BIM Workflow: Different approachesSlide 25/31

MODEL 1:

Small design team working on a small-

scale project.

Often the same person is using both Revit

and FEM-Design.

Model is well adjusted (often while being

created).

Usually no issues with data exchanged.

MODEL 2:

Big companies working on a large-scale

project.

Different design teams are using the same

model.

Analytical model is often adjusted as a last

More issues arising when trying to correct a

large model.

Interested in exporting basic loads.

INTERESTS Interested in update mechanisms.

Interested in importing FD model to Revit.

Interested in using data from stuxml file

for internal purpose.

INTERESTS

BIM Workflow: real exampleSlide 26/31

1. Complex Revit model 2. Structural model 3. Analytical model

4. Fix the analytical model

5. Export the model

7. Perform analysis in

FEM-Design

8. Update

FEM-Design

6. Correct the model

and repeat the export
