Autodesk Revit Structure allows structural engineers to more efficiently
and flexibly create quality construction documentation by integrating a
physical model -- for layout, coordination, and documentation -- with
independently editable analytical models for materials including steel,
precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete , masonry and wood.

The "operational view" is a description of the tasks + activities,
operational elements, and information flows required to accomplish or support
a military operation. The "technical view" provides the minimal set of
