Avaliação da perda de informações no processo de transferência de dados entre softwares BIM

Abstract

The compatibility of projects has been developing for about 30 years in Brasil and, with the technological advance, integration and management tools have emerged more and more effective. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) is distinguished by the capability of union of several disciplines of Architecture sector, Engineering and Construction (AEC). The main objective of BIM is to provide the “n” dimensional visualization of a project, in other words, to obtain from 3D model information as quantitatives, detailings, time, costs and much more.In order to happen in a satisfatory way, the variety of softwares that operate according to BIM concept should work in a universal language (IFC), and, this way, be interoperable among one another. Studies show that the efficiency of the IFC format is still not enough, and this research proves that, indeed, the interoperability of the projects between softwares using such extention is harmed, because of problems such as loss of element properties and graphical changes in the project.This research intended to evaluate the functionality of BIM platform through two basic steps, the first, interviews with professionals that work with BIM tools, and the second, the development of base projects, as well as the exchange between these in BIM programs.
