  1. The Need for Data Exchange As computer applications became more numerous in every domain, the need and value for exchange data between systems is an obvious benefit Preparing are report: Word, Photoshop, Illustrator, video clip Preparing a design: 3D Massing, detail construction model, rendering package, various analyses

  2. Evolution of Translator and Exchange Technology 1970s Custom Translators 1980s IGES DXF 1990s ISO-STEP 2000s

  3. What is a Building Product Model? • An electronic database or file • incorproates 3D geometry, possibly presentation geometry • includes functional, material specs, surface information, critical relations, esp. between multiple representations • a standard representation used for exchange between applications (CAD, engr., simulation, production) • interfaces between building aspect models, for system integration, system design/fabrication/assembly

  4. The Basic Definition of the Building Product Model Fabrication Automation Analysis Applications Material/Part Ordering(BOM) Cost Estimation Subsystem detailing Erection Planning Architectural Design Construction Scheduling Site Planning A common data structure that provides two-way exchange between muliple applications

  5. How is a Data Model Defined? 1. Scope defined 2. From process models, derive significant applic.interactions 3. From process models, define entities and attributes 4.Check with applications, to derive needed entities/attributes/structures 5. Define structure how entities are related 6. Test in trial translators 7. Document spec. as an open standard 8. Work with application vendors to implement

  6. IAI Model (IFC2.x) architectural feasibility, design, facility mgmt. PCI-CPM project precast model AISC-CIS/2 Steel Model IAI Architectural Bldg. Model • AISC CIS/2 Model steel design and fabrication • PCI precast concrete design and fabrication project Current IT Efforts to Support Integration Actors Other subs. General Contractor struct. sub Mech. sub Architectural Design consultants Structural Engr Client Program MEP Engr Phase

  7. What does CIS/2 mean to a design or fabrication shop? Production Planning Steel Detailing CIS/2 Structural Steel Language • Fast design coordination • Faster detailing/engineering • fabrication automation

  13. XML and Product Models Business and product information design in text Business processes XML Design/Engineering/Manufacturing processes EXPRESS-based product model Complex engineering data, including geometry, behavioral properties, layout

  14. Some Example Types of Exchange Complex Exchanges: Design Application1 Design Application2 Design & Analysis Application3 Data Repository Design Application4 Analysis Application5 Analysis Application6

  15. General Strategies for Exchange • Criteria for selection: • real-time vs. asynchronous exchange • passing data vs. algorithms • narrow vs. wide semantic domain • internal network vs. Web-based open exchanges • total passing of dataset vs. repository with incremental additions and extractions • who will be responsible and maintain exchange SW?

  16. Some Example Types of Exchange • Many possible ways to carry out Building Data Exchange: • write to, then read from an ASCII file in some agreed upon format (DXF, IGES, STEP Part 21 file format) • pass data between programs as C++ objects, wrapped as CORBA or COM objects (used in Intranet and file server networks) • pass data in HTML or XML across Web (being used in e-commerce efforts) • send JAVA objects that carry exchange data (approach being developed by Bentley)
