During the iteration process, each spring is checked, and if any springs are turned off (or back on),
the stiffness matrix is rebuilt and model is resolved.  This can take quite a bit longer than a regular
static solution.

 With this iteration procedure it is possible to run into a phenomenon known as "clapping". This
occurs when a compression-only spring keeps going between a tension force present (where the
spring is removed) to a compression force present (where the spring is re-added). This can be
somewhat common in non-linear solutions. If you run into this phenomenon, you may see the
program give Error 1162. The fix is to very slightly adjust either the loading or the spring/element
stiffness to get the offending spring out of the range where it can bounce back and forth. Another
option would be to move the location of the soil spring slightly so it's not right at an inflection
boundary.

 You can enter the first letter of the option ("R" for Reaction, "S" for Spring, etc.) rather than
typing out the entire code. RISA-3D fills in the rest automatically. The exception is the SLAVE
entry, where the full word does have to be entered (since "S" denotes a spring). After SLAVE, the
master joint needs to be entered (for example, SLAVEN2)
Boundary Condition at ALL Joints
The entry "ALL" may be entered in the Joint Label field. The boundary conditions entered on this line will be
applied to ALL the joints not otherwise listed. This is useful if you should want to lock certain directions of
movement for all or most of the joints. For example, if you are solving a 2D frame defined in the XY plane and
you're only interested in the planar action, you could enter "ALL" and put an "F" (for Fixed) for Z translation, X
Rotation and Y Rotation. See the following figure:

Note

 If a joint is explicitly listed with boundary conditions, those boundary conditions override the
"ALL" conditions for all 6 directions. The "ALL" specified boundary codes apply only to
those joints NOT otherwise listed on the Boundary Conditions Spreadsheet.

 When using the "ALL" command, boundary conditions are no longer graphically displayed.

Reaction Boundary Condition
The "R" code, for Reaction, specifies full restraint for the indicated direction. No movement will be allowed in
the indicated direction for this joint. Furthermore, the reaction will be calculated at this joint, for this direction.

Fixed Boundary Condition

The "F" code, for Fixed, specifies full restraint for the joint in the indicated direction. The difference between
"Fixed" and "Reaction" is that for the "Fixed" code, no reaction is calculated. The "Fixed" condition actually
removes the degree of freedom from the solution, which is why the reaction value is not available. If you
aren't interested in the reaction value, using the "Fixed" code will result in a slightly smaller model and less
output.

Spring Boundary Condition
The "Snnn" code, for Spring, models a spring attached to the joint in the indicated direction. The "nnn" portion
of the code is the numerical magnitude of the springs' stiffness. The units for the spring stiffness depend upon
whether the spring is translational or rotational. The appropriate units are shown at the top of the column.
For example, if a spring of stiffness 1000 Kips per Inch were desired in the X direction at a particular joint, for
that joint you would enter 'S1000' for the X direction boundary condition.

Compression-Only Springs
The "CSnnn" code, for Compression-Only Springs, models a one way "compression-only" spring attached to
the joint in the indicated direction. This spring has stiffness for negative displacements and NO stiffness for
positive displacements. The "nnn" portion of the code is the numerical magnitude of the springs' stiffness. The
spring stiffness units are the same as those for a normal spring. Compression-only springs are useful as
soil springs when analyzing foundations that may have uplift.
For example, if a compression-only (CS) spring with a stiffness of 500k/in were desired in the Y direction at a
certain joint, you would enter 'CS500' for the Y direction boundary condition.
This means that all displacements at this joint in the negative Y direction will be resisted with a stiffness of
500k/in. However, the joint is free to move in the positive Y direction.

 When a model contains T/C only springs, the program must iterate the solution until it converges.
Convergence is achieved when no more load reversals are detected in the T/C only springs.
During the iteration process, each T/C only boundary condition is checked. If any springs are
 turned off (or turned back on), the stiffness matrix is rebuilt and model is resolved. For models
with lots of T/C only elements, this can take a bit longer than a regular static solution.

Tension-Only Springs
The "TSnnn" code, for Tension-Only Springs, models a one way "tension-only" spring attached to the joint in
the indicated direction. This spring has stiffness for positive displacements and NO stiffness for negative
displacements. The "nnn" portion of the code is the numerical magnitude of the springs' stiffness. The spring
stiffness units are the same as for a normal spring.
For example, if a tension-only (TS) spring with a stiffness of 500k/in. were desired in the Y direction at a
certain joint, you would enter 'TS500' for the Y direction boundary condition.
This means that all displacements at this joint in the positive Y direction will be resisted with a stiffness of
500k/in. However the joint is free to move in the negative Y direction.

 When a model contains T/C only springs, the program must iterate the solution until it converges.
Convergence is achieved when no more load reversals are detected in the T/C only springs.
During the iteration process, each T/C only boundary condition is checked. If any springs are
turned off (or turned back on), the stiffness matrix is rebuilt and model is resolved. For models
with lots of T/C only elements, this can take a bit longer than a regular static solution.

Slaved Joints
You may slave any or all of the joint degrees of freedom to another joint.  See Slaving Joints for more
information.

Story Drift Joints

 The Boundary spreadsheet is also used to record joints to be used for story drift calculation.  For

example, to indicate that a particular joint is to represent the fourth story level for X direction
drift, you would enter “STORY 4” for the X direction boundary condition for the joint.  These
STORY entries may only be made in the translation degrees of freedom.  See Drift for more
information.

Boundary Conditions at Wall Panels

If the edge of a wall panel is to be viewed as continuously pinned or fixed, then the boundary condition for
that wall must be set in the wall panel editor. Situations can arise where there is a difference between the wall
panel edge boundary condition and the boundary condition defined at a joint along that edge. In these
situations the joint boundary condition will always govern for that joint. However, the rest of the edge will be
based on the wall panel's boundary conditions.
 
Various Line Style Settings in Revit
User can change line style of element from several places: Object Styles, View
Visibility/Graphic Overrides, Override Graphics in View by Filter and Override
Graphics in View by Element. What are the differences between them?
Object Styles: you can get it from Ribbon tab Manage > Settings > Object Styles
and open the dialog (Figure 1). In the dialog, you can change line styles in all the
views in this project environment.

(Figure 1)
View Visibility/Graphics Overrides: you can get it from view element properties
dialog, clicking Edit button of parameter Visibility/Graphics Overrides (Figure 2). You
can also get it from Right-click element> Override graphics in view> by Category. In
the dialog, you can override the line style of categories in the VIEW. The override will
not affect the line styles in other views.

(Figure 2)
Override Graphics in View by Filter: you can get it from Right-click element>
Override Graphics in View> by Filter. You can also get it from view element
properties dialog, clicking Edit button of parameter Visibility/Graphic override>Filter
tab (Figure 3). You can add a filter of elements by certain Element/Type parameters
and override the line style of the filtered elements in CURRENT view.

(Figure 3)
Override Graphics in View by Element : you can get it from Right-click element>
Override Graphics in View> by Element (Figure 4). In the dialog, you can override
the line style of selected elements in CURRENT view. The override only affects the
line styles of selected elements in current views.

(Figure 4)

IN SUMMARY:
So the priority of these settings is: Override Graphics in view by Element>Override
Graphics in View by Filter>View Visibility/Graphics Overrides>Object Styles. The
affected area for each setting is listed in the following table.
 

　  Override Override View Visibility/Graphics Object

Graphics in Graphics in Overrides Styles
View by Element View by Filter (i.e. Override Graphics in
 View by Category)

Framing template/How to disable auto setback

Framing Template
There are 2 different templates in the package:

Template Type #1: Structural Framing - Beams and Braces.rft (for 2 point

placement beams and braces)

 Reference planes usage

Left/Right - Extents of the geometry curve as shown by the blue dot when
selected, which control the length of framing.
Member Left/Member Right – Physical edge of the geometric extents, and
which control the cut length of framing.
Stick Symbol Left/ Stick Symbol Right – Extents of stick representation
when symbolic representation is set to "From Family".

 Behavior in project
 The topmost point of the framing will attach to the current level
automatically.
Also, the insertion point can be changed (if needed) using "z-
Direction justification" parameter.
  Have the option to add rebar, but only can add reinforcement to
the regular shape framing.

 
Template Type #2: Structural Framing – Complex and Trusses.rft (for type based
length families)

 Behavior in project
  Relative position with current level will be based on the "insertion
point" which is defined in the family editor. Shown below,

 Have NO option to add reinforcement.

 
Disable auto setback

For the beam that is created based on the "Structural Framing - Beams and
Braces.rft", the geometry cut back is controlled by reference planes - Member
Left/Member right and the Structural Material Type, as well as the boundary box of
the geometry the beam is connecting to.
Predefined setbacks are as listed below.
Steel = ½" (12.7mm)
Concrete = ½" (12.7mm)
Precast Concrete = ½" (12.7mm)
Wood = 0" (0mm)
Other = ½" (12.7mm)

Shown as:

Sometimes, users don't want the auto setback and want to control the beam
precisely from the column center, for this situation, predefined setbacks can be over-
ridden in the definition of family by constraining the ends of geometry to the
reference planes – Left/Right, which are the ones that control the end of the
geometry curve as shown by the blue dot when selected. In this case, cut length will
always equal to length.

Updated CSIxRevit for both Revit Structure 2009 and

2010
 
 
Hi All,

Computers and Structures, Inc., has officially released a new version of CSIxRevit
that is compatible with both Revit Structure 2009 and Revit Structure 2010. Since it
supports both versions of Revit Structure, CSI has officially renamed the product
CSIxRevit.

A list of some of the new enhancements is below:

- Several enhancements have been made to CSIxRevit handle the situation where
ETABS and Revit use different standard names for the same frame section property
and no mapping file has been provided by the user for this section: (1) European and
British sections names are mapped between the two programs in cases where the
correspondence is known. This mapping is automatic and two way.(2) When no
corresponding section name can be found, a new section or family is created with
the same name and given default properties. The user can then define the correct
properties for the created section, and the correspondence will be maintained for all
subsequent data transfer using that same model. (3) A new ETABS section
database file CISC9.PRO has been provided for current Canadian steel sections.

- CSIxRevit for ETABS has been updated to support both Revit Structure 2009 and
2010, and is available in either 32- or 64-bit versions.

- The “Frame Section Mapping” and the “.PRO Files” forms used to show the
mapping between Revit models and ETABS models have been enhanced to make it
easier to see the location of the ETABS section-property database files.

- The CSIxRevit documentation has been updated to better describe the mapping of
deck section properties/families between ETABS and Revit Structure.

- An enhancement has been implemented that allows material properties that have
 been created or modified in ETABS to be updated in Revit when exporting the model
from ETABS to Revit.

For more information about the link can be found

here: http://www.csiberkeley.com/Revit/

Thank you

Concrete Beam Hidden Line Display Parameter

In Autodesk Revit Structure, we can get different hidden lines by setting a parameter
called: Display in Hidden Views
Use the following case to explain how to:
There is a floor and a T shape beam under the floor (See Figure 1).

                                                (Figure 1)
Select the beam and click edit family. In beam family editor, open family category
and parameters dialog, for parameter "Display in hidden views", there are 3 options
(See Figure 2):
1. Edges Hidden by Beam Itself
2. Edges Hidden by Other Members
3. All Edges
  
                (Figure 2)
Let's apply the 3 parameters and compare the differences:
1. Edges Hidden by Beam Itself, only show beam edges in hidden line which are
hidden by beam itself (See Figure 3)

                                                (Figure 3)
2. Edges Hidden by Other Members, only show beam edges which are hidden by
floor (other member) (See Figure 4).
                                                (Figure 4)
3. All Edges, represents edges including 1 & 2 (See Figure 5):

                                               (Figure 5)
You can also find this parameter in concrete column family editor as well.
