    Structural Navigator

    Review Structural i-models on iPad, iPhone, or Android

    Download HereDownload for iOS     Download HereDownload for Android

    Structural Navigator is the ideal app for the mobile review of 3D structural models. Structural Navigator allows designers to view, query, and mark up structural models in 3D from anywhere using a mobile device. The current version is available for iOS and Android devices. The release notes for the latest version can be found here.


    With Structural Navigator users can:

    • Navigate 3D models using zoom, rotate, pan, walkthrough, and flyover commands
    • Color code elements within the model according to specific properties (for example, slab thickness, pipe diameter, etc.)
    • Filter models based on members with common member attributes
    • Check for clashes between different types of objects
    • Add markups with status, due date, responsible party, and additional information
    • Interactively query members for all property values

    Structural Navigator reads Bentley’s i-model format, to which any ISM repository can be easily converted with a single operation.

    The process is simple. Build a data-rich ISM repository using any Bentley ISM-compliant applications desired, convert the ISM repository to i-model, and then review in Structural Navigator. Structural Navigator can read models from STAAD, RAM, SACS, AECOsim, Revit, Tekla, and ProStructures, once they are converted to i-model.

    Creating and Viewing an ISM Model on iPad/iPhone 

    Step I: Creating an ISM Model

    The starting point for all the models that you can view in Structural Navigator is an ISM repository produced from any of your desktop structural products. This video shows how to create an ISM model from just one of the many ISM enabled applications. All ISM enabled applications function in much the same way.

    Step II: Publishing an i-model

    Starting with an ISM model the free Structural Synchronizer desktop application is used to create the i-model which can be saved locally and also published to the Bentley Cloud Services Personal Share space. The i-model can be sent from the desktop to the Apple device any number of ways. Using the Bentley Cloud Services Personal Portal is the simplest way.

     

    Step III: Viewing i-models on iPad


    On the iPad/iPhone the i-model can be opened by selecting the file in any of the delivery systems (email, DropBox, etc.) and choosing to open with the Structural Navigator App. Files may also be opened by simply starting the app, and opening the file from the Personal Share.
