BIM Design Engineering & Optimization

BIM Design Engineering & Optimization. We build intelligent BIM Models to support designing of complex building systems with improved efficiency. This gives all stakeholders a clear idea of design intent enabling them to modify the design to achieve the outcomes they want, thus minimizing risk of costly changes later.

We follow SMACNA, ASHRAE, IPC, CANBIM and other appropriate standards for design work process. Different design options are simulated and analyzed to develop efficient and cost-effective solutions.

 

CHALLENGE – Optimization implementation in the construction industry is still uncommon, and design practitioners usually follow general guidelines. An integrated, parametric and a multi-objective design is needed to improve productivity, quality and sustainability, as well as reduce cost and waste in the building process. BIM, or Building Information Modelling, incorporates methods and tools to integrate, simplify, rationalize and economize the entire design process.

SOLUTION –  The test case is a structural optimization of a steel building using an optimization procedure in ??? . A good compromise between a light structure at low cost is searched for, with the rapid generation and evaluation of a large number of design alternatives. In this case, the objectives are to minimize stress rate, max displacement, and total weight of the structure. AutoDesk Revit is used to find optimal structural configurations integrated with ???.

BENEFITS – The adoption of automated optimization in the building industry is a worthwhile goal, even if there are important issues to be addressed. Conclusions show substantial cost saving using the proposed methodology. Optimization using a ??? workflow can first be offered to the building industry as a specialized service to become a more common practice in the following
