Bauhaus Summer School - Forecast Engineering
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar presents special topics of Structural Engineering to highlight the broad spectrum of civil engineering in the field of modeling and simulation. The expected outputs are to enable the participating students to deal with advanced methods in model validation and simulation.
As part of the Bauhaus Summer School, the chair of Intelligent Technical Design offers the project "Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Engineering Design".
Building Information Modeling is based on the idea of the continuous use of digital building models throughout the entire lifecycle of a built facility, starting from the early conceptual design and detailed design phases, to the construction phase, and the long phase of operation. Students who successfully complete this project will be able to understand the fundamental concepts of BIM and show critical awareness of the current design collaboration problems. They will learn how to utilise state-of-the-art BIM design, analysis and visualisation tools to support the development of practical solutions to engineering design problems.
Topics included:
- Geometric and parametric modelling (B-Rep, CSG)
- Object-oriented modelling (EXPRESS, UML)
- Process modelling (BPMN)
- Interoperability and collaboration concepts (IFC, IDM, BCF, etc.)
- BIM based design, analyses and visualisation (3D/4D BIM, Structures, Energy)
