Structural BIM
incl. rebar detailing
Structural BIM: modelling concrete, steel and timber structures including reinforcement, as the basis for analysis, drawings and quantities.
The model the structural design runs from – from the frame model through to modelled reinforcement.
Scope
- Frame model for concrete, steel, timber and composite construction
- Modelled reinforcement as the basis for reinforcement drawings and bending schedules
- Link to the structural analysis via the analytical model
- Quantities by member, storey or construction section
Reinforcement in the model
Modelling reinforcement does not pay off everywhere – rarely in uniform slabs, almost always in congested nodes, corbels and connections. There the model shows clashes between bars that nobody spots on a drawing and that get expensive on site.
