BIM handbook: a guide to building information modelling for owners, managers, designers, engineers and contractors. 2nd ed. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, ISBN ASHCRAFT, HOWARD W. Building information modelling. A Framework for Collaboration. San Francisco: American Bar Association, Student support is designed as follows: In the introductory part of the study, the basic information of the design process using BIM technology, the models used in BIM technology and the current state of using of the BIM process in the world and in the Czech Republic are briefly presented. This information will make it easier for students to understand design of structures with BIM. The second part contains a structured assignment that will make it easier for students to understand design and structural design of construction. Students will create the design in Tekla Structures. The assignment includes a drawing part and a section with designed joints, where students can see the resulting joint obtained from Tekla Structures.

4 1. Introduction 1.1 What is BIM? BIM = Building Information Modelling, Building Information Management Selected BIM definitions: Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the process of building and managing building data throughout its lifecycle. [2] The digital model represents a physical and functional model with its characteristics. It serves as an open database of object information for its implementation and operation during its use. [3] BIM is an organized approach to collecting and using information across the project. At the heart of this effort lies a digital model containing graphic and descriptive information on the design, construction and maintenance of objects. [4] BIM or Building Information Model (or Building Information Modelling) is an open database of object information. This database includes building information from the design itself to its operation, demolition. At any stage of the life of the building, it should provide the necessary information about building design, building solutions, building management, finance, and so on. The database greatly facilitates the exchange of information between the various branches of the design, montage and use of the building. The result of the BIM process solution is the digital 3D model of construction containing the above-mentioned databases. One of the key benefits of the BIM process is the efficiency of processing, the elimination of errors, the clarity of the project itself, the coordination of teamwork, the possibility of increasing competitiveness and reducing the overall costs of the project. Figure 1 illustrates the interconnection of individual fields in designing and using the structure without and using BIM technology. Fig. 1.1: Effectiveness of designing and building use without and using BIM technology [5] 1.2 What is not BIM? It is important to note that BIM is not just a 3D model, but a gradual replenishment of the database with the necessary information during the use of the building (e.g. reconstruction

5 information, etc.). The following selected points clearly characterize what the BIM term is not [6]: BIM is not superstructure over AutoCAD or Microstation. It is a completely different philosophy of working on a project. BIM is not something to install on the weekend and will begin to use on Monday. BIM does not design the building itself. It is a tool that must be handled by an expert. BIM does not make the architects and engineers dazzle. BIM tools do not install or service on their own. The quality of BIM is the most important. It means good structure, quality of information and model should be verifiable. The BIM process consists of several phases (Figure 2): Programming includes a definition of building requirements and their required properties. Conceptual design - represents the process of incorporating the building design into the current building. Detailed design represents the creation of a model of construction itself. Analysis once the building model has been created, it is necessary to verify structural features in terms of statics, to treat acoustics, lighting and to introduce the TZB management. Documentation is the stage of documentation creation (drawing documentation, material statements, and technical and accompanying reports). Fabrication manufacturing, workshop, CNC production and more. Construction 4D/5D 4D in design of construction characterizes the introduction of time to the construction process, the creation of time schedules. And the 5D concept in design of construction involves the introduction of finance. Construction logistics an important step in the construction is the organization of the building site (design of storage areas, handling areas). Operation and maintenance includes the addition and updating of database structure information about important information in the construction operation. Demolition is the last phase of the construction life.

6 Fig. 1.2: Individual phases of the BIM process [5] It should also be mentioned that there are a number of models within the BIM project [7]: Preliminary model (Preliminary design) - used for space planning and as a basis for territorial approval of construction. Fig. 1.3: Preliminary design in the BIM process [7] Design model (planning) - is a detailed design of the structure (shape, material, lighting, thermal power utilization, environmental impact, etc.).

7 Fig. 1.4: Design model in the BIM process [7] Structural model (project) - is used to control collisions in the design model. Fig. 1.5: Structural model in the BIM process [7] Production model (fabrication). Fig. 1.6: Production model in the BIM process [7] FM model (management) - allows asset management and resource utilization. Fig. 1.7: FM model in the BIM process [7]

8 1.3 BIM in the world At present, BIM is a modern, world-class design process technology. It is only a question of the time when it will be fully applicable also in the Czech Republic Finland In Finland, BIM has been in use since 2001, when the first projects were created. The COBIM Common BIM Requirements document, which defines common design requirements with BIM, was published in The pilot project is the Skanska Group project, an eight-storey building project in Helsinki (Figure 8) [8]. Fig. 1.8: Project using BIM technology in Helsinki - 3D model (left), architectural study (right) [8] Norway In 2011, a freely downloadable document called BIM Guide: Statsbygg BIM Manual appeared on the Internet, defining the main IFC format requirements. The IFC file format is the main BIM format. The pilot project is a project from the Skanska Group - KBS Shopping Centre in Trondheim. Sweden Fig. 1.9: Project using BIM technology in Trondheim [8] As in Norway, the OpenBIM program, which provides IT tools, was introduced in The first project processed with the BIM process is the project from the Skanska Group - New

9 Karolinska Solna in Solna. This project is also the first project that Skanska Group has addressed using BIM. Fig. 1.10: Project using BIM technology in Solna - architectural study (left), demonstration of pipeline solutions (right) [8] United Kingdom In the UK, it is now mandatory to address all BIM procurement by Great Britain has provided the world with the National BIM Library, which contains parametric building elements, and these are freely available on the Internet [9]. In UK, the first fully 3D project was built using a 3D model directly on the building site - the Barts and the Royal London Hospital in London. Fig. 1.11: Project using BIM technology in London - architectural study (left), demonstration of construction management (right) [8] 1.4 BIM in the Czech Republic A pilot construction company currently using BIM is the Skanska Group. Among the buildings that used BIM technology at any stage of construction, design or building management include the Riverview in Smichov, CB Centrum in Ostrava, Corso Court at Karlín in Prague.

Different software are used for different design solutions. For architects and designers - Revit (Autodesk), Naviswork, Microstation 8.5 (Bentley), ArchiCAD (Graphisoft) and others.

11 For statics and constructors - Tekla Structures (Tekla), Scia Engineer, ProStructures and others. For investors - Bim+, Tekla BIMSight, BIMx, BIM Vision and others. Note: Currently, Tekla BIMSight and BIM Vision are available for investors free of charge. At the beginning of the subject, the main principles of BIM technology were introduced. The benefit of this technology is observable in the particular field. In case of a static design solution, it is possible to use the architectural model as a reference model and thus to eliminate errors in the geometry of the structure. When designing a construction, the introduction of this technology reduces the number of additional queries, reduces errors in redrawing documents, simplifies communications during editing. The 3D model can also be used directly to automatically generate drawings and CNC data. In the case of execution itself, assembly can accelerate, improve construction planning and, of course, reduce the error rate.

12 2. Modelling in software Tekla Structures Tekla Structures software makes it easy to create drawing documentation. This software allows to create a 3D model, including joints, from which the design, workshop, production, and item drawings are automatically created and allows to automatically generate material reports and time schedule. Tekla Structures enables modelling of steel, timber, aluminium and reinforced concrete structures, drawings, listings, exports, building management, and communicates with other BIM-enabled software s. Software vendor in the Czech Republic is Construsoft, which also offers other software and services: Tekla Structures modelling of 3D constructions with associative elements for automatic drawing generation. Tekla Model Sharing allows for swift and effective project sharing around the world and preserves the history of the changes made to the project. Trimble connect supports data exchange and project information (works with a variety of formats). Tekla Campus student version of this software. Tekla User Assistance costumer support.
