Hello,
I made an energy analysis in Revit and now I want to import same model in OpenBuildings and do the same.
Is there a way to import in Open Building a model designed in Revit and perform an energy analysis on it?
Have someone done it before?
Regards
Export the model as a .gbXML file and import in Energy Simulator.
Hi Oleg,
Interoperability is one of the strong points of Energy Simulator - you can import floor plans of several formats to trace your model, directly import Hevacomp Design Database models, import architectural models from OpenBuildings Designer using the Analytical Space Model function, and in this particular instance, as Paul refers to, we would suggest importing via gbXML as below:

We are looking to do this on a new project we have. I am no expert in Revit but our revit guy exported various versions of XML files and none of them imported satisfactorily to enable me to use the model to start working on it.
Can you let me have a step by step description on how the XML file needs to be created for the best results on the import.
Happy to arrange another teams meeting to discuss the process with my Revit guy if that works better.
Morning Gary,
We will be happy to assist you on this.
We have found a wiki in our community regarding your concern about importing GBXML directly into OpenBuildings Energy Simulator. Please have a look at this wiki for your reference.
Hope this helps regarding your concern!
Regards,Sayan
