Prota Software produced ProtaBIM, which is a solution for integrating and coordinating Building Information Modeling (BIM). It works perfectly with ProtaStructure, which lets architects and engineers sync structural models with BIM programs like Autodesk Revit.
🔍 Important things about ProtaBIM:
Revit and BIM work together
ProtaBIM works directly with Autodesk Revit, so models may be moved back and forth between ProtaStructure and Revit.
Synchronization of models automatically
You can keep your models up to date by syncing changes between platforms instead of starting over from scratch.
Smart Mapping Tools
Advanced tools for mapping elements and families between Revit and ProtaStructure models that save time and cut down on mistakes.
Export to IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)
Export structural models to the IFC 2×3 format so that architects and MEP engineers can work together in open BIM settings.
Modeling Steel and Concrete Correctly
Includes precise details on steel connections and reinforced concrete, which are essential for high-quality BIM deliverables.
Finding and coordinating clashes
Export models with all the details you need to utilize in applications like Navisworks for planning projects and finding clashes.
Choices for Customization
Set the amount of detail, export options, and Revit family settings to fit your BIM standards.
Follows Local Rules
Works with many international and local design codes, therefore it can be used all across the world.
🧩 Use Cases: Structural engineers working with architects using Revit
Companies that build things do 3D coordination and clash detection.
BIM managers who work with people from other fields
Design teams moving from 2D to fully coordinated BIM processes
🧠 Summary: ProtaBIM connects structural analysis with BIM, making it easier for people to work together, cutting down on duplicate effort, and making sure that analysis and design models are the same.
