competitive, structural engineers are constantly using new methods and software
that is one of the most important tools. While meeting critical points in work
like problem solving, coordination and productivity, they constantly look for
new ways which they can use to keep pace with today’s economy and improve it. And,
the tool that can help with the same is <a href="https://www.tejjy.com/our-services/bim-3d-model/quantity-take-offs/" target="_blank">Building Information Modeling</a> (BIM). The
ability to integrate intelligent objects in the model is the core feature
offered by BIM. These smart objects contain all the data regarding a particular
component, from geometric attributes to the mechanism they interact with other
components, making the entire model full of information.

The BIM
adoption is creating a somewhat similar environment to other technologies, such
as computer-aided design (CAD), being adopted in the past 50 years. The fact
cannot be denied that by changing their methodology to 2D CAD, the way of
working of the architects and designers has also changed and we believe that
BIM also has the potential to do the same. Hence, it will result in considerable
benefits for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. <o:p></o:p>

BIM integrates
software and information processing procedures for documenting, designing,
reporting, and visualizing buildings and other facilities in amalgamation with
standards, policies, regulations, etc. It helps AEC experts in evoking an
upcoming building in a virtual environment, planning the prospective
construction processes, and identifying any possible construction, design, or
operational concerns. Such advantages are beneficial for the practices of all
the disciplines involved, specifically structural engineering.<o:p></o:p>

BIM
for Structural Engineers<o:p></o:p>

Structural
engineers create complicated structural systems and are in charge of finding
solutions for efficient use of structural materials and elements to build a
building and a safe, sustainable, and durable system. Usually, structural
designs must be coherent with the outputs generated by other disciplines like
engineers and architects of distinct building services. It requires tools to
maintain the quality of the final product, enabling the structural engineers to
confirm the dependability of the information transmitted and to examine the specifications
of the system under development. And, the answer to these requirements is BIM.<o:p></o:p>

Role
of BIM<o:p></o:p>

BIM models
are 3D geometrically encoded, with the ability to ass time and cost data in a variety
of proprietary formats; meaning that the basic concept of BIM depends on
furnishing a building’s object-oriented digital representations, as data-rich
models and enabling simulation and analysis of these models for
construction/design/operation purposes. Most vendors offer BIM software incorporating
the three essential capabilities required for structural engineering. These are
Material Properties, Geometry, and Loading Conditions for an analysis. All of
these can be derived directly from the BIM model whereas such BIM software can
edit, store, and apply these as well. For instance, Autodesk Revit can complement
the objects’ physical depiction, mostly used by structural engineers.<o:p></o:p>

Additionally,
by utilizing BIM in structural engineering, the number of requests for
information (RFI) things from the contractors can be reduced and it makes the
perception of design for customers and other partners, conceivable. Its design
and documentation capabilities are what BIM is known for that allows the useful
computable information to be stored, staying correlated and compatible along with
all its users. At present, structural engineers are using BIM for coordination
and drawings. <o:p></o:p>

BIM is a fast
and convenient way to demonstrate distinct designs and conditions related to a
particular project, to the stakeholders and owners. BIM makes the transition
ideal in the project, from the blueprint phase to constructing a project. One
significant point behind the expanded utilization of BIM in the industry is the
way that many disciplines can use its advantages in a similar stage. The complexity
of numerous infrastructure projects requires serious multidisciplinary
cooperation. With BIM, project data is accessible and noteworthy through each stage
of the infrastructure. It is feasible to imagine the project through all the
cycles of construction, including its expenses and scheduling, by the beginning
of the construction period of a project.<o:p></o:p>

Structural
engineers while constructing a building can leverage BIM in distinguishing
ways, as the model, can be constantly updated with any changes in the design or
general specifications, keeping all the data as accurate as possible. Some of
the most important contributions of BIM for structural engineering activities,
such as conceptual design, structural analysis layout and details are:<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">Reduced design and drafting errors</blockquote>

<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">           Reduced direct engineering design <o:p></o:p></blockquote>

<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">         Drafting costs ergo improved productivity<o:p></o:p></blockquote>

<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">     Situations’ better analysis through
simulation<o:p></o:p></blockquote>

How construction industry is
benefitted from BIM?

While using BIM,
both the physical information (containing the data operated in the analysis
applications) and analytical information (model employed in the structural
analysis), in the same place are interconnected. This not only allows its use
in the project’s structural analysis but also for producing the construction
documents. BIM is used
to refine the construction process’ efficiency, reduce waste during
the construction and improve the buildings’ quality and
efficiency.<o:p></o:p>

For a
successful project execution in construction companies, planning, and design coordination
are the keys. The technology i.e. BIM VDC allows collaborators to examine and create
virtual representations of the Structural and Architectural engineering, MEP along
with other utilities. The BIM VDC construction, for generating correct shop
drawings services and addressing design problems, before construction, adopts
the BIM 3D model. BIM Modelers, with international building codes &
processes’ profound knowledge, can acknowledge the significance of management
of effective work process.<o:p></o:p>

As in the
traditional methods of construction, when project teams used to move
from one phase to another, some information from the previous phase is lost but
now with BIM, information is stored digitally to be readily available
as and when it is required. By adopting BIM it means establishing information’s
continuous flow.  Each stage of the
building process i.e. from planning & design to operation, construction, maintenance
and final recycling is digitally captured allowing the new possibilities for more
accuracy, collaboration, efficiency, and cooperation among the parties
involved. <o:p></o:p>

We live in an era of substantial automation where every business process is digitalized, and
every decision is data-driven. At Tejjy Inc., BIM-based structural design tools assist our specialists with upgrading
their foundational layout, investigating different ways to deal with feasible
plans with related lifecycle costing, and when an idea is endorsed, it gives
the establishment to develop sequencing and field tasks. Manufacture and
development should be possible mistake-free, and the exertion needed for
checking drawing decreases definitely. Hence, talk to our expert structural engineers, drafters & BIM modelers at
202-465-4830 or <a href="mailto:info@tejjy.com">info@tejjy.com</a>.and to get quick services. <o:p></o:p>
