BIM for Structural Engineers and Fabricators
The final year project aimed at analyzing the advantages of Building Information Modeling for structural engineers and fabricators. In order to reach the goal, the final year project started with a definition Building Information Modeling (BIM), an analysis of the differences between Building Information Modeling process and Computer-Aided Design process as well as an introduction of BIM advantages based on the model, including schedule planning, schedule analysis, clash detection, cost estimation and facility management. The benefits of BIM for structural engineers and fabricators was emphasized in the second part of the project with the use of Tekla Structures software which is one of the BIM software. With the design features provided by Tekla Structures software, a 3D structural model of pre-engineered building was created to see how beneficial BIM tool is for structural engineers and various different types of drawings generated from the model to analyze how it would be valuable for fabricators. The drawings, such as assembly drawing, contain useful information needed for fabrication process, resulting in reducing unnecessary waste of construction materials in the future. The thesis can be used for both people who are interested in Building Information Modeling and for structural engineers with an aim of getting to know Tekla Structure software and how the structural modeling process progresses on the software.
