LiveLink™ for Revit® Updates
For users of LiveLink™ for Revit®, COMSOL Multiphysics® software version 5.4 brings support for synchronizing read-only parameters. Read more about the LiveLink™ for Revit® update below.
Support for Synchronizing Read-Only Parameters
Mass parameters that are controlled by an equation in the Revit® model can now be transferred during synchronization. These parameters are treated as read-only parameters and are available for use in a COMSOL Multiphysics® model. The values of these parameters cannot be changed inside the model, but they are updated with each synchronization based on the changes in the Revit® model.
The h1 mass parameter is controlled by an equation in this Revit® project.
After synchronization, the h1 mass parameter appears in the Read-only parameters table and the associated global parameter, LL_h1_concert_hall, can be used in the simulation setup.
Updated Support for New CAD File Format Versions
The CAD file import and export functionality has been extended to support new versions for the following file formats:
