BIM and Parametric Modeling Fundamentals Quiz

Building Information Modelling is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. It is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, from earliest conception to demolition.

The data requirements for life cycle management of constructed assets include geometry and topology, space and names, occupancy, activities, equipment performance, zones, prices, structural, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing behaviors, materials and quality specifications, and operation and maintenance data.

The types of parametric relations in BIM include industry application (Construction vs other), characteristics (Physical and functional data vs geometry), practical usage/capabilities (Visualizing vs life cycle management), software used, and advantages and limitations (Quick visualization vs information repository).

<p>BIM differs from 3D modeling in terms of being a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility, forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, and serving as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility.</p> Signup and view all the answers
