What is BIM?

BIM Modeling Services in India

 With the adoption of new technologies, advances in digital design tools, inter-connectedness and computer-controlled fabrications are converging to transform every phase of the design and build process.  The construction industry is changing. The days of contractors operating in silos are slowly disappearing and being replaced by a system of collaboration and communication, spearheaded by Building Information Modeling, or BIM. BIM is a process, not an application. It’s based around models used for the planning, design, construction and management of building and infrastructure projects faster, more economically and with less environmental impact. It is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. 

Building information modelling (BIM) is permeating the AEC industry at an escalating rate to the point where corporations and even countries are choosing to mandate the platform for large-scale projects. BIM models are different from CAD drawings that may be 2D or even 3D. BIM models are made up of intelligent objects that when changed stay updated throughout the design no matter who is working with it. 
Why BIM?
Construction woes take a backseat with Building Information Modeling. It allows the more intelligent use of resources, optimization of workflows and leads to productivity and profitability. It allows all interested parties to assess the same information at the same time through the interoperability between different technological platforms. It leads to better outcomes through more effective communication and collaboration.

Be it project management, land surveying, road design, structure design or construction- the role of Building Information Modeling has almost become indispensable for beyond the ordinary results. Using BIM, owners can improve building quality, significantly reduce building lifecycle costs, better understand design projects from beginning to end, optimize operational efficiencies and increase occupancy and use rates.

In construction, Building Information Modeling could be used to monitor the productivity of a construction process. BIM brings the opportunity to try out solutions in advance before building the structure on site: with a constructible model, the structure can be prototyped virtually. Project parties can understand and review the design more easily, which helps guarantee its accuracy and completeness and visualize and evaluate alternatives in terms of cost and other project parameters. BIM leads to better communication between project parties and better quality.
Key Features of BIM:
  • Uses 3D models to capture, explore, and maintain consistent and coordinated planning, design, construction, and operational data
  • Provides greater project insight for cost, schedule, and constructability
  • Uses and shares consistent data whether you’re at your desk or in the field
  • Enables prompt response to change with processes that are smarter and faster
The preferred software tools used on the BIM platform are Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Revit Structure, as well as Navisworks, 3D Studio Max and AutoCAD. In addition to buildings, BIM software is used for designing many types of infrastructure, utilities and systems including:
  • Civil and structural engineering
  • Energy and utilities
  • Highway and road engineering
  • Surveying
  • Offshore and marine architecture
  • Rail and metro transportation engineering
  • Tunnelling and subway architecture
  • Urban master-planning and smart city design

BENEFITS OF 3D CAD MODELING IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN

Computer-aided design software (CAD) is more prominent in the engineering industry as the standard tool used for drafting and design of mechanical components and assemblies. Immediately, projects were able to go from concept to prototype in record time. A major advantage was the added product design flexibility, which allowed engineers to avoid costly mistakes when changes to the design of one component were not passed along to other affected parts of the assembly. Computer design also brought about the ability to visualize complex technical elements that are difficult to conceive in a two-dimensional layout. 3D CAD modelling provides lots of benefits to the mechanical companies. Benefits of 3d cad modelling in mechanical engineering are as follows: Better Design Quality There are lots of the standard templates already present in CAD software so that designers can use these ready-made templates to accurately design their own designs. A CAD software also checks the e...

Benefits of 3D Rendering Services

With the advancements in technology, designing things has reached a whole new level. From one dimensional drawing made by hand, the world has now moved on to images rendered in 3 dimensions. What is 3D Rendering? 3D rendering is a creative process similar to professional photography that involves staging scenes or spaces to produce high-quality images. The difference with 3D rendering is that the image is digitally produced to achieve the same true-to-life result. 3D rendering enables the designer to create a space and then adjust building elements, finishes, furniture, lighting, and landscapes. It’s a powerful tool that has more flexibility than professional photography and can even be more affordable. Benefits of 3D Rendering: Better Visualization Many, if not the majority of people learn well when they can see something in the best way possible.  From the earliest stages of a project, those invested in a project need to be able to see what ...
