A, Autodesk:
Autodesk manufacturers based on the applicable fields, will be several kinds of BIM software and general engineering software with each other to integrate for Autodesk Building Design Suite, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite with the Autodesk Plant Design Suite and other three, respectively, as follows:
1, Autodesk Building Design Suite is mainly used in the field of architectural engineering, which contains the BIM software for Revit Architecture, Revit MEP and Revit Revit Architecture, Revit MEP and Revit Structure.
2, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite is mainly used in the field of highway, earth and water conservancy engineering, which contains BIM software for AutoCAD Civil 3D and Revit Structure.
Which AutoCAD Civil 3D is suitable for Civil engineering, can be imported into the three-dimensional coordinate data to generate 3D terrain, and then in the 3D terrain on the pipeline design, land analysis, hydrological analysis, highway alignment and structural configuration of operations to assist civil engineers to carry out the design and analysis of highway, earth and water conservancy projects.
3, Autodesk Plant Design Suite is mainly used in plant engineering, 3D models can be applied to enhance the quality of plant design and review, which includes BIM software for Revit Structure, the software description as mentioned.
Tekla:
Tekla is a Finnish software company, the main BIM software for Tekla Structures, the software's main function for reinforced concrete structures, steel and wood structures and other structural systems configuration, the construction of the structural model of high finesse, reinforced concrete structures in addition to beams, columns, plates, footings, shear walls or bays, and other structures to give appropriate configuration. The reinforced concrete structure can be configured according to beams, columns, plates, footings, shear walls or bays.
Can also configure the main reinforcement, shear tendons, hooks, hoops, temperature reinforcement and other objects; the other steel structure can be based on a variety of steel, bolts and weld channels, etc. to give the appropriate configuration. In addition, it can support structural design, stress analysis and collision analysis, and can be directly linked to the wired elemental method analysis program to assist structural engineers in engineering design time for detailed structural design and analysis.
Three, Bentley:
MicroStation is the main development of Bentley software vendors applications and technology platforms, and for various fields to provide various types of sub-systems, the software built-in MVBA programming language compatible with Microsoft Visual Basic programming language.
Also supports Visual Basic programming language to control graphic objects, with information and file integration capabilities, applicable to a wide range of fields, including construction, highways, railroads, bridges, telecommunication networks and pipeline projects, and provides animation, sunlight analysis, budget statement production and collision checking and other functions.
The main BIM software is Bentley Architecture, Bentley Structural, Bentley Building Mechanical Systems and Bentley Building Electrical Systems, which can support complex mesh or curved
1, Bentley Architecture
Can be constructed for the building 3D model, 2D and 3D can also be quickly switched between interfaces to support architects to carry out structural configuration, structural analysis, collision checking and calculation of the number of operations, and the use of intuitive communication to reduce the complexity of the building operations and communication barriers.
2. Bentley Structural
The BIM software is designed for the analysis and design of building structural systems. The supported structural systems include reinforced concrete, steel, wood, aluminum, and stone, which are suitable for detailed structural design and analysis.
3. Bentley Building Mechanical Systems
is a BIM software for building mechanical systems, which can assist mechanical engineers in the design, analysis, cost prediction and collision checking of ventilation systems, piping systems and mechanical plant construction through 3D models.
4. Bentley Building Electrical Systems
is a BIM software for building electrical systems, which can assist electrical engineers with 3D modeling to build, analyze, cost predict, and collision check systems such as power, lighting, and fire alarm systems.
Four, ArchiCAD:
Nemetschek AG in early 2007 after the acquisition of Graphisoft, the original Graphisoft developed ArchiCAD has become Nemetschek AG's main release of BIM software.
ArchiCAD is a long-established BIM software that can be implemented on Apple Macintosh computers. The software's functionality is geared toward architectural design, and it can construct 3D building models, which are composed of parametric objects that contain information about structural dimensions, materials, performance, and pricing, to assist architects with the structural design of buildings, analysis and related collaborative work.
Fifth, Digital Project:
Gehry Technologies mainly develops BIM software for Digital Project, Digital Project can be subdivided into Designer, Manager and Extensions and other 3 parts, software features The software is focused on the design and construction of architectural projects and has the ability to integrate large and complex projects.
The free-style surface modeling (free-style surface modeling) function can be used to construct complex 3D architectural models, and parameterized objects in the model can assist architects in architectural design, conflict detection, visual simulation, construction schedule control, and structural configuration operations.
