Building Information ModelingBy Jacqueline Greiner

History

• Drawings • AutoCAD• BIM

Autodesk BIM 360

CAD BIM

About BIM

• Three-dimensional, virtual representation of a design project

• Adds fourth dimension of time and fifth dimension of cost

• “Cloud” allows different members of cross-functional team to work on the project in one place

USES OF BIM 360

Collaboration and Access

Simulation Visualization

• Clash detection and coordination

• Conceptual design and feasibility evaluation

• Field management

• Mechanical simulation

• Air, fluid, flow, and thermal comfort

• Energy analysis• Structural analysis

• Rendering

Users of BIM

• Architects • Engineers (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, etc.)• Construction Personnel • Cost Estimators

Benefits of BIM

• Accuracy and Coordination • Consistent Views• Effective communication amongst users

• Time and Cost • Early detection of problems

Future Possibilities

• Green BIM• Utilization of BIM helps make buildings more sustainable• Example: sunlight and temperature control

• Mockups • A headset would allow one to walk into an empty room and

get a virtual feel of what the room will look like upon completion
