# Information Technology - Lecture 1 ## What is AEC? - Sector of construction industry that provides services on the architectural design and engineering design ## Digital technologies - Enhanced visualization - Better data sharing - Reduction in building waste - Increased productivity - Safety improvement ## Digital tools and implementation - AR and VR - Building information modeling - Digital twin - 3D scanning - 3D printing ## What are the AEC trends in industry? - Digital twin connected with BIM -"It enables comprehensive data management through the entire life cycle" # Lecture (2) ## What is drafting? - It is the art of creating technical drawings for the use in manufacturing and engineering ## What is digital drafting? - Using specialized computer programs like Auto CAD and Revit to produce comprehensive drawings and plans ## Computer-aided design (CAD) - Create two-dimensional 2D or 3D models using the computer ## BIM (Building information model) Holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. ## Benefits of BIM - Maximized efficiency - Reduced cost and waste - Communication and collaboration - Less risk - Better end results - Improved sustainability ## 3D Printing - It is the construction of objects using CAD models under a computer control ## 3D Printing Process 1. CAD model 2. STL file 3. Slicing software 4. Slicer layers 5. 3D Printer 6. 3D printed object. ## 3D Scanning - Process of analyzing real-word objects and collecting 3D dimensional data. # Lecture (3) ## BIM | Product | Activity | System | |-----|-----|-----| | Focus on end product | Creating model | Buisness Structure | | Most narrow view | Widest view | | | | | ## LOD = LOD (detail) + LOI (Information) **Development** **Information** ## BIM 100 - Overall building massing including volume, light location. ## BIM 200 - Approximate geometry including size and shape. ## BIM 300 - Precise geometry, orientation, shape, and size. ## BIM 400 - Fabrication specific, assembly accuracy. ## BIM 500 - As built, Constructed assemblies that are accurate and actual. ## Revit Strength: - Organized - Easy to use - Set of object libraries - Multi-user interface ## Revit Weakness - Memory system slows down - Parametric rules limitation ## What is a digital twin? - A digital representation of a physical object. It can help in simulating real situations and their outcome.
