The key point for structural specialty to participate in BIM design lies in the efficient and qualified data exchange between BIM platform software and structural analysis software, as well as generating qualified engineering drawings. Based on Revit, the most popular BIM software in the construction industry, there are only countable domestic companies in China that have developed the structural aided design software, namely, YJK, Tsz soft, Enwei soft and GSRevit. This paper compares the products of these four companies, and also briefly introduces the current situation of other relevant software companies in China, which may contribute to the decision-making for the structural engineers in BIM design.
