For example, Revit is part of the Building Design Suite and includes functionality for all disciplines, architecture MEP and structure. Revit Architecture is a stand-alone product that only includes the architectural functionality.
Revit Architecture specific tools can be found on the 'Architecture' tab. It is all about the build environment. Revit Structure specific tools can be found on the 'Structure' tab. They are also about the built environment but includes tools for analysing and graphically presenting loads in the structure.
