3D BIM MODELS
Structure
Structural Modelling
This is the representation of structural members such as beams, columns, slabs, footings, piles, reinforcement, post tension cables etc. One of the major benefit of using BIM for structures is to enable accurate calculation of cost and quantities associated and also optimize components like Rebar to the minutest detail. Techture leads this process by integrating analysis and design through the use of the BIM model.
Interior
Interior Modelling
Techture has an efficient team to precisely model the required families/components for interior BIM modelling. Interior modelling is important at the planning stage of projects as it is crucial to plan the locations of all the MEP components. If all the interior details including furniture and other aesthetic models are modelled according to the exact dimensions and appearance, it gives a more detailed visual appeal to the model and also provides better idea of the space constraints related to the project. Also, the study of interaction of the interior components with the structural and architectural components is important to be virtually executed and any possible coordination issues should be dealt with before procurement of expensive interior items.
Electrical Services
Electrical Modelling
Electrical systems are the lifeline of any building. As buildings get increasingly complex, modelling of electrical components is not only necessary to avoid clashes and delays on site, but also for linking with Building automation systems (BAS/BMS) once the building has been constructed. Elements like cable trays, switches, electrical equipment and fixtures, lighting, telephone, nurse call, security, data, communication etc. are all modeled under this discipline.
Plumbing Systems
Plumbing Modelling
Plumbing systems of any building comprise of drainage, water supply, waste disposal, rainwater, stormwater drainage etc. Pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fixtures, valves comprise these systems. At Techture we use 3D plumbing models not just for clash detection but also for pipe sizing and pressure loss calculations.
Landscape
Landscape Modelling
The landscape level BIM Models incorporate terrain, topography and other landscape components like ponds, trees, existing natural elements etc. An accurate 3D Model of the landscape can be associated with the available site survey data. A digital database of important landscape features like trees, shrubs, ponds etc. can be used for getting centralized information about the large array of elements included in the drawings and existing terrain.
Firefighting Systems
Firefighting Modelling
Fire hazards are a major threat to modern buildings. Piping, sprinklers, fire hose, hose reel, extinguishers, valves, smoke detectors, fire alarm systems are all part of the 3D firefighting models that we create. Creation of 3D models helps in checking whether these systems are clashing with the structural framing of the building, or if the ceiling heights can be optimized.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure Modelling
BIM is not just confined to buildings but also has immense potential to benefit infrastructural developments. Projects like highways, metros, flyovers can be highly augmented through the use of virtual modelling and coordination tools. The model can be useful for spatial coordination of services and progressively for other important deliverable like accurate quantity estimation and 4D simulations. Important calculations like cut and fill analysis and mass haul diagrams can be dynamically generated from the modules provided by BIM assisted programs. BIM helps to centralize the information related to these mass scale projects.
3D modelling (or three-dimensional modeling) is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any surface of an object (either inanimate or living) in three dimensions via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. Someone who works with 3D models may be referred to as a 3D modelling. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.
Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.
3D modelling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers.
