As mentioned in another post, the term BIM is now focusing a lot discussions. As an example I would cite the group LinkedIn's 'BIM EXPERTS', a group with an intense daily activity, which reflects the increasing interest in this matter.
Noting the large number of open debates, one can see that most debates revolve around identifying the best BIM software can be obtained to develop a BIM project for an architectural firm, engineering and construction (hereinafter AEC). Note that there is no unanimity on the matter, which is logical.
Our long experience in the use of BIM work environments allows us to state in summary fashion that: 1 .-
currently there is no perfect tool BIM.
2 .- a good tool BIM does not guarantee you a good project BIM.
3 .- The BIM is not achieved with a single tool.
Regarding point 1 is easy to glimpse that while much progress has been made, we are in a fledgling stage, so the BIM software will evolve is still much in the coming years. Our organization
bet at the time by the software Tekla Structures Tekla, Tekla Structures now called, long before there was talk of BIM. Over the years we have seen that was a good choice.
This is because I understand that the BIM is nothing if not at least cover the design and implementation phases (manufacturing and construction). In this sense it is a big plus software originally developed for implementation tasks that are then extended to design work (architecture) not the reverse. We have no day of software that is increasingly architectural features, which allows the passage of the 3D model manufacturing.
I am convinced that software generation born into the world of architecture (Revit, Allplan ,...) have a much more complex process to arrive at total BIM, since they are great difficulties to make your models fully executives .
Regarding point 2, I find that the BIM process to focus only the tool is not completely right.
Consider that a design team with no proven experience in project not only but also in implementation and monitoring of work, possibly running good then submit 3D models surely constructability difficulties. Therefore
beyond the software is needed multidisciplicar team with great expertise in the conceptual design of buildings, as well as manufacturing and construction. This, like all well understand, it's overwhelming through proven experience.
Finally, with regard to point 3, the current key BIM software is interoperability. The main software must be able intercanviador information that specific structural design software, thermal, and earthmoving equipment (MEP, an acronym for Mechanical Electrical & Plumbing). Many efforts are being invested in getting intercanviador formats that allow the passage of the properties of a model to different software, and is today the IFC format which aims to be the format for the next time intercanviador.
