Use bim for developing high performing architectural structural and mep design

Use BIM for developing high performing architectural, structural and MEP design!

The overall building design comprises of the design of its main trades which include architecture, structure and MPE. That means for achieving effective building design it is crucial that flawless design is created for different building disciplines. And Building Information Modeling becomes indispensable for design and construction professionals in this case which empowers them in creating error free 3D modeling Services for multiple trades.

Autodesk has develop software products specially for executing BIM services such as Revit, Navisworks and 3ds Max, all of which are utilized during preconstruction for elevating the quality of building design. Revit is optimized for executing architectural, structural and MEP modeling services for a building project wherein highly factual 3D models are created by BIM modelers.

Today AEC professionals have the accessibility of different Revit flavors which include Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP which are used specifically for developing the design of individual building trades. Suppose architectural design is developed by a team with the assistance of Revit architecture its design information can be effectively coordinated to other disciplines. Each Revit discipline incorporates the tools for file linking which allow them to link other Revit models into them. This means modelers working on Revit architecture can successfully link Revit structure and Revit MEP models into architectural model for acquiring comprehensive information. This clears the doubts of architectural design team about structural and MEP design. Architectural design team can take necessary steps for avoiding errors in their design and can ultimately prevent the clashes of its elements along with the elements of other two disciplines.

Similar steps can be taken by structural and MEP design teams they can also link the models of other two disciplines for obtaining greater clarity on building design. In this way design clashes can be reduced or minimized to a great extent by multidiscipline design teams accountable for developing architectural, structural and MPE design.

For further minimizing design clashes between multiple trades clash detection process is executed by design and construction professionals with the support of Navisworks Manage during design phase. This improves the quality of 3D models wherein errors are completely eliminated from them.
