Document created: 18 / 07 / 2017 SCIA Engineer 17.0 - 8 - Introduction to exchange of data Introduction to exchange of data Practically every design of a construction is an iterative process of refining, reviewing, changing architectural, engineering or building (fabrication) details. Therefore, a "roundtrip" solution, where a designer or detailer can start or edit the model at any stage, is closest to reality and will lead to the shortest time between design and fabrication or building. Reverse engin- eering reconstructs the design model from the CAD geometrical model, again an extra benefit. "Roundtrip" engineering is drastically improving the design process; it is the most advanced implementation of Building Information Modelling technology. Integrated open general CAE-CAD platforms provide customized solutions without the necessity of dedicated programming. Ease of use and far going automation are key elements of the success.

This capability opens the user new horizons. He/she can share data with the colleagues. He/she can add into the currently processed project parts from older projects (and thus save considerable amount of time). The work on one large project can be split among several users and the final model can be "glued" from several parts. SCIA Engineer import The procedure to import data from .ESA file 1. Open service Structure. 2. Start function Advanced input - Import project (esa file). 3. Browse for the required input file. 4. Confirm the file. 5. Input the "point of insertion" for the imported data. Note: Contrary to imports through other formats, this time the specified file is added to the currently edited project. SCIA Engineer export The procedure to export data into .ESA file 1. Start menu function File >Export>New projectESA. 2. Specify the required output folder. 3. Type the name of the file (i.e. the base name without extension). 4. The Import/Export dialogue is opened on the screen. 5. Specify which types of data are to be exported (only geometric entities or the whole model).¨ 6. Complete the export operation. SCIA Engineer update This function enables the user to exchange and share project data with colleagues who use SCIA Engineer as well. The principle is simple.

More cuts in head count are expected, mostly targeted in the sales, general, and administrative areas. For the first time, hardware revenue has dropped below 50 percent of total revenue, with a decline in revenue growth of » 10 percent. Fortvmately, the nonhardware-related revenue is increasing and the growth rate is positive. The rate of change in this company is beyond imagination, but the company is weathering the storm and will evolve into a more agile and aggressive operation. The next six months will define the future of 3M as a world leader in the computer business. The software component of IBM business is aimed at the full spectrum of business and technical applications.

  • BIM Tools and Parametric Modeling
    CHAPTER2 BIM Tools and Parametric Modeling 2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This chapter provides an overview of the primary technology that distinguishes BIM design applications from other CAD systems. Object - based parametric modeling was originally developed in the 1980s. It does not represent objects with fi xed geometry and properties. Rather, it represents objects by parame- ters and rules that determine the geometry as well as some non - geometric properties and features. The parameters and rules allow the objects to auto- matically update according to user control or changing contexts. In other industries, companies use parametric modeling to develop their own object representations and to refl ect corporate knowledge and best practices. In architecture, BIM software companies have pre- defi ned a set of base building object families for users, which may be extended, modifi ed, or added to. An object family allows for the creation of any number of object instances, with forms that are dependent on parameters and relationships with other objects. Companies should have the capability of developing user - defi ned parametric objects and corporate object libraries for customized quality control and to establish their own best practices. Custom parametric objects allow for the modeling of complex geometries, which were previously not possible or simply impractical. Object attributes are needed to interface with analyses, cost estimations, and other applications, but these attributes must fi rst be defi ned by the fi rm or user. Current BIM tools vary in many ways: in the sophistication of their prede- fi ned base objects; in the ease with which users can defi ne new object families; BIM Handbook: A Guide to Building InformationModeling for Owners, Managers,Designers, Engineers, and Contractors.

    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.
