What is Building Information Modeling (BIM)
ideCAD, which includes fully integrated architecture, reinforced concrete and steel, shortens the project design time with its system that allows sharing the same building information model, and the possibilities of creating, reviewing and editing the project together. While the changes made by different disciplines are revised within the same building information model, efficiency also increases.
BIM ; Architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other disciplines work together to prepare the Building Information Model at the design stage, including the mechanical characteristics of the visual materials and materials to be used, and to reduce the time and material losses that will occur during construction, and at a more advanced level, the building has not yet It is the name of the process that ensures that possible construction errors are prevented by making conflict checks before starting the construction.
BIM Process with a more detailed expression; Architectural design , Visualization , Structural analysis , Reinforced concrete design , Steel Design , Nonlinear analysis , Design of steel connections , Drawings and manufacturing details , Quantity and cost calculations . Reporting and documentation covers the work flows related to the structure, especially Reinforcement.
In this process, ideCAD provides full automation in Architectural and Static projecting, visualization and detailing.
ideCAD MEP, which will be used in the mechanical and electrical projecting part, is still in the planning stage. For this purpose, a ready macro has been added to the program to create a rain downpipe in terms of plumbing.
What is BIM
BIM Building Information Modeling is a concept that is formed by bringing the initials of the words together. Its full Turkish equivalent is translated as Building Information Modeling. So what is Building Information Modeling (BIM)?
It is the name of my system that collects all information about a Structure in a common model and transforms it into a model. It is a process that starts when the building does not exist, only when there is a land, and continues as long as the construction is completed and used. There are also many areas of expertise that provide the services in this process. And also in this process, there are software (computer programs) that these areas benefit from.
The most important stages of this process in terms of both Turkey and other countries; Architectural projecting Static reinforced concrete calculations Application drawings can be listed as Visualization.
According to the "Building Information Modeling", which has been defined before, all of these stages should use the Building Information Model.
It is possible to make this sharing without any loss of information, but only by collecting all the information in a single center. This ideYAPI Information Model is completely possible in Architectural Static Reinforced Concrete Visualization and Drawing stages. For processes that cannot be done with ideYAPI programs at this stage, sharing can also be done with the internationally accepted IFC Model.
What is the BIM process
It is possible to talk about two main streams for Bim Processes in the World. One is information sharing through IFC, which we call “Open BIM”, and the other is Native (that is, using the natural Same Building Information Model Directly) ideYAPI Information model Native, that is, natural lossless information sharing
What is BIM used for
BIM is used to create Architectural designs, Structural analysis and structural designs and to detail Application projects. The structure is modeled down to the last detail in BIM. Using the design options, the model can be used to create visualizations that help stakeholders understand what the structure will look like before implementation. This model is then also used to create details for the construction phase.
