BIM Modeling With Revit 2009 and Tekla Software

Building Information Modeling is the process of generating and managing building construction data during its life cycle period. It uses 3D dynamic building modeling software like Revit 2009, Tekla and ArchiCAD to increase efficiency and productivity in building construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (BIM), which encompasses properties of building components, spatial relationships, building geometry and geographic regulations.

The International Alliance of Interoperability (IAI) pioneered a comprehensive technical effort across 15 countries to define a unanimous industry model as one authoritative definition of building components, properties and geometry. However, in the absence of a single model, software companies are trying to gain commercial advantage and there are many different BIM implementations available as a result of this competition.

Autodesk Revit 2009

REVIT is the most popular industry model for implementation of BIM as a central project database. This model takes an approach of coordinating every building element in one database, thus providing users the ability to easily see the results of any kind of building design revisions, reflections in the associated drawings, as well as to detect any major coordination issues.

As per AutoDesk Revit’s latest press-release on Revit 2009, Revit Architecture 2009 allows customers to capture early design concepts with improved analysis and visualization capabilities through easy exchange with improved visualization functionality and partner applications improving speed, quality, and usability. Revit Structure 2009 has been powered with greater modeling and documentation capabilities. Revit MEP 2009 now comes with detailed functionalities for structures like water heat pumps, air handlers and rooftop units.

Tekla

Tekla' Structures by Tekla Solutions Inc. is an path-breaking tool that makes open integration with architecture models easy while supporting the end-to-end building construction process. Tekla software generates most accurately detailed structural/architectural models providing best constructability to the building and construction industry. Tekla is being used by thousands of BIM providers around the world to provide high-quality BIM Models to clients in quicker turnaround time. Tekla software contains specific features for steel detailers, structural engineers, steel fabricators and building construction companies.
