Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) |
|
Saturday, November 21, 2009
2 - 3 pm
Presentation:
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are innovative approaches to digitally or "virtually" building an infrastructure in the computer before constructing and operating it in the real world. Three and four dimensional (3D + time) or N-dimensional computer models are built to represent the infrastructure and its individual components in a coordinated and consolidated virtual project model.
Virtual models can then be visualized, tested and shared amongst authorized project teams, managers and contractors to evaluate design and construction options, to capture design faults, and to resolve conflicts through the ability to see the project from any point of view or point in time. The models can also be used for stakeholder participation and community approvals, before the start of physical work on site. |
