BIM-technologies Applied for Designing a Complex Shape of the Building

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine BIM technologies for engineering and design of modern buildings, as well as investigate problems when applying those BIM technologies and suggest the appropriate ways to rectify them. The researchers designed the university building in their study. They took into account current regulations and ergonomic decisions. The design was carried out based on the Building Informational Model (BIM) technologies by the Revit Structure software. There is already information concerning physical and heat-mechanical properties of materials contained in the software. This technology allows one to step up progress on the designer’s work, lets him create a design model of the building not from scratch, as well as sets the properties of its elements. The university information model is a four-storeyed rectangular building deformed on four sides in the form of a concave lens. This research is devoted to the use of building information modelling and BIM technologies for the design of the genuine architectural and construction concept. Although, they had special difficulty with the import of the information model obtained in Revit Structure into a LIRA SAPR computational scheme.
