Structural modeling plays very important role in improving the strength of building structures and also enables the way of smooth construction process. Know how efficiently it helps in building structures.

BIM is changing the way in which structural engineering firms are analyzing structures with multiple complexities & delivering building projects faster and also help them to meet client expectations.

BIM offers coordination tools that let architects, structural and MEP engineers deal with a venture all the more viably. For instance, by working with the same model as a base, MEP specialists can format their frameworks around the structural model, enhancing coordination. A standout amongst the most valuable instruments accessible is clash detection, which is an incredible approach to diminish blunders via naturally checkingcollisions or interferences between the structural system and the ducts and plumbing systems.

Revit MEP Modeling, since inception, has been delivering an array of options to design ductwork models, however; there are several challenges that sheet metal fabricators face when modelling ductwork in Revit. Ductwork, unique in design for each of the structures and elements expose several challenges while designing.

Revit MEP by Autodesk is an established tool for ductwork modeling that addresses the core elements of a ductwork system, allowing a reasonably sound set of design drawings to be issued. Challenges for fabrication from Revit was a big area of concern, till the time Autodesk started addressing them; and now we see successful fabrication interoperability.

In order to utilize interactive 3D architectural modeling for home design 3D models from series of photographs the 3D modeling team needs to follow a process like Preprocessing, Geometric Reconstruction, Texture Mapping and Blending, Aerial Urban Footage and more..

BluEntCAD uses Revit software to design, develop, draft and 3D model for all types of architectural, structural and MEP projects.

Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures. The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed.

Architects, contractors, occupants and various other stakeholders can easily access the valuable information instantaneously about the building model, as BIM makes it easy for designers to create such intelligent environment. However, the only limitation of such 3D BIM models is that they are prepared basis the amount of information and input fed in the BIM model by the architectural design support team.

Building information modeling is only as good as the information that is fed into it. While using BIM for cost estimation, it is solely an estimator's responsibility to develop information database that is useful for estimation. Cost estimation, i.e. the 5Th dimension of BIM, constitutes of multiple layers of activities, including cost planning, quantity extraction, and verification of - MEP, structural and rebar fabrication models and visualization of series of activities with corresponding accrued costs and verifying the same.

Architectural, Mechanical & Structural shop drawings are the three primary shop drawings required for any construction project. Contractors need construction drawings for residential and commercial projects works such as renovation, retrofitting, construction of new structure and so on so forth. 2D construction drawings from 3d models are useful in making estimate of the building plan.

Surveying firms can capture and scan data into information-rich 3D models to record as-built conditions. 3D parametric models drive visualization in 3D space to identify component connections and structural elements. Accurate documentation, spatial analysis, 360-degree project representation, load calculations, and improved asset identification are some of the benefits delivered by point cloud to BIM. Read this blog post to learn of the significant benefits of point cloud to BIM for surveying companies.

Holistic approach has become the new mantra of architects and engineers worldwide! Building and construction industry is evolving really fast, and therefore, successful development and assembling of structure depends on an inclusive and process-driven approach.Going by these lines

Up until two weeks back, only very digitally savvy people were heard using the term Augmented Reality - AR. Pokemon Go has turned the tables drastically bringing in immense awareness about AR. the truth is that many contractors and architects are experimenting with AR as a visualization tool, which means the technology is already being used in the built environment as part of the architectural and structural design process.

Modelled on the traditional 'nalukettu' typology of Kerala architecture, this Kottayam villa by Studio 3twentyone preserves the vernacular character of the original structure, and reflects a way of life that speaks of artistry, simplicity, and a closeness to nature.

Aytac Architects unveil their design for the DE Museum in Bodrum, Turkey, where the built mass defies typological museum models to be defined by the sum of its many parts, in contrast to a single, monolithic structure.

BIM Can Help Oil and Gas Projects Review Designs with Clients More Easily and Produce Documentation 50% Faster: Oil and gas industry has always had one consistent demand; and that is to build huge complex structures. But the matter doesn’t end here. The engineering and meticulous execution needs both; on site and off site, which becomes impossible to meet manually. Projects that overrun in the oil and gas industries, have deeper cost impacts that extend over the …
