Get A Sustainable Design With Bim Modelling
The Building Information Modeling
(BIM) concept has been universally accepted by building services, structural
engineers and architectural fraternity, mainly because of its need for lean
construction and cross-sectional user-friendliness. BIM Modelling
has been around for a number of years now, and the industry is aggressively
adapting to accommodate the new workflows of the BIM process; However, owners
(customers) still do not know exactly what they can get from these models, what
they need to achieve and how best to use this concept.
BIM Modelling for Structural
Engineers uses this same approach for the entire structural engineering
process. The virtual structural model of the engineer can be used for
coordination with architects, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers and
civil engineers. This same digital model is integrated with analysis, design,
and construction documentation, and serves as the foundation for strategies and
construction from design to digital manufacturing. With BIM, structural
engineers have the ability to track quantities of materials and explore design
options that lead to more sustainable design.
Autodesk Revit Structure software
is at the heart of the BIM Modelling process. BIM and Revit Structure enable
structural engineers to minimize waste and maximize material reuse. With Revit
Structure, structural engineers study building design options for long-term use
and future flexibility, optimizing design efficiency and minimizing waste and
overall embodied energy. The rich intelligent information generated by a BIM
Modelling process can also be used for simulation and analysis, enabling
structural engineers to make more informed decisions and optimize the structure
for durability, flexibility and long term use.
