The structural engineering community is in for a treat as Autodesk launches a public preview of React Structures, a groundbreaking structural analysis platform tailored specifically for engineers navigating Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. This exciting announcement was made during the NCSEA’s Structural Engineering Summit in Las Vegas, and I’m thrilled to share more about what this means for the future of structural engineering.
Today’s construction industry is evolving rapidly, with engineers, fabricators, and builders increasingly demanding enhanced collaboration to keep up with the growing complexity of projects and shorter construction timelines. This collective need has been termed “BIM to Fabrication,†and it highlights the pressing demand for tools that seamlessly integrate with BIM processes. Structural engineers are looking for software solutions that are both user-friendly and capable of reducing errors and inefficiencies throughout the entire project lifecycle. React Structures is designed to meet these expectations by providing a modern, efficient structural analysis environment that streamlines workflows and enhances productivity.
Our customers have consistently voiced their dissatisfaction with existing structural analysis platforms, citing issues like steep learning curves and poor integration with BIM workflows. These concerns motivated us to build upon the strong foundation of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, creating a tool that is not only powerful but also accessible to a broader range of engineers. React Structures represents a leap forward in structural analysis, offering a completely redesigned workflow-based modeling environment built using cutting-edge software design principles.
One of the standout features of React Structures is its intuitive 3D analysis modeler, which allows engineers to swiftly create accurate analytical models of their designs. During our development phase, we observed a significant reduction—nearly halving—the time required to complete complex tasks such as designing multi-story structures, conducting analyses, and reviewing results. This streamlined approach empowers engineers to make design adjustments more efficiently, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the project lifecycle.
Another exciting aspect of React Structures is its seamless integration with other Autodesk tools, including Revit and Advance Steel. Engineers participating in the tech preview will also have access to experimental connections with Dynamo, a visual programming environment, allowing them to explore innovative ways to enhance their workflows. Furthermore, React Structures supports the analysis of various structural types, from steel and concrete to timber, offering versatility that caters to diverse project requirements.
We invite the structural engineering community to participate in this tech preview and contribute valuable feedback to help shape the future of this innovative platform.
