Description

Mendoza, Ryan Justine H. CAD 001B-ECE 12S2 Assignment #3: BIM What is BIM? Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that begins with the creation of an intelligent 3D model and enables document management, coordination and simulation during the entire lifecycle of a project (plan, design, build, operation and maintenance). BIM is used to design and document building and infrastructure designs

List of BIM softwares:

1.) Vector Works Architect

2.) Tekla Structures

3.) SketchUp

For creatives and designcentric employees, it’s hard to imagine a better BIM than Vectorworks Architect. This BIM software has design at its core, with some of the best modeling, drafting, and documentation capabilities of any BIM on the market. Advanced 3D modeling is where Vectorworks Architect stands out from the crowd, giving architects and design purists tools to stretch their imagination.

Civil and structural engineering is where Tekla Structures shines. Tekla Structures was created by software giant Trimble, and based on a steel structural modeling software called XSteel. Trimble has kept steel and architectural design at the core of Structures, while incorporating glass, wood, concrete, and other building materials.

The most popular 3D modeling and design tool in the world, SketchUp users model everything from treehouses to intricate, energy-efficient buildings. Owned by Trimble Inc., an entrepreneurial company focused on leveraging technology to change how the way the world works, SketchUp is both intuitive and powerful for professionals and creatives of all kinds. The suite of tools within the program enhances workflows and creative concepts across a variety of industries including architecture, engineering, construction, woodworking, interior design, film, and much more. Popular products like 3D Warehouse, LayOut, and SketchUp Viewer are what make SketchUp tick. Design it, make it and enjoy the process.

Tekla Structures is well suited for large-scale industrial projects that need their BIM to help manage construction materials and resources. It’s been used to design projects from bridges and airports to sports stadiums and mega-malls.

4.) Archicad Archicad is a professional building information modeling software solution complying with all digitaldelivery requirements, offering an intuitive design environment, accurate building information management, open collaboration and automated documentation. An improved Integrated Design workflow and enhanced collaboration between project stakeholders make Archicad an even stronger tool for uniting architects and engineers in a shared model.

5.) SolidWorks Electrical 3D SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D enables you to place electrical components and use SOLIDWORKS routing technology to automatically interconnect electrical design elements within a 3D model. 2D schematics and 3D models are synchronized bidirectionally in real time so any changes are automatically updated.

6.) Allplan Allplan Architecture is objectoriented 3D design software. Allplan Architecture supports architects and designers from presentation of the initial draft to the production of working drawings and detailed design layouts, as well as construction cost planning.

7.) The Wild

8.) MicroStation

The Wild is an immersive remote collaboration platform that uses virtual and augmented reality to enable AEC, design, and enterprise teams to save time and make better decisions by experiencing their work together, immersed in a shared virtual space. With native support for SketchUp and Revit, The Wild aims to shape the future of collaboration by connecting people and their ideas across distance into a shared experience. For more information, visit thewild.com.

MicroStation’s advanced parametric 3D modeling and intelligent drafting capabilities enable infrastructure professionals of any discipline to collaborate on and deliver projects of any scale and complexity. You and your team can aggregate work in MicroStation, including designs and models created with Bentley’s disciplinespecific modeling applications. As a result, you can create comprehensive, multi-discipline BIM models, documentation, and other deliverables. MicroStation and all Bentley BIM applications are built on the same comprehensive modeling platform. You therefore can easily progress your MicroStation work into discipline-specific workflows with Bentley’s design and analytical modeling applications. With this flexibility, each member of your project team has exactly the right application for the work they need to do.

9.) IrisVR IrisVR is the leading software for immersive design review and collaboration in virtual reality. It is used by BIM and VDC teams, design firms, and engineers who coordinate 3D models and implement design and construction processes. Because IrisVR integrates with Revit, Rhino, Navisworks, SketchUp, and other 3D tools out of the box, you can instantly create an immersive VR experience that allows you to present to clients and work more effectively with your team. IrisVR offers a desktop product called Prospect that works with the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows MR headsets, as well as a mobile product called Scope that is compatible with the Samsung GearVR, Google Daydream, and Cardboard.

10.) DataCAD DataCAD is a professional-level Architectural CADD program for design, presentation, and documentation. DataCAD is one of the few software applications that are developed specifically for Architects, and it is the only CADD software ever to be endorsed by the American Institute of Architects (ca. 1987). Originally developed by an architectural firm more than 30 years ago, DataCAD is one of the stalwarts of the CAD industry.
