Using BIM model geometry to create analysis files can save a lot of time and improve accuracy so why isn't it done more? In this post we explore many of the difficulties and show that they can be overcome. 1. Nodes aren't joined This is a common problem when converting a hand created BIM model. …

While it seems logical to use the modelled geometry in analysis models for other purposes (such as BIM), it is currently not common practice. Some of the reasons for this are described in this post and why they can be overcome. 1. It's too hard or is not worth the time for the size of …

Models are increasingly becoming central to engineering workflow and in some cases are even the main deliverable as we move towards a digital future. It is currently common for many models of the same building to be created throughout design, each with a different purpose and using different software. These can include: Architectural modelsAnalysis modelsStructural …
