Further, approximately architectural projects. We are attempting to use Revit on all 65% of the respondents said that they think they will have to projects as scope and budgets allow. use BIM to meet client needs within the next two years; almost 80% said within the next five years.

  • Structural BIM Modelling Using Tekla Structures
    Aman Oli Structural BIM Modelling Using Tekla Structures Focus on a Modelling Process of an Office building Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Civil Engineering Bachelor’s Thesis April 2017 Abstract Author Aman Oli Title Structural BIM Modelling using Tekla Structures Number of Pages 34 pages + 5 appendices Date 11 April 2017 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Civil Engineering Specialisation option Sustainable Building Engineering Instructors Sunil Suwal, Senior Lecturer Jorma Säteri, Head of the Degree Programme The main objective of this thesis was to explore the utilization and benefits of BIM with a focus on the structural modelling process and clash detection. Structural BIM tools Tekla Structures (2016) and Solibri Model Checker v9.7 were used for developing a structural model and clash detection, respectively, of an office building. The purpose was to find various underlying benefits of BIM in generating a structural model. Systematic use of different structural tools for the BIM application which focused on modelling and documentation phases were emphasized. BIM was studied from vari- ous perspectives. To test the various tools, an office building was modelled, and an IFC (Industry Foundation Class) file made of it for Tekla Structures. For clash checking, Solibri model checker was used. A step by step guideline for modelling an office building and checking clashes was pre- sented. This thesis can be used for educational purposes and for new Tekla Structures users as a guideline. In addition, engineers working with the Solibri model checker can use this thesis as a reference document. Keywords BIM, structural modelling, Tekla Structures, Solibri Model Checker, COBIM Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences for giving me an opportunity to pursue this degree program.

  • Design of a Single Family House Using BIM Software
    Sandip Rai Design of a Single Family House Using BIM Software Modelling on ArchiCAD & Tekla Structures Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Civil Engineering Bachelor`s Thesis November 2016 Degree Programme Thesis Date Abstract Author(s) Sandip Rai Title Design of a Single Family House Using BIM Software Number of Pages 40 pages + 19 appendices Date 24 November 2016 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Civil Engineering Specialisation option Sustainable Building Engineering Tomi Karppinen, (Senior Lecturer at HAMK UAS) Instructor(s) Jorma Säteri, (Head of Degree Program) The main objective of this Bachelor`s thesis was to create a model of a single family house using different Building Information Modelling (BIM) software. This thesis also aimed to provide the user with a manual for designing concrete structures using ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures. Each and every process of using the software has been clearly explained in this thesis. The theoretical part of the thesis was collected from various articles and websites. It in- cludes information and history about ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures. In addition to this, the advantages of using BIM software for Architects and Structural Engineers have also been presented in this thesis. The practical part of the thesis involves the use of BIM software. The example of BIM soft- ware that was used throughout the thesis is Graphisoft ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures. The thesis explains the methodologies of creating 3D architectural design from 2D draw- ings in ArchiCAD, as well as 3D structural design in Tekla Structures from ArchiCAD IFC model. The solution for linking ArchiCAD model to Tekla software is also explained in the thesis.

  • Tration and Early Project Design CSI's ETABS and SAP for Structural
    ConXCAD is a digital toolset comprised of ConX connections, assemblies and processes that are built on top of common industry BIM platforms. ConXCAD makes it easier for owners, design teams and contractors to collaborate as they design, detail, and construct structures utilizing the ConX Chassis Based Modular™ steel framing system. Typically, design and construction teams representing many different disciplines/companies, are each responsible for specific tasks within a project. ConXtech calls this the “swarm”. Each has their preferred BIM application that suits their particular design or construction tasks. With ConXCAD, all project participants can design and deliver a ConX frame leveraging the BIM software that they are most familiar with, yet still seamlessly exchange the applicable ConX geometry, terminology, and design information (data) between those different BIM applications. That data can also be used through the fabrication and construction phases of a project. By organizing around the ConX centric data rich digital chassis early on, the swarm can more accurately, collaboratively, and efficiently design and plan projects.
