Collaboration & Coordination

Essentials of Intelligent 3D modelling

High quality single discipline models Model requirements and intents understood

BIM/Object Modelling packages used? Basic surface/solid modelling methods?

Precise geometric sizes and locations for all objects Objects fully populated with appropriate properties and attributes Information embedded or linked in appropriate and consistent manner
5

Collaboration & Coordination

Benefits of Intelligent 3D modelling

Traditional views/drawings/documents can, if required, be automatically extracted and internally consistent

2D plan, sections,elevations, details

automated schedules, quantities & especifications 4D construction scheduling 3D visualisations of complex areas & perspectives. Sun studies and animations. Extracts of quantities, areas, volumes etc.
6

Collaboration & Coordination

Purposes of digital exchange

3D geometry used for clash detection for Design Phase Creation of Project Life Cycle BIM Model For construction/fabrication for limited trades only for coordination and clash detection For analysis or simulation of building performance

Collaboration & Coordination

Graphic/Visual coordination Dimensional coordination

basis for 3D geometry use and set-out: ACCURACY is CRITICAL! LCA, environmental or estimating analysis software use. Orientation and detail of model elements is critical (e.g. sun studies, lighting analysis with correct information included)
8

Analysis

Model merging for checking/clash detection

Collaboration & Coordination

The common BIM model file data is shared by

two or more project participants in an iterative collaborative process. Much effort is required to:

Establish compatible file formats and workflow Manage versions Organize object selection Manage orientation of models Feedback the information

Collaboration & Coordination

10

Collaboration & Coordination

One-way collaboration

BIM model file is exported to other participants for visualisation, communication, assessment, analysis, simulation or discipline design. Marginally useful

Archi

MEP

Builder

Doesnt allow for feed back loop!

Design is ITERATIVE!

Digital File Formats

Links between applications

ODBC, COM, GDL or MDL DWG, DXF, RVT, DGN, SKP, 3DM, etc. Intelligence is usually lost in this type of translation IFC or CIS/2. Intelligence is retained in this type of translation (hopefully!)

Geometry formats

Open exchange / interoperability formats

XML-based, DATA exchange formats

gbXML, OGC and IFCXML

13

Interoperability
Understanding the different file formats is

essential in managing data flow between disciplines, users and software platforms This is key to unlocking true collaboration between disciplines and teams

RARELY is everyone working on the same platform!

Whats the point?

As a project continues, the software used becomes more robust and complex No project can use a single software platform All programs have their strengths and weaknesses Master 2 platforms that are most important for your industry or interests Be aware of the rest!

Obstacles for BIM

4 distinct areas to

address for implementation

Technical issues Organizational issues Process issues Policy issues

31

Technical Issues
Cost of

Hardware Software

Availability of Skilled workers

Training Investment Experience required

Will improve with time

Increased adoption in the market place

32

Process Issues
Getting past legacy methods

Teaching old dogs new tricks

Discovering new best practices

Industry and firm specific

Schedule Deliverable expectations Contract language

Design/Construction paradigm

33

Organizational Issues

Aiming to do the minimum required by govt. Concern over

Cost of implementation? How will the drawings look?

34

Just get it out now and we will deal with it

later

Organizational Issues

Solutions in:

Government and client mandate Changes in contractual obligation and project schedule

Your

ability to communicate the benefits!

35

Policy Issues
Is the government ready?
Are they doing it Right?

BCA BIM Submission

Deliverables expectations

Statutory requirements for documentation LTA Requirements CP-83 for BIM? How far should the standards go?
36

Development of reasonable standards

BIM Does not exist in a Vacuum

All of these factors can promote or derail our efforts
Contracts

Who Owns The Bim

BIM is cost borne by the design team to the benefit of the builder
Process 1 Extra cost and effort to the design team Mis-alignment of Interests & Priorities Negative effect on: standards timeline BIM deliverables overall success Process 2 Appointed BIM Team and specialist Client & Project benefit from focused interest of BIM team Experienced in: Setting standards Managing information flow Generating valuable BIM Information to the entire team

Tutorial Questions
What are the considerations for planning to

use BIM on a project? What kinds of models are appropriate for what stage of the building process? What are 5 key activities of model management? What are the fundamental 3d concepts that underpin Building Information Modeling? Describe the 4 primary obstacles of BIM implementation
Your answers to these questions will be the basis for our DISCUSSION in Fridays class
