BIM Design Evolution for Structural Engineers
Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps to provide accurate and cost-effective solution for Structural Engineers. The model creation validates the design for constructability of various structures like columns, beam depths and more. Moreover, analysis of detailed structural elements is made for project delivery in a risk free environment. BIM services for structural engineers are often intended for various residential and commercial constructions. Keys BIM services for structural engineers include design development support & coordination, 3D Modeling , drawing set creation/construction documents as well as quantity take-off and cost estimate. Various software applications like Revit Structure, AutoCAD, Bentley and Tekla are used in the process of model creation for structural trade. Let’s now have a look at the various stages of Design evolution for Structural Engineers through BIM: Schematic Design – An initial design stage defines general project scope including re
