New Methodology for Automated Model Simplification for BIM Processes
A new methodology for the automated simplification of 3D BIM models improves performance in the project development process. This is made possible by the latest version of the 3D_Evolution Simplifier soſtware.
T
he Franco-German soſtware manufacturer CoreTechnologie (CT) presents a new methodology for the automated simplification and conversion of 3D models in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The current version of the 3D_Evolution Simplifier conversion tool significantly enhances performance in the project development process. Planners, designers and engineers in the fields of architecture, construction, mechanical engineering and plant design in particular will benefit from the new soſtware version.
Automated Simplification of Complex BIM Models
CAD and IFC models are automatically simplified with the 3D_Evolution Simplifier through significant data reduction using a methodology optimised for BIM models and systems. Easy-to- use simplification and filter functions are executed via scripting in an automated process. The so- called batch manager automatically simplifies
large numbers of models and converts them into target formats for established architectural soſtware solutions such as Revit, or into formats like MicroStation IFC, DGN, or DWG.
Envelope Geometry Boosts Performance
The 3D_Evolution Simplifier enables the smooth conversion of BIM models without losing relevant information or visual quality. File sizes can be reduced by a factor of up to 30 through the generation of envelope geometry. Internal geometry, holes and complex profiles are eliminated, creating envelope geometries while preserving the models outside shape. Also, components not visible from the outside are removed using a special filter function.
Performance Optimisation Through Instance Recognition
3D_Evolution recognises components that occur multiple times, such as steel beams, doors, windows or screws. These identical geometries
are instantiated and then positioned multiple times in the assembly structure. Small parts with very low volume, such as screws, seals or brackets, are identified and automatically removed if needed. This data reduction is especially helpful when passing on data to partners who do not require these details.
3D_Evolution supports both, tessellated geometries for visualisations and exact CAD data for design and planning. All steps can be integrated into existing workflows as automated processes, including customised batch processing of large data volumes.
More Efficiency for BIM Processes
3D_Evolution’s automated model simplification makes working with large BIM data significantly more efficient. Companies benefit from faster loading times, smooth processing, reduced storage requirements and seamless internal and external data exchange.
