Hello Mohammad,

BIM or Building Information Modelling is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.

3 essential elements of BIM Software are-

• 3 dimensional solid model
• Model based(parametric)
• AEC (Building) specific

BIM is model based technology linked with a database of project information i.e. it relies on database technology as the foundation.

Application of BIM are-

• Construction- Steel Fabrication
• Model Checking
• Lighting Analysis
• Air Flow Analysis
• Emergency Response
• Space Management
• Facility Management Portals

I hope it helps and best

of luck

Thank you

Dear Aspirant,

BIM stands for Building Information Modelling which is a process known to help improve the results of projects related to infrastructure. This happens because it enables the ability to help see the multidisciplinary and multidimensional point of views, is based on the data and takes care of the schedule and the budget. It is focused on the shared information which is communicated during the cycle of the project and have amazing and creative results. It resolves the complexity of infrastructure projects by encouraging teamwork, keeping your errors in check, helping with predicting the cost and budget and helping in the understanding of the project.

It is an integrated process which is based on the information which is derived from the construction of a project and the various operations involved in the same, though it is a common perception that it is just used by architects. It is changing the dynamic of civil engineering by changing the way the existing projects are now being constructed within this model. It requires a clear mindset and also a set of technical knowledge to achieve the targets it is known to achieve. This is the part of the innovative processes which are entering the field of civil engineering. This is a part of the skill-based learning for the students and encourages a bright spirit in them.

It is also known to increase team effort and collaboration and helps the project to come together. Though the catch when we talk about BIM in civil is that it does not refer to the physical infrastructure but rather to age outside of the building like roads, parking lots, walkaways and storm drains etc.

Hope this helps. All the best!
