Análise comparativa entre o uso de rotinas em Dynamo e os métodos nativos na elaboração de projetos elétricos em Revit.

Abstract

The technological advances in the construction industry have driven the search for more agile, accurate, and integrated methods, in which efficient information management has become essential. In this context, Building Information Modeling (BIM) transforms the way projects are developed by enabling multidisciplinary data to be incorporated into intelligent digital models, promoting a comprehensive and coordinated view of the building. Autodesk Revit, one of the most widely used software tools in this field, enables the parametric modeling of architectural, structural, and building services projects, facilitating integration among different disciplines and increasing project reliability. Despite Revit’s advanced functionalities, the development of electrical projects using only native commands still presents challenges, especially those related to repetitive and manual tasks. These procedures require considerable time and pose a high risk of errors, negatively impacting productivity and information reliability. In this scenario, with the objective of verifying the effectiveness of visual programming and the optimization of electrical projects, this study proposes a comparison between native methods and the use of Dynamo, a software developed by Autodesk to enable visual programming within Revit. Dynamo emerges as a visual programming solution, offering the possibility to automate processes, create more efficient workflows, and reduce the incidence of human errors. The study consists of the development of an electrical project for a triplex using both methods, with each activity being timed in order to perform a comparative analysis of the two methodologies. In total, five (05) programming routines were used, resulting in a time gain of three (3) hours and fourteen (14) minutes in the total project duration. Thus, the study contributes to the understanding of the potential of automation in electrical projects, demonstrating how the integration of Dynamo with Revit can optimize processes, reduce rework, and raise quality standards in contemporary civil construction.
