Release Date: 15th December 2023

Release Name: iTwin Analytical Synchronizer 23.01.03

Release Version: 23.01.03.042

Notable changes in this release of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer include the addition of Tapered Walls, Load Combinations, and support for Tapered Members.

REVIT 2024

This update of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer incorporates the latest plugin to support REVIT 2024. The installed component is backwards compatible with REVIT 2022 and REVIT 2023.

For Revit users, only one download and installation of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer is required, the latest plugin to support REVIT is already built in.

Tapered Walls

This update of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer includes API updates to support Tapered Wall object types. Previously, only walls of uniform thickness were supported. Now, retaining walls and in particular Water Treatment Structures with wall thicknesses that vary along the height of the wall can be represented and benefit from this data type addition.

Tapered Members
This update of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer includes update to represent Tapered Members in cloud workflows. This addition of Tapered members particularly benefits SACS/Offshore interactions with Bentley Infrastructure Cloud. Previously models with tapered members can only be viewed via File based workflows. Now, both File and Cloud base synchronization workflows involving models with Tapered members can be viewed in both iTwin Analytical Synchronizer and the web browser respectively.

Load Combinations

This update of iTwin Analytical Synchronizer includes API updates to support Load Combinations as first-class citizens (for Cloud based workflows). Previously, only primary load cases were supported, and required user’s manual duplication between applications.

Workflows involving multiple analysis applications with hundreds or thousands of load combinations (manual or auto-generated) will benefit from load combinations support, in that an analysis application downstream can reuse the load combinations defined in an upstream application without manual reentry. With this enhancement, in addition to the underlying structural design intent, loads, load cases and load combinations will all be transferred via cloud-based workflows.

One example workflow that would benefit involves in-place structure and sea transportation structures utilizing both STAAD, SACS and iTwin Analytical Synchronizer where it is common practice to involve large number of load combinations.
