| Abstract |
In order to implement BIM (Building information Modeling) effectively, picking up and combining right softwares from available resources are required. And it is important to interchange data between applications without loosing any information. Data interchange using the international Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for building information model has been recently recognized. Even though many softwares are supporting IFC format, there has not been enough research on the problems of practical data exchange and its implementation. The problem of BIM data exchange is mostly caused by flexibility of IFC model structure and certification which does not test roundtrips between different software products. In the presented research work the interoperability performance of three BIM S/W, which are the most widely used and IFC2x3 compatible architectural design applications, has been evaluated. As a result of the research, the directions for the interchange data of BIM S/W and mapping classes between BIM S/W were suggested. |
