Presented by Wes Gardner, Assoc. AIA, Architect Industry Specialist at Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the technology and processes that formulate design, analysis, encoding, decoding, fabrication, simulation and management of a project. As such, we must recognize that many kinds of technology exist today that address different workflows to move the process forward. In order to move forward we need an open platform for true interoperability— the ability to exchange data and make use of the information from any source and for any workflow.

Today, BIM interoperability is possible with Open BIM— the use of internationally recognized open standards to exchange building information. These open standards include the use of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for building geometry and data. IFC is supported by over 70 international vendors and over 110 applications and is used today to create, analyze, and distribute building information models. Organizations across the globe are developing IFC-based BIM guidelines for project designs to facilitate the use of data across multiple vendors, applications, and end-users.
Learning Objectives:
• Define Open BIM and IFC
• Explain how interoperability is improved with Open BIM workflows and IFC technology
• Explain how collaboration with design partners is improved with Open BIM workflows and IFC technology
• Identify examples of how Open BIM and IFC are used today
The April issue of Structural Engineer magazine featured a great article, "A BIM Design Challenge", that illustrates how Scia Engineer – a new breed of integrated structural design software – is making it easy for firms to plug analysis and design into their 3D workflows.

Now, you can learn first-hand the benefits Scia Engineer offers. Register for this quick 30 minute
webinar and find out to:
- Easily leverage designs created by others into analysis and pass back optimized structures for reference and model coordination.
- Streamline the communication process and make it easy to manage design changes, when working iteratively with designers.
- Centralize design tasks in one multi-material design environment, and make advanced nonlinear and dynamic analysis not only feasible, but cost effective.
- Reduce cost and calculation errors by integrating modeling, design and documentation so a change anywhere is reflected everywhere.

The April issue of Structural Engineer magazine featured a great article, "A BIM Design Challenge", that illustrates the benefits of working collaboratively with designers using a reference model workflow.
If you are not familiar with the advantages a reference model workflow offers–and how easy it makes handing iterative changes that happen when working with designers–it’s worth the read: Structural Engineer April Issue.
Here’s short excerpt:
"On a project like this, architects have a tendency to change the structure fairly frequently, and sometimes dramatically. We needed the ability to update our design rapidly. We couldn’t wait a whole day to get a design into the system, much less update it," Andrea Hektor, KPPF Consulting Engineers-Portland, said.
"Using a reference model workflow, Allied Works Architecture would just send me their changes as an updated model. I would bring the new models into Scia Engineer, where I could compare them. Then, I could quickly update our structural model, run a quick analysis, and give Allied Works Architecture a quick thumbs up or thumbs down on their revised designs, so they could continue moving forward. I don’t think we would have been able to do this with any of the other modeling software we have in our office."

La fonctionnalité ‘panneaux de charges’ est un outil pratique de Scia Engineer pour introduire des charges sur une surface et ensuite les transférer vers les barres (ou les nœuds) du plan du panneau (avec possibilité de choisir les barres à charger et/ou la direction de portée des panneaux). Avec ces panneaux, l’utilisateur gagne beaucoup de temps en introduisant simplement des charges dans un plan et pas sur chacune des barres séparément.
2 méthodes sont à disposition des utilisateurs: une méthode rapide (standard) ou une méthode aux éléments finis (plus précise). Les deux options seront expliquées dans ce webinaire.

Ces panneaux de charge sont aussi utilisés pour générer automatiquement les cas de sollicitation du vent en 3D et appliquer ces charges à l’ossature d’un projet de type bâtiment avec parties de toiture plates, à 1 ou 2 pans et/ou en croupe. Le logiciel détermine les zones de vent, génère les cas de charge pour toutes les directions de vent choisies et toutes les combinaisons des coefficients Cpe/Cpi (EN 1991-1-4). L’utilisateur peut intervenir à tout moment dans le processus pour modifier ou compléter les informations proposées automatiquement par le logiciel.
Dans le webinaire nous vous expliquerons:
- Comment créer un panneau de charge
- Quels types de charges on peut introduire sur ce panneau
- Comment le logiciel transfère les charges sur les éléments choisis
- Le principe pour générer le vent 3D sur une structure

Belastingspanelen zijn een handige tool in Scia Engineer om belastingen in te voeren op een vlak. Deze worden dan automatisch naar alle staven herverdeeld. Met deze panelen kan de gebruiker veel tijd besparen en op een snelle en nauwkeurige manier belastingen ingeven per vlak in plaats van op iedere staaf afzonderlijk.

Er zijn 2 methodes waarop dit kan gebeuren, via een snelle (standaard) methode of via een exacte eindige elementenmethode. Beide opties worden kort toegelicht tijdens deze webinar.
Deze belastingspanelen kunnen eveneens gebruikt worden om automatisch de wind in 3D te genereren op de constructie en met behulp van deze panelen wordt de windlast dan overgedragen naar de staven in dit vlak.

Tijdens deze webinar leert u:
- Hoe u een belastingpaneel kan aanmaken
- Welke belasting hier op geplaatst kan worden
- Naar welke staven deze belasting wordt overgedragen
- Hoe u de wind in 3D automatisch kan genereren via de windgenerator
