Today, the process of building an enterprise is based on printed and disconnected documents. There is a global tendency that a project is designed by many companies and different teams, however computer tools used in present time are the same from decades ago. Due to the chang in paradigm, the methodology known as building information modeling (BIM) is little by little finding space in the area of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Moved by the process of transition, this research aims to study and evaluate the integration between a BIM modeling platform and a tool for structural analysis. In order to achieve the expected result, it was used a structural project of a real enterprise, first using traditional methodologies, or in other words, based on 2D indepenendent documents. The project was modeled in 3D with an integrated database according to BIM, with the support of the software Autodesk Revit Structure 2012. The model was then exported to the software for structural analysis Autodesk Robot 2012. Strategies for integration are tested and the best practices are described in detail. The results found suggest the use of the methodology in structural analysis is promising, and its implementation must be seriously considered in Brazil.
