MH4121 Building Information Modelling Syllabus:
MH4121 Building Information Modelling Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES
To equip students with skills and information to build comprehensive Building Information Models (BIM) for stage wise project analysis.
To help students work and iterate on parameters that impact design options
To sensitise students, and enhance their potential at energy modelling.
To let student’s review and optimise the complex details in the design solution so as to avoid construction risks.
To equip students with skills on cost optimisation with design inputs using appropriate Digital software and Media.
UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS
Key concepts of BIM – reading and manipulating the software Interface – navigating within views – selection methods – the importance of levels and grids- creating walls, doors, windows, and components – working with essential modification commands and load family. Creating floors, ceilings, and stairs – working with type and instance parameters – importing CAD drawings – understanding the project browser and type properties palettes – adding sheets – inserting views onto sheets – adding dimensions and text to the mode and plotting
UNIT II ADVANCED MODELING –FAMILY TYPES AND TOPOSURFACE MODELLING
Creating curtain walls, schedules, details, a custom family, and family types – “flex” a family with family types and work with reference planes – creating rooms and an area plan – tag components – customize existing wall styles. Create and edit a topo surface, add site and parking components – draw label contours – work with phasing – understand groups and links – work with stacked walls – and learn the basics of rendering and create a project template.
UNIT III RENDERING AND MATERIAL APPLICATION
Choosing material for buildings- Creating custom walls, floors, and roofs – keynoting – working with mass elements – enhancing rendering with lighting – producing customized materials – Using sun and shadow settings – Walkthrough technique – adding decals – working with design options and work sets – and calculating energy analysis – managing revisions
UNIT IV BIM FOR BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION
Energy simulation for conceptual BIM models using massing- Detailed modeling using design elements- Rapid energy modeling and simulation – Conceptual Energy Analysis features to simulate performance to produce energy consumption, carbon neutrality and renewable potential reports.
UNIT V BIM FOR COST ESTIMATING, PROJECT PHASING AND ADMINISTRATION
Introduction and theoretical information on the following topics- Model based Cost Estimating – Challenges in cost estimating with BIM- Cad geometrics vs BIM element description- Visual data models – Material substitutions and value engineering- detailed estimates and take off sheets- XML and automated cost estimate- project phasing and management- 4D modeling -BIM for project lifecycles.
TOTAL: 60 PERIODS
