NotesBIM

this are the notes that i took about the articles (BIM) there are parts of each article, and tell us the meaning of BIM, its qualitys, etc. = = What is BIM?

A Building Information Model (BIM) is a 3-dimensional computer model that serves like a repository for the drawing associated with the design, construction.

it's significantly more than transferring electronic versions of paper documents. It's more than pretty 3D renderings with construction documents as a separate function.

When integrated 3D-2D model-based technology is linked with information, design firms have a faster, higher-quality, richer design process. Risk is reduced, design intent is maintained, quality control is streamlined, communication is clearer, and higher analytic tools are more accessible

BIM is a commercially developed and distributed technology available from commercial vendors such as Autodesk, Bentley, and Graphisoft.

BIM offers the ability to track unlim-ited information about a building.

Building information modeling supports the continuous and immediate availability of high-quality, reliable, integrated, and fully coordinated design data. Among the many competitive advantages it confers are:

//How Do These Standards Fit Together in Software That Benefits the Designers?//
 * Increased speed of delivery (time saved)
 * Better coordination (fewer errors)
 * Decreased costs (money saved)
 * Greater productivity
 * Higher quality work
 * On-line collaboration
 * New revenue and business opportunities in operations and functions

Some people believe that a BIM process represents more work, with the benefit going to the client and not to the architect. But firms that use intelligent tools will see the payback in their design process through improved productivity, reduction of error, and faster production through automation. 1) We'll start with a client needing a room and establishing some general requirements. In 2D electronic drafting, we would show a floor plan, walls as polylines on a CAD Layer, a door symbol, a room stamp, and notations. When it is time to place our drawings on paper for plotting, we would use the NCS to organize the construction sets. Other information would be handled separately and not integrated into our CAD file. 2) As the design progresses, we can use an IFC-WALL for quantity take-offs, thermal or energy calculations, and other analysis. This is the same wall used in our construction document views and our rendering. Even at this level, we can more fully determine whether our design meets our client's needs.

3) benefits of object intelligence enhance NCS in other ways. What were simple graphic elements have been given intelligence to help automate the task they represent.

This Drawing Title is now an intelligent object that automatically shows the scale of the drawing it supports. If the scale of the drawing changes, so does the indicator on the graphic. This type of automation greatly reduces construction document errors and coordination. (BIM)

Design Because BIM mimics a real building, some of the real benefits on the design side can be fully realized only when the architect or designer is the computer operator. This issue is getting attention from many of the large architectural firms that have traditionally used CAD as an electronic drafting tool One of the greatest benefits of using a BIM application at the design stage is the ability for the designer to understand the relationships of the building and its systems instantaneously in regard to aesthetic, performance, and program issues.
