  • Mitcalc Brochure
    MITCalc is a multi-language set of mechanical, industrial and technical calculations for the day-to-day routines. It will reliably, precisely, and most of all quickly guide customer through the design of components, the solution of a technical problem, or a calculation of an engineering point without any significant need for expert knowledge. MITCalc contains both design and check calculations of many common tasks, such as: tooth, belt, and chain gear, beam, shaft, springs, bolt connection, shaft connection and many others. There are also many material, comparison, and decision tables, including a system for the administration of resolved tasks. The calculations support both Imperial and Metric units and are processed according to ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, CSN and Japanese standards. It is an open system designed in Microsoft Excel which allows not only easy user-defined modifications and user extensions without any programming skills, but also mutual interconnection of the calculations, which is unique in the development of tailor-made complex calculations. The sophisticated interaction with many 2D (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD) and 3D (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Solidedge) CAD systems allows the relevant drawing to be developed or 3D models to be inserted in a few seconds. OEM licensing of selected calculations or the complete product is available as well. MITCalc installation packages are available at www.mitcalc.com and after installation customer have 30 days to freely test the product. CAD support 2D CAD systems: Most of the calculations allow direct output to major 2D CAD systems. Just choose your CAD system in the calculation and select the desired view (a projection type).

  • Linking Revit Facility Life-Cycle Data to ARCHIBUS – a Case Study of an Academic Institution
    Available online at 2019.creative-construction-conference.com/proceedings/ CCC 2019 Proceedings of the Creative Construction Conference (2019) 118 Edited by: Miroslaw J. Skibniewski & Miklos Hajdu https://doi.org/10.3311/CCC2019-118 Creative Construction Conference 2019, CCC 2019, 29 June - 2 July 2019, Budapest, Hungary Linking Revit Facility Life-Cycle Data to ARCHIBUS – A Case Study of an Academic Institution Walid Thabeta,*, Dan Millerb aVirginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA bInfrastructure Management Solutions, Vienna, VA 22182, USA Abstract Building owners and facility managers are beginning to leverage spatial information and asset data in BIMs for efficient and sustainable building operations and maintenance. Extracting information from BIMs for import into FM platforms still poses an implementation challenge to many owners. Methods for bi-directional synchronization of data between a BIM and FM software for real-time access to lifecycle model data can be more advantageous over one-way data export approaches so the owner can take advantage of an as-built BIM that can have data updated in real-time with continuous asset data updates. This paper uses a case study of a renovation project on a university campus to illustrate the use of the ARCHIBUS Smart Client for bidirectional real-time data exchange with Revit. The Archibus workflows were compared to other methods for data exchange as to how they support the needs of the owner. Lessons learned and challenges related to this workflow are discussed. © 2019 The Authors. Published by Budapest University of Technology and Economics & Diamond Congress Ltd. Peer-review under responsibility of the scientific committee of the Creative Construction Conference 2019.

Dell’Isola George Aucamp, P.E., CVS, FRICS BSc. CM/PM Senior Vice President Project Manager, Faithful+Gould Inc. Faithful+Gould Inc. 2 Today’s Presentation Introduction Definitions, background and what’s driving the move to BIM Key BIM concepts and benefits BIM and BIM related Software Integrating BIM and cost estimating and project management Project examples Estimating Scheduling Constructability Discussion 3 Background BIM is a complicated and developing subject Connecting BIM to estimating and project management appears to be rather simple – it isn’t Today’s presentation and discussion will focus on procedures, methodology and business processes Technology is important but it is (or should be) a follower not a leader 4 Defining Building Information Modeling (BIM) Per NIBS A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. 5 Why is BIM different from business as usual? BIM represents the shift away from analog/paper processes to digital processes for design, construction and operation. It uses model-based technology linked to an integrated project database. BIM means actually improving the process and not just doing the same things in a new way BIM is not just the electronic transfer of two dimensional documents; it is an intelligent, parametric, object oriented model-based approach.
