“…The sub-category that is most investigated in this area is information integration, using different techniques, such as data warehouse [21], agent-based web services [22], linking data in the cloud [23,24], a relational database and real-time data [25,26], a semantic web ontology [27,28], and using data mining techniques to extract useful information from BIM models to support FM activities during the O &M phase [29,30]. Other studies focused on integrating different technological systems rather than integrating the required FM information, for instance, integrating BIM with RFID tags to capture lifecycle information (Motamedi and Hammad 2009); [31,32], applying machine learning concept and raw sensor data [33], 2D barcode and mobile devices [34], a BIM/GIS-based information extraction (Mignard and Nicolle 2014); [35].…”

“…As a common standard of information exchange, openBIM can not only participate information exchange, but also support information exchange through its standard data transformation. For example, to transform BIM data into a form which can be easily queried, Solihin et al focused on the definition of a schema and transformation rules and proposed a methodology to transform IFC files to the BIMRL schema (an open and queryable database schema), which can realize flexible and efficient queries into the BIM data using standard SQL [61]. Oldfield et al followed a standard BIM approach of first defining the requirements using IDM and then translating the process described in the IDM into technical requirements through the use of MVD.…”

The expansion of scale and the increase of complexity of construction projects puts higher requirements on the level of collaboration among different stakeholders. How to realize better information interoperability among multiple disciplines and different software platforms becomes a key problem in the collaborative process. openBIM (building information model), as a common approach of information exchange, can meet the needs of information interaction among different software well and improve the efficiency and accuracy of collaboration. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no comprehensive survey of openBIM approach in the context of the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) industry, this paper fills the gap and presents a literature review of openBIM. In this paper, the openBIM related standards, software platforms, and tools enabling information interoperability are introduced and analyzed comprehensively based on related websites and literature. Furthermore, engineering information interoperability research supported by openBIM is analyzed from the perspectives of information representation, information query, information exchange, information extension, and information integration. Finally, research gaps and future directions are presented based on the analysis of existing research. The systematic analysis of the theory and practice of openBIM in this paper can provide support for its further research and application.

Referring to CATIA's 'assemblies + parts' modeling method, CATIA-based BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology has been proposed for highway tunnel design in this paper. A tunnel BIM is created by CATIA, which is based on a real case in China, focusing on the following 3 aspects: (1) Creating tunnel bolts by UDF + Loop cyclic arrangement method; (2) Using Sketch Tracer module to create tunnel portal; (3) Parameter is used to create and call the Catalog database. Then, bolt collision inspection and U-shaped groove concrete statistics are conducted with the help of the tunnel BIM created. Finally, the finite element analysis of tunnel construction process is carried out through the CATIA-Midas interface. The results demonstrate that the CATIAbased BIM technology can well adapt to the characteristics of tunnel and have well potential applications in tunnel design.
