    Description

    A carefully planned BIM workflow enabled the design team to create both coordination and structural analysis models for a structure with highly complex geometry extremely fast and efficiently. Using AutoCAD® as a central hub of geometric definitions, the design team was able to communicate seamlessly between Rhinoceros®, Revit®-based software, and SAP2000®. This resulted in the architecture, coordination, and analysis models all matching each other perfectly while also making it easy to track changes and update the models as the design progressed.

    Key Learnings

    • Set up a BIM workflow process using modern design tools such as Revit-based software and AutoCAD
    • Explain the benefits of establishing an efferent BIM workflow early in the life of a project
    • Describe how modern technologies can be used to develop communication between structural analysis and coordination models
    • Explain how the integration of various programs can be used to achieve multiple technical and coordination goals
