Building Information Modeling for Structural Engineering
Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated
process built on coordinated, reliable information
about a project from design through construction
and into operations. By adopting BIM, architects,
engineers, contractors, and owners can more easily
create coordinated, digital design information
and documentation; use that information to
visualize, simulate, and analyze performance,
appearance, and cost; and reliably deliver the
project faster, more economically, and with
reduced environmental impact.
BIM for structural engineers follows this same
methodology for the entire structural engineering
process, focusing on a digital model that can be
used for coordination with architects; mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing engineers; and civil
engineers that is integrated with analysis, design,
and construction documentation, and extending
that digital model from design through fabrication
and construction.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing supports the BIM
process for structural engineering by extending
structural design workfl ows to fabrication, enabling
a more e cient and accurate process for creating
fabrication details and drawings.
Integrated tools for modeling, coordination, analysis, design
documentation as well as shop drawings and fabrication.
