RVT > SAP > RVT sample file

[bhowes-tt]

Create a sample file that shows how to translate a revit structural model into sap, trigger an analysis, and write some force data from sap back into the Revit model.

We should keep this one very simple, and will probably have to create a project parameter or two to write force data in (in the Revit model).

All of this should be done with our nodes and vanilla dynamo nodes --- no fancy stuff.

I have created a sample file that will allow to read the analytical model of a Revit file and use the family sections to translate the structure into SAP.

We need to add the second part - create a project parameter to write force data in

@anagpuyol - this could be done in Revit using the GUI, no need to do it programmatically in dynamo. We could even write back to an already existing parameter in Revit ... like one of the force parameters on a beam's analytical model, for example. The point is to show that we can accommodate round-trip workflows between Revit and SAP.

We should also be sure to use a pretty minimal Revit file for this - not one of the TT templates - as we will be distributing it as part of the package.
