BIM Modeling - Redefining the Possibilities in Design and Performance
With the advancement of technology simulation and 3D modeling are getting increasingly integrated and sophisticated. When these processes are integrated with advanced design processes, interaction between every design element and even between designers comes to life. This entire process is known as BIM or Building Information modeling. A BIM model includes virtual equivalents of actual building pieces and parts used in buildings. The elements have logical as well as physical characteristics similar to that of the real counterparts. These are actually digital prototype of physical building elements like columns, walls, windows, stairs, doors, etc. These help in simulation of the building and understand the behavior within a computer environment before actual construction starts.
