President, and Oiairman John F. Akers Number of Employees 344,396 • Number of IBM CAD/CAM/CAE Specialist and Marketing Personnel More than 9,500 worldwide The winds of change are blowing in Armonk at gale force 9. John F. Akers has resigned as CEO after seven years at tiie helm, and the hot seat is scheduled to be filled before ttie end of May. President Jack Kuehler and GFO Frank Metz also have stepped aside. 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. IBM's $15 billion operation, about five times the size of Microsoft in software sales, is difficult to character ize. The organizational chart (see Figure 1) illtistrates some of the com plexity and diverse nature of this business. -
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. -

But a survey conducted in 2008 by the Structural Bartolomucci: We have already implemented and used Revit Engineering Institute’s BIM Committee, in collaboration with Structure for about two years on many projects. Revit has the Structural Engineers Association of Texas’ IT Committee, been used on a majority of structural projects and several indicates that more than half of structural engineering firms at least have BIM software at their offices. 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. (The survey was sent to Khanzode: Revit/BIM is in regular use at DPR, and we are using more than 15,000 SEI members and received more than 700 it on about 70 total projects across the company. -

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.
