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.

    4th International Conference on Sensors, Measurement and Intelligent Materials (ICSMIM 2015) The Analysis and Application of BIM Technology in Design of Steel Structure Joints Kanglong Li1, a, Yuanchu Gan2,b, Guojun Ke & Zhenfu Chen3,c 1University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan, China 2University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan, China 3University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan, China aemail:[email protected] bemail:[email protected] cemail:[email protected] Keywords: Informatization; BIM; ,Modeling; Complex Joints; Steel Structure; Structure design Abstract: Building Information Model (BIM) is the future trend of the building industry. By studying the BIM technology, it could control and manage Life Cycle Cost of building in the Steel Structure Project. Besides, BIM highly integrates the programming, the design, the construction quantity&execution and all the relevant information of operational maintenance after completion. What’s more, BIM is beneficial to improve the quality of design&construction and reduce the cost of project，and BIM also will benefit its application and popularization of Building Industry and contribute to raise the productivity of Building Industry continuously. This article firstly analyzes characteristics of BIM, then it describes modeling system of steel structure joints on the base of BIM, finally it presents the BIM application of steel structure joints. Introduction BIM，called Building Information Modeling，was first proposed by Autodesk Company in 2002. Based on the three-dimensional digital technology with the integration of all kinds of information of the Life Cycle of building project. BIM is an engineering database model and it is the expression of the related digital information of the project [1].As early as 1982, the Garphisoft Company proposed the concept "Virtual Building" and applied it into ArchiCAD in the first place.

    Customer Project with BIM and RFEM Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal Conceptual Design / Architecture in Huntsville, Alabama, USA As the fi rst cross-laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in North America, this four-story, 92 unit hotel serves the lodging needs of the Redstone Arsenal Base. The walls, fl oors/ceilings, stair and elevator shafts feature 56,700 ft3 of CLT material and 1200 ft3 of glulam material. The structure was initially modeled in the 3D-CAD software cadwork. Utilizing the direct interface between cadwork and the structural Structural Analysis analysis software RFEM, the model was then imported as multiple DXF background layers for each level into RFEM. The multi-layer background layers allowed for an easy and effi cient modeling process in conjunction with RFEM’s internal modeling tools. With the use of the add-on module RF-LAMINATE, the Nordic cross-laminated panel properties were defi ned and assigned to all panels in the RFEM model. A full structure analysis was Final Design / Detailing then completed in RFEM including all CLT panels and glulam members.

    Saimaa University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Technology, Lappeenranta Double Degree Program in Construction and Civil Engineering Daria Shuravina Modeling and extraction of technical characteristics of BIM model in program Tekla Bachelor’s Thesis 2012 ABSTRACT Daria Shuravina Modeling and extraction of technical characteristics of BIM model in program Tekla, 28 pages Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, Lappeenranta Faculty of Technology Double Degree program in Civil and Construction Engineering Tutors: Timo Lehtoviita (SUAS), Heikki Järvinen (Oy Juva Engineering Ltd) In this thesis for Oy Juva Engineering Ltd, a quantity survey was made using a building information model. The purpose of the survey was to estimate the price of the construction. The survey was performed on a building model that was created with program Tekla Structures. Tekla Structures is 3D building information modeling (BIM) software used in the building and construction industries for steel and concrete detailing. The software enables users to create and manage 3D structural models in concrete or steel, and guides them through the process from concept to fabrication In the first part of the thesis the main functions and features of the program Tekla Structures were considered. The analysis was made on the base of the model of the football stadium in version 16.1 of program Tekla. This football stadium was made with the help of architectural drawing, which was made in Larkas and Laine OY. In the second part all main structures of the building are considered. They include beams, slabs, columns, walls and others. Every part has its own features, which are also described.
