AF272V BIM2, Design, Installation and Integrated Planning 7.5 credits

BIM2, projektering, installation och samordning

Please note

The information on this page is based on a course plan that is not yet valid.

The course gives a deeper knowledge and understanding for computer programs adapted for BIM modelling. Suitable for students who want to work with the latest planning tools. Architect (house model), heat, water, sanitation, ventilation, electric power, lightening and some home decoration/furnishing are modulated by help of different computer software. The models are later compiled to a common model to see how the different discipline groups are connecting. Coordination of the models is performed with respect to component information and component collation, 4D design, visualization, walk around presentation and more. We will also learn how to assign component information to components, rooms, climate zones and more. The course objective is to apply practical knowledge and be able to participate in different BIM projects.

Learning outcomes

This course aims to provide a general introduction to 3D design, installation and coordination.

Upon completion of this course, the student shall:

  • Understand the theory behind Building Information Modeling (BIM)
  • Be able to manage model data and use databases in BIM design
  • Be able to coordinate installation with MagiCad
  • Be familiar with the collision detection capabilities in Navisworks
  • Be able to apply this knowledge to a project

Course main content

Problem-based learning: the course revolves around a project based on a given architectural model. During the course, students will perform simplified installation planning and planning coordination. The elements below are the needed basis.

The following topics will be covered in this course:

  • General definition of BIM
  • MagiCAD and BIM
  • MagiCAD and IFC - IFC Viewers
  • IFC Import using AutoCAD MEP
  • Coordination between planners
  • Introduction to MagiCAD in Revit MagiCAD and Revit MEP
  • Installation coordination using Navisworks

Disposition

The course elements include a theory section, a briefing and demonstration section, and a project section in which knowledge is practised and integrated in a project.
