Closed BIM vs. Open BIM, which one is better?
Open BIM vs Closed BIM. Which one is better? The construction design industry is in the midst of a transition, moving from traditional 2D design methods to a more virtual 3D design solution which as we all know by now is known as BIM (building information modeling). Due to pressure from customers, from the public, […]
What is a BIM File Format? BIM vs CAD?
BIM Vs. CAD Files: What’s The Difference? The history of CAD programs (computer-aided design) is relatively long, but it provides the ability to create detailed models in both 2D and 3D. Because of that, many companies have been relying on CAD software for years. However, with the rise of BIM (building information management) in recent […]
Comparing CAD Software and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software
Comparing CAD Software and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software Building design and building information modeling (BIM) software includes computer-aided design (CAD software) products used commonly within the architecture and construction industries. Many of these products offer tools and libraries specifically targeted toward architectural design and construction, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and building information […]
How can openBIM help overcome engineers’ challenges?
Why does BIM pose a challenge for structural engineers? The aim of BIM is to make the entire project more efficient and to produce better outcomes, from inception to construction and even operation and maintenance. BIM is often spoken about in the wider context but within each area of BIM there needs to be consideration […]
The importance of Industry Foundation Classes in BIM
The importance of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) in BIM Learn how adopting the IFC standard and Building Information Modeling (BIM) will produce significant time and cost saving benefits. This blog looks at what IFC is in relation to BIM and how how the schema can be applied as the industry continues to find ways to […]
OpenBIM for Structural Engineering
OpenBIM for Structural Engineering OpenBIM (Open Building Information Modeling), better known as Open BIM, was a key enabler for the planning of a new school for the town of Holbrook, Massachusetts. Building Information Modeling (BIM) for structural engineering has typically been hampered by various issues, reducing some of the efficiency gains that BIM provides. OpenBIM […]
