“…For instance, the perspective of the "digital twin as an IoT data platform" is heavily influenced by the Industry 4.0 movement from the fields of manufacturing and mechanical engineering [30]. On the other hand, the characterizations of "the digital twin is the representation of a lifecycle asset" or "the digital twin is a process modeling method" seem rather influenced by the notions of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the efforts to develop an equivalent approach for built assets, described in previous studies as Building Lifecycle Management (BLM) [64]. The use of these metaphors indicates practitioners' determination to use existing and improved BIM solutions, by assimilating knowledge from other disciplines, to integrate new information flows with partners across all stages in the lifetime of a built asset.…”

Digital twins have raised the attention of practitioners in the fields of Architecture, Engineering and Construction, and Facilities Management (AEC/FM). The term broadly refers to the cyber part of cyber-physical systems used for representing and managing real-world assets. This qualitative study explores how Finnish AEC/FM practitioners describe digital twins of assets in the built environment. Our findings are primarily derived from the interpretive analysis of semi-structured interviews with project managers and C-level executives during 2018 and 2019. The results of this analysis are discussed within the existing literature about digital twins, complex software ecosystems, and Service-Dominant (S-D) logic. We observed that digital twins were often explained using simple metaphors that could be easily understood by practitioners. We identified seven of such metaphors, each associated with a key attribute of digital twins. We argue that digital twins are the basis of complex software ecosystems, resulting from the increased expectations of AEC/FM stakeholders about the role of Building Information Modeling and other software solutions in their daily operations. Under an S-D logic perspective, digital twins are a resource applied by multiple interdependent actors to integrate information, co-create value for their entire network, and jointly deliver new products or services.

“…The value of BIM beyond the scope of design activities has been covered in previous research [1,12] and more recently, the interest has shifted toward the potential uses of BIM in FM processes such as maintenance and refurbishment [28], or to mitigate the sub-optimal management of information across the entire built environment lifecycle [4,12,28]. Researchers are currently studying how the principles of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) from the manufacturing sector can be adopted by the AEC/FM industry, developing an emerging concept of "Building Lifecycle Management" (BLM) which emphasizes the need for a collaborative management of information throughout the entire building lifecycle, supported by existing and improved BIM solutions [18]. Further studies are needed to assess whether and to what extent these promised BIM benefits have been achieved with existing software solutions.…”

This paper explores how the needs to exchange information across organizational boundaries in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction, and Facilities Management industry in Finland have been satisfied by means of stakeholder integration at the technical, business and socio-organizational levels. We interviewed practitioners about their motivations and goals for inter-organizational integration and observed different discourses. The information exchange needs in the context of individual building projects were often described as "addressed". These needs focused mainly on managing complex stakeholder relations or handling the variable conditions with other building projects. In the scope of the whole built environment lifecycle, the needs were rather portrayed as ongoing problems still "unaddressed". Existing information sources remained inadequate when the benefits of inter-organizational integration had not yet been clarified. The process workflow discontinuities demanded better understanding of the value of information beyond design as well as better coordination. The uncertainty of how much data to collect and for what purposes can be mitigated by defining "useful minimum" information exchange between stakeholders.

“…Ensuring procedures that automate complex tasks, thus improving the management and execution of project activities, can greatly help to reduce development times. Similarly, the creation of digital platforms that incorporate tools and new procedures based on advanced design models could greatly help in collaborative tasks, improving communication and information exchange [ 26 , 27 ]. Building information modeling is a methodology that works with digital 4.0 platforms allowing collaborative work between different agents in construction projects [ 28 , 29 ].…”

New Procedure for BIM Characterization of Architectural Models Manufactured Using Fused Deposition Modeling and Plastic Materials in 4.0 Advanced Construction Environments

et al. 2020

This paper presents a new procedure for the building information modeling (BIM) characterization of structural topologies manufactured with plastic materials and fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive technology. The procedure presented here transforms the architectural geometry into an expanded three-dimensional model, capable of directly linking the topology of the plastic structure with the technological, functional and economic requirements for working in advanced construction 4.0 environments. The model incorporates a new algorithm whose objective is to recognize the topological surface of the plastic structural part obtaining in a fully automated way the FDM manufacturing time as well as the manufacturing cost. The new algorithm starts from the voxelized geometrical surface of the architectural model, calculating the manufacturing time from the full geometric path traveled by the extruder in a voxel, the extruder’s speed, the print pattern and the layer height. In this way it is possible to obtain a complete digital model capable of managing and analyzing the plastic architectural object in an advanced BIM 4.0 environment. The model presented in this paper was applied to two architectural structures designed for a real urban environment. The final structural geometries have been obtained through topological processes in order to reduce the raw plastic manufacturing material and to improve the plastic structure strength. The architectural elements have been validated structurally by the means of numerical simulations, following the scenario of loads and boundary conditions required for the real project. The displacement maps point to a maximum value of 0.5 mm according to the project requirements. The Von Mises stress fields indicate maximum values of 0.423 and 0.650 MPa, not exceeding in any case the tensile yield strength of the thermoplastic material.
