Several benefits of BIM software
 

　　BIM software changes in the future March 7, BIM software in the existing technology has made great progress and gradually updated. It also affects the change of production organization and management mode, and will promote the change of people's thinking mode.

What are the benefits of learning BIM for engineers? How to apply? What else needs attention? What misunderstandings should be avoided? What's the function?

1. Reduce disputes

Traditionally, architects and owners discuss architectural design schemes on design drawings, which may lead to communication and understanding of the above blind spots. As for the three-dimensional information model generated by BIM, all design conditions can be parameterized to form another alternative scheme from different parameter contents. Architects and owners can fully discuss and select the most suitable design scheme To change the positions of both sides from confrontation to coordination, to make communication more clear and transparent, and to reduce the chance of modifying or re overturning the design scheme in the medium term.

2. Work area crossing

In the past, the work content is always clearly divided. The work content between architects and civil engineers is always clearly divided. It is always discussed after a stage. It is impossible to discuss changes anytime and anywhere, and the interfaces are not easy to be clearly separated. As a result, it is possible that the drawings of architects and structural engineers are all right, but when put together, they cannot be closed, It takes quite a lot of time to make changes. However, if BIM concept is used, architects and civil engineers can communicate on the same platform, use the same model, use the same language, and conduct two-way discussion. Such work is like a team, which can achieve good communication, clear interface overlap between disciplines, and reduce the conflict between design contents.

3. Building information integration is consistent

In the past, there was a large amount of data. All kinds of plans, elevations, structural drawings, etc. were in different files. To modify them, the files were always modified separately. After modification, there may be some slight errors. Only after multiple corrections and checks can the correctness of the drawings be ensured. However, if the building information model is used, all the information is in the same model. If there is a change in design, All the information will be changed automatically with the change, and the successive plans, elevations and structural drawings will also be changed together, so that there is no need to correct one by one, save a lot of communication and correction time, and certainly reduce the possibility of errors and omissions.


4. Real time message update

With this interface, it is more convenient for information update. The supervision unit can directly use iPad or mobile phone to compare whether the project has been constructed according to the drawings. If there are incompatibilities between them, mark them immediately, and the whole information will be sent to the integrated interface of BIM. The structural engineer will check whether the safety of the building is affected, and consider whether to change the design, reducing The time of communication, traditionally, when checking is wrong, we need to take the construction drawing to the structural engineer for inquiry, mark on the drawing, discuss whether to modify the design, if necessary, we need to find an architect, the process is quite trivial, so we can see the importance of the platform.


5. Resolve the dead angle of unclear explanation

In the past, using two-dimensional graphics to describe design drawings, some visual dead corners will be difficult to communicate or even cause misunderstandings, resulting in different site and drawings after construction. If BIM three-dimensional building information model is applied in the architectural design process, the three-dimensional space can clearly explain the design drawings, reduce the misunderstanding of communication, and easily detect the conflict section in the design time, For example, pipeline conflict and steel bar conflict can be improved to avoid problems found after construction, and responsibilities can be clarified.
