Whole Process Design System for Support and Hanger Structures Based on BIM

Abstract:

By using the building information modeling(BIM) theory, a whole process BIM system was designed for support and hanger structures. The functions of the system include solid modeling, calculation analysis, unit checking, output calculation result, data interface, drawings and material statistics. All of these functions share the data. What’s more, the system uses the threedimensional intelligent modeling technology based on dynamic capture and automatic parametric design, which makes the modeling efficiency be greatly improved.

Key words:support and hanger structures; whole process design; building information modeling(BIM); threedimensional intelligent modeling; parametrization
