An exclusive online BIM Event on BIM for manufacturer

Initially the impact of BIM can be found for construction industry but gradually the application of BIM has been extended to several manufacturing and other sectors.

In order to place them ahead of competition, various manufacturers are looking for BIM (Revit Model) data.

Adris MicroCAD is presenting an online webinar that focus on how BIM can provide huge benefits to manufacturing industries.

There is no specific schedule date for the webinar. Register your seat online and the organizer will contact you when a date will be available.

Building Information Modeling – An exclusive e-book by Stephen Emmitt, University of Bath

Stephen Emmitt, associated with the University of Bath, has presented an exclusive e-book on BIM. This book on BIM will be very useful for the beginner as well as advanced users of BIM.

Stephen Emmitt has explained the basic concept of BIM, highlights latest improvement with BIM, looks at issues, and foresees potential opportunities thorough this book.

The application of BIM in building industry is increasing at a rapid rate. The information derived from BIM can be utilized for other applications like forecasting energy consumption, cost, scheduling, conflicts amid systems as well as leveraged for facilities management. The complete set of software hypothetically can automate the virtual building description for specialized purposes.

The book highlights on some crucial roles of BIM in outlining the professional offices and project delivery procedures. The book is compared as a professional design guide catering to architects, engineers, and contractors and students with reference to the standards and specific usages of BIM.

The book is separated into two parts- Fundamentals and Application. In fundamental part, the readers can get acquainted with various terms, analyze issues and envisages future scopes of BIM. Some leading aspects of BIM are highlighted which range from parametric concepts, the functions of BIM for various stakeholders, the solo model against federated models, the BIM implementation plan, and what is on the computing horizon. This chapter is again segregated into five chapters like BIM Overview, Stakeholders and BIM's Many Roles, Data Exchange and Interoperability, BIM Implementation, and Beyond fundamental BIM.

The application part comes up with various project case studies, some particular instances of how BIM is perfectly being put into practice & effectively incorporated into four offices. These offices offer vignettes on definite buildings that demonstrate successes and missed opportunities and provide guidance to other professionals. The four case studies are as follow:-

• designLAB Architects: Small BIM tames big Brutalism.
• ZGF: BIM in transition - making the leap at a large firm.
• CASE: Building information coordinators.
• Mortenson Construction: Outstanding project success through collaboration.

The book contains 312 pages and the prospective readers can obtain a kindle version fromwww.amazon.com/Building-Information-Modeling-PocketArchitecture-Kensek-ebook at a price of $28.66 (actual price $110).

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.

AAMA 912-13 BIM specification has been just launched

American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) introduced AAMA 912-13. It is an autonomous specification useful for Nonresidential Fenestration Building Information Modeling. AAMA 912-13 describes and creates a framework with least possible prerequisites for two extensively applied model types ranging from design intent models and project execution and coordination models. It can also be utilized as reference in other industry standards, contract documents, proposals and marketing materials.

As per the explanation of AAMA 912-13, DI models are fenestration BIM models relating to “catalog” products of acceptable size and configuration that can be accessed through manufacturers’ websites or industry warehouses/library sites. PEC models are considered as a project-specific fenestration BIM models originated in pre-defined milestones in the project completion phase to be included in the complete project BIM model.

In order to fulfill the requirement for windows, curtain wall, storefront & skylights maintaining uniformity and quality assurance in product models, the commercial construction industry starts to establish and optimize consolidated workflow. 

To cope up the situation AAMA’s BIM Task Group introduced AAMA 912-13 to make the BIM application more streamlined for the fenestration sector. 

Purchase AAMA 912-13 from AAMA’s publication store.
