  • 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.

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.
