BIM-Based Integrated Design Software for the Steel Structure of Industrial Plant

Abstract:

The developed BIM-based integrated design software system is composed of two seamlessly integrated modules: structure calculation module and post-process module, the interface between the modules is clear. Using object oriented programming technology, a series of intelligent solid classes are abstracted to describe parts with deferent geometric information, structure properties and design requirements in real structure. Objects which are instances of these hierarchical C++ classes and logical links between them were integrated into the AutoCAD drawing database to construct a three-dimensional model. Several key functions including parametric shortcut modeling, frames analysis and member checking, three-dimensional solid construction, node design and editing, and drawing are implemented. IFC interface and the interface with common software are also implemented.
