Project kick-off openSIM
On 15.11. was the project kick-off for the research project openSIM. The goal is the development of standardized methods and interfaces for the transfer and use of heterogeneous building diagnosis data.
The sustainable use of our environment and resources is becoming more and more important in all areas of life. Inextricably linked to this is the endeavor to preserve existing infrastructure structures for as long as possible. One way to achieve this goal is to evaluate the existing structure on the basis of realistic structural information, which can be determined by means of structural diagnostic investigations. The structural information (SI) obtained in this process, together with a real building geometry, forms the basis for an as-built BIM model when, for example, as-built documents are not available. The process of as-built assessment with SI data from task definition to investigation planning and data provision is not yet regulated in the Building Information Method.
This is exactly where the openSIM research project comes in. We focus on the development of standardized methods and interfaces for the transfer and use of heterogeneous diagnostic data in the BIM context. For this purpose, for example, standard modules for client information requirements and BIM execution plans are to be developed.
At the kick-off with representatives of the engineering office Bau-Consult Hermsdorf Gesellschaft beratender Ingenieure mbH, MKP GmbH, the software company customQuake GmbH, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) ("Anstalt öffentlichen Rechts") and the Materials Research and Testing Institute at the Bauhaus University Weimar, we were able to exchange information about our common goals and plans within the framework of our research project. We have planned a lot for the next three years of the project and are looking forward to the implementation and exciting project results.
In connection with this project, there are two vacancies to be covered at the professorship.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport as part of the mFUND with a total of 2.1 million euros.
