IFC Standard-based Parametric Data-exchange Method for Solid Model

Abstract:

A parametric data-exchange method for solid model is described based on industry foundation class （IFC） standard aiming at the defects of previous technique such as lack of parameterization level and severe information losses. A basic framework of IFC formate file is put forward， and specific data-exchange methods for all kinds of information of solid model are respectively studied and successfully applied by programming. The software test results show that the parametric data-exchange method could correctly describe the complex solid model and the output IFC formate files can be correctly opened and edited in main building information modeling （BIM） platforms.
