Development of BIM Technology in Steel Structure Design Software

Abstract:

The workflow of traditional steel often causes the lack of information, and the high cost, reduced efficiency in the various stages of the project. BIM technology simulate building by digital real information, share the information by central document, that close connection with the various stages of the process, and exchange information, so as to improve efficiency and reducecosts.Based on the concept of Building Information Model, the article explains the design and construction of 3D SteelGate software system. By adopting the Object-Oriented Design model, the article established parameterized database used for model construction in steel constructions. Article also describes the application in steel design software with the help of design model, analysis model and the drafting model.
