Študija uporabe interoperabilnosti BIM z implementacijo delotokov za modeliranje

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has unique advantages and potential in structural engineering. Its methodology supports collaborative work based on the centralisation of all information in the federated BIM model and an efficient level of interoperability between BIM-based platforms. However, for structural modelling, analysis and design workflow, the interoperability capacity of the most used software presents limitations that must be resolved with immediate solutions. These significant challenges hinder implementing BIM workflows in a structural BIM design office. This study seeks to analyse the process of transferring structural models and data between modelling, structural analysis, and design tools while developing a unique workflow for implementation within these tools, BIM platforms, and design teams. A case study has been developed to test a practical interoperability workflow between Trimble Tekla Suite (Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Structure, and Tekla Tedds), SCiA Engineer, Revit, and IDEA StatiCa. This is to identify and fix the limitations involved in the transfer processes of data flow between these specific structural BIM software. The information and model transfer processes are bilateral, using the native data format and the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), the universal standard data transfer format. Structural BIM modelling and design maturity are relatively underutilised. This is mainly due to interoperability problems. Despite the identified limitations and challenges, the study outcomes within the case study development illustrate how the workflow has excellent advantages in developing structural BIM projects and its implementation in a structural BIM design office.Informacijsko modeliranje stavb (BIM) ima edinstvene prednosti in potencial v konstrukcijskem inženirstvu. Njegova metodologija podpira sodelovalno delo, ki temelji na centralizaciji vseh informacij v zbirnem modelu BIM in učinkoviti ravni interoperabilnosti med platformami BIM. Vendar pa za konstruktersko modeliranje, analizo in potek dela načrtovanja zmogljivost interoperabilnosti najpogosteje uporabljene programske opreme predstavlja omejitve, ki jih je treba rešiti z ustreznimi rešitvami. Ti pomembni izzivi ovirajo izvajanje delovnih tokov BIM v projektivih birojih konstrukterjev, ki načrtuje z BIM. Ta študija skuša analizirati proces prenosa konsturkcijskih analitičnih modelov in podatkov med orodji za modeliranje, statično in dinamično analizo in konstruiranje, medtem ko razvija edinstven potek dela za implementacijo znotraj teh orodij, platform BIM in projektantskih skupin. Študija primera je bila razvita za preizkušanje praktičnega delovnega toka interoperabilnosti med Trimble Tekla Suite (Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Structure in Tekla Tedds), SCiA Engineer, Revit in IDEA StatiCa. To je za identifikacijo in odpravo omejitev, vključenih v procese prenosa pretoka podatkov med to specifično konstruktersko programsko opremo BIM. Postopki prenosa informacij in modelov so dvostranski, z uporabo izvornega formata podatkov in IFC (angl. Industry Foundation Classes) ter univerzalnega standardnega formata prenosa podatkov. Konstrukcijsko modeliranje BIM in zrelost projektiranja BIM sta razmeroma premalo izkoriščena. To je predvsem posledica težav z interoperabilnostjo. Kljub omejitvam in izzivom rezultati študije v okviru razvoja študije primera kažejo, da ima delotok BIM veliko prednosti pri razvoju projektov BIM in njegovem izvajanju v projektantskem biroju, ki uporablja BIM za projektiranje konstrukcij
