BIM im Stahlbau: etablierte Arbeitsweisen und neue Wege

摘要

BIM in steel construction: established workflows and new opportunities Building Information Modeling (BIM) is playing a more and more important role in steel construction, from planning to execution. The topic is both viewed with interest as well as critically discussed. Based on its long tradition in 3D planning, the steel industry can benefit from well-established processes for data exchange. BIM brings new opportunities to extend and develop these further. The article analyses the current status of model-based planning and execution, highlighting a number of selected areas and practical examples. The aim is to evaluate BIM in light of current workflows in steel construction, to encourage companies to utilize the tools and methods already available and highlight the potential of BIM for the future.
