STRUCTURAL BIM WORKFLOW FROM DESIGN TO FABRICATION www.topbimcompany.com
WHAT IS STRUCTURAL BIM? • Structural BIM is the process of creating and managing digital models of structural systems within a building or structure. • These models contain information about the structural components, their properties, and how they interact with other systems within the building. • Structural BIM is used by structural engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to design and analyze the building's structural systems.
THE INDUSTRY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE • According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global market for BIM software is expected to grow from $4.9 billion in 2020 to $8.8 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.
IN THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INDUSTRY • BIM is becoming an increasingly essential tool. According to a survey by Engineering News-Record, 68% of structural engineers used BIM on more than half of their projects in 2020, compared to 58% in 2018. • The implementation of Structural BIM workflows can lead to significant cost savings, with one report estimating that the use of BIM can reduce construction costs by up to 20%. • These statistics demonstrate the growing adoption of Structural BIM in the construction industry and highlight some of the benefits associated with its use.
HOW BIM CAN HELP STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS? Structural engineers play a critical role in the construction process. They are responsible for the BIM structural design and analysis that support the building or structure. BIM can help structural engineers in several ways: • Structural Analysis: BIM software can be used to analyze the structural systems and ensure that they are safe and efficient. This can be done in real-time, allowing engineers to make adjustments and optimizations as needed. • Clash Detection: BIM software can detect clashes between different building systems, such as structural and MEP systems. • Detailed Documentation: BIM software enables the creation of detailed documentation for the structural systems. This documentation can include 3D models, construction drawings, and material schedules. • Fabrication: BIM software can be used to create detailed fabrication models for the structural systems. These models can be used to generate shop drawings and CNC files, which can be used to manufacture the structural components off-site.
STRUCTURAL BIM WORKFLOWS FROM DESIGN TO FABRICATION • BIM software such as Autodesk, Tekla, and Graphisoft ArchiCAD are used throughout the entire workflow, enabling stakeholders to collaborate and share information.
BENEFITS OF STRUCTURAL BIM IMPROVED COLLABORATION 01 Structural BIM allows architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to collaborate more effectively. It provides a common digital environment where stakeholders can share information and make decisions together. ENHANCED DESIGN QUALITY 02 Structural BIM enables the creation of detailed 3D models that can be used to detect and resolve design conflicts before construction begins. This helps to ensure that the building is designed to the highest quality standards. INCREASED EFFICIENCY 03 Structural BIM enables the creation of accurate and detailed construction documentation. This reduces the time and cost associated with creating and revising documentation. IMPROVED SAFETY 04 Structural BIM allows designers to analyze the structural systems for safety and performance. This helps to identify potential safety hazards and prevent accidents on the construction site. BETTER SUSTAINABILITY 05 Structural BIM enables the creation of more sustainable buildings. The ability to analyze and optimize structural systems can lead to significant energy savings and reduced environmental impact.
