Importance of BIM Services and Fabrication Drawings in Structural Engineering

BIM described as Building Information Modeling. In the present time building structural engineering is depended upon BIM. To construct a building is never easy. This process needs to follow a complete life cycle and BIM is the most important part. BIM structure model provides all information from start to end. Structure engineers are using BIM services as it provides more facility rather than other services. A steel fabrication drawing is also an important part of structural engineering. Structural fabricators are using this technique to produce high quality steel fabrication Drawings and Shop Fabrication Drawings.

Structural steel fabrication Drawings includes:
'    Anchor Setting and Column Setting with base plate detail
'    Erection Drawings and Structure Steel Design Models
'    Steel Fabrication Drawings
'    Connection Details and Bills Of materials

Fabrication Drawing is being used to make designs of various structures like Residential Building, commercial buildings, Factories, Mills, Plants, Bridges, Tunnels, Tanks and Bunkers.

BIM Services:

Structural engineers are not only generating 3D views of building but they are generating 4D views by using BIM services. It gives more flexibility to understand about structure. BIM 4D modeling services includes the following steps:
'    Exterior Views- this shows the external part of your building. You can view how your building will look from outside. You can make changes accordingly.
'    Interior Views - this shows internal part of your building. You can select best looking interiors. You can also identify such information like:
1)    Costs and Time Schedule
2)    Quantities and Material Specification
'    Making the 3D visualization like:
1)    3D Rendering
2)    Animation
3)    Walk Through

To generate the 4D view of your building you must need professionals for that. 4D modeling has its own advantages as described below:
'    Error Detection and Faster information Retrieval
'    Cost Saving and Reduces turnaround time
'    Improves design integrity and Removes Design Conflicts
'    Provides maximum accuracy up to 99.9%
