Explore connected ‘Structural design to fabrication’ workflows for mixed-material project Optimize collaboration by sharing projects intelligently between engineers, designers,

technical detailers, and fabricators Use Revit as the central project hub Update Revit project with geometric and FEM results data (needed later in BIM to

automate processes) Reinforced Concrete:

Use FEM data to automate reinforcement cages and documentation using Reinforced Concrete BIM Designers for Revit

Adapt structural elements to accommodate openings for MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) services proposed late in the design stage

Steel: Develop the structure and add connections in Revit and validate the design

Transfer to Advance Steel for adding fabrication level detail and exporting production formats

Send project to steel fabrication management software Advance Workshop to optimize production

Review production status visually in Advance Steel

Class summary

At the end of this class, we want you to be able to:

Use Revit as a central model in a structural BIM workflow for steel and

concrete

Round-trip project sharing using synchronization

Effectively re-use engineering BIM DATA to rapidly design and document

reinforcement concrete frames in Revit

Streamline design to fabrication project handover

Key take-aways

Data Data Data (BIG Data)

The reason the construction industry should be excited

about data is the potential of doing activities faster

and better than was possible before!

BIM to Fabrication for

Reinforced Concrete

1. Collaborative common data environments (level 2 BIM)

Three important factors

Level 2 BIM is distinguished by collaborative working – all parties use their

own 3D CAD models, but not necessarily working on a single, shared

model. The collaboration comes in the form of how the information is

exchanged between different parties – and is the crucial aspect of

this level. Design information is shared through a common file format,

which enables any organisation to be able to combine that data with their

own in order to make a federated BIM model, and to carry out interrogative

checks on it…

2. Data (Information) is KEY
