ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION MODELING PROGRAMS WHEN DESIGNING BRIDGES

Abstract

[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT The article considers a new approach in the design of bridges (BIM-technology), which consists of creating a digital information model containing all information about the future object. When using BIM-technology, the changes made are automatically synchronized and updated for all participants in the process. The review and the comparative analysis of the software complexes realizing a design task: Revit and Tekla is executed. The Revit program has a large number of building element libraries. There are no such libraries for bridges, so special tools are needed, the creation of which requires considerable effort and time. The Tekla program offers a large library of useful elements, a functional interface for designing nodes and convenient means of generating custom extensions. Keywords: bridge, digital model, BIM-technology, information modeling, computer-aided design system, software complexes.
