Monte J. Chapin is conducting an unique course on “An Introduction to Building Information Modeling”

Monte J. Chapin, the Business Process Leader, Graphisoft, will present an interactive, practical training known as “An introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM). As a business process leader, he explores the most updated practices of collaborating, coordinating and communicating information and data included in the 3D geometry of Virtual Building in the course of interoperability initiatives and exchanges of BIM data by IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). In this training session, he will focus on the fundamental of BIM and how BIM is useful for project collaboration.

After undergoing the course, the attendees will learn the fundamentals of modeling and the perceptions required for successful implementation of a rationalized workflow.

The course will be held on 26th March at New Horizons CLC of SoCal, 100 Corporate Pointe, Suite 195, Culver City, CA 90230-8748.

4.0 CEUs will be provided.

The importance of BIM Labs for educational institution

Building information modeling (BIM) labs are playing important roles to create design for waterways, roads, bridges, buildings, factories, electrical grids, and a wide array of other modern infrastructures. Several educational institutions are now utilizing BIM labs.

The companies, academic establishments and developers utilize BIM software and customize it according to the existing projects. Most of them prefer to integrate the factors like time of construction & cost which the conventional 3D CAD-type software (such as Revit, Autodesk Building Design Suite, and Graphisoft's ArchiCAD) lacks. As per the requirements of the project, other information like the manufacturer's details (product information and production) as well as maintenance information and projected maintenance cycles over time are also included with BIM.

To reap skills of the engineering students, several colleges are inviting technoglogy companies for obtaining the most excellent visual equipment in their BIM labs for superior practical and theoretical training.

George Brown College in Toronto applies Christie Digital Systems to set the new BIM Lab at the school's Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies. The high-tech lab will be equipped with three outsized immersive screens which will allow the students to envisage, design, and collaborate with each other on various types of projects in a virtual reality environment. Three Mirage WU7K-M 120 Hz stereoscopic 3D DLP projectors, pumping out 6,300 ANSI lumens each, will make stunning presentations of those screens. The 55-pound projectors sport a 10,000:1 contrast ratio containing the HD resolution of 1,920p x 1,200p through a Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics array (WUXGA).

The Mirage projectors attribute three modes of 3D input - the WUXGA (DVI-D) listed above, analog BMC, and frame-doubled DVI-D - which comes up several connection options for the applied PCs or servers. Dual Osram PvIP 200W LED lamps featuring 2,000 hours of life enlighten the projectors to produce dazzling, highly comprehensive images.

NC State's lab was equipped with Christie MicroTiles, projectors, and Spyder X20 video processors utilized with a diversified research projects and a technology forum of sorts for lectures and social gatherings. The MicroTiles can attach with each other to make a display screen in almost any required shape. The 16-inch x 12-inch cubes are set up with their own short-throw projector that turn outs an image from a LED light source and DLP optical micro-mirror device.

BIM – The New Era of Construction

Over time everything changes. To cope up with the changing skyline of the city we always hone for new technologies. And this haunting of the architectural, engineering and construction or AEC industry is end at Building Information Modeling or BIM. This is the ultimate tool for the AEC industry to win a bid, planning for the construction, budgeting for it and after all finishing the project within given time frame and cost. BIM is not any software; it is a procedure of getting relevant information about any construction project in the designing phase.

Benefits: There are many benefits of using BIM service in the construction project. With the help of this, the designer can see into the building with all its components. They can also view the building from all sides, and can even see how the building looks at different times of day and night. In short they can take a 3D tour of the building and all its facilities far before the ground breaking. BIM produces super speed, quality productivity and efficiency to the project. There are better coordination and smooth communication among the designer team, architects, engineers, contractors, building owner and stake holders. They can share the useful information along with the electronic models with each other. With the help of the BIM, the contractors and designer can foresee the conflict in the design. This clash detection and mitigation is a very useful aspect for the contractor. This saves money as well as time both of the stake holders and the building owners.

The Evolution: BIM experts are now using a short of shorthand when reffering to the evolution of BIM by adding a ‘D’ which refers dimension. Here you can get a clear idea about all the ‘D’ of BIM.

2D – This is the flat drawing from AutoCAD.

3D – This is the added dimension of width which makes its look real time

4D – Adding the aspect of time

5D – Adding the aspect of Cost to the project

6D – The concept of life cycle Management

BIM Services: There are many companies which are providing BIM services to the world. BIM Outsourcing is one of those companies who out sources the BIM services. This company offers a range of BIM services like Cobie BIM, BIM Drafting Service, MEP Services, MEP Drafting Service, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, MEP Modeling, MEP Conversion, Architectural Services, Architectural & Engine, Architectural Drafting, Offshore in Architecture, Outsourcing Architectural, BIM Model Architectural Drafting, Arc.
