BIM Application for Engineers

From CAD drawings to a model

The course starts with the model-building process and then uses Autodesk Revit to turn CAD drawings into a 6-story BIM model, worked through step by step on one example case. That gives you a concrete model to test the later applications against.

Three applications after modeling

Each of the three remaining modules takes one BIM use case: clash detection to find conflicts in the model, quantity takeoff to measure what it contains, and 4D simulation to link it to time. Treating them as separate modules keeps each skill easy to isolate.

Who gets value from it

• Engineers who already read drawings and want to move into model-based workflows
• Students following an intermediate BIM track
• Project staff interested in cost estimation and scheduling uses of a model
