Building Information Modeling for Structural EngineeringA smoother workflow and interoperability with the Autodeskstructural engineering BIM solution.Building information modeling (BIM) is anintegrated process built on coordinated, reliableinformation about a project from design throughconstruction and into operations. By adoptingBIM, architects, engineers, contractors, andowners can more easily create coordinated, digitaldesign information and documentation; use thatinformation to visualize, simulate, and analyzeperformance, appearance, and cost; and reliablydeliver the project faster, more economically, andwith reduced environmental impact.BIM for structural engineers follows this samemethodology for the entire structural engineeringprocess, focusing on a digital model that can beused for coordination with architects; mechanical,electrical, and plumbing engineers; and civilengineers that is integrated with analysis, design,and construction documentation, and extendingthat digital model from design through fabricationand construction.Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis ProfessionalAutodesk Robot Structural Analysis software offersa smoother workflow and interoperability withthe Autodesk structural engineering BIM solution,Autodesk Revit Structure software.
