"preliminary" BIM structural
model usually consists of the fact
that the BIM structural modeler
models elements of identical
physical characteristics and that
the BIM structural elements are
modeled at the same place as in
the BIM architecture model.
This scenario is very reminiscent
of Example 2, where I showed
that by clicking „Run“ in Dynamo
scripts, it is possible to copy
elements from a linked BIM
architecture model to a BIM
construction model.
So why not do the same with
columns, walls, and slabs and get
a "preliminary" BIM construction
model in a very fast and efficient
way?
Assuming that you like the idea of
copying columns, walls, and slabs
from a BIM architecture model to
a BIM construction model, the
problem remains in "translating"
BIM architectural elements into
BIM structural elements.
This can be helped, you can
guess, by Dynamo, which
translates the columns, walls, and
slabs from the „Architectural“
category into the „Structural“
category.
Of course, it is further possible to
adapt the generated constituent
elements in the BIM construction
model to the families loaded into
the BIM construction model
template.
Only two Dynamo scripts are
required for such a thing.
Please watch the video:
If you want to optimize the design
process further and get from the
BIM structural model to the
structural model to perform a
preliminary static structural
stability check, you need to
model the foundations and
beams, and your BIM structural
model is ready for a preliminary
static analysis.
Of course, the process itself from
exporting the BIM construction
model to generating the FEM
model can be optimized, and
Dynamo and Python can
significantly assist you in this. It is
also possible with Dynamo and
Python to return data from an
analytical model to a BIM
structural model to visualize data
obtained in a static analysis, to
generate reinforcement for
concrete construction projects,
and much more.
Here I have to limit myself to the
examples for BIM modeling
automation since it is not my
intention to present you a
complete workflow related to
optimization and automation of
model generation of a particular
discipline in a project, but to give
you an idea what are the
capabilities of Dynamo and
Python, as the main tools in
automating BIM modeling in the
BIM workflow.
Effective Data
Generation In The

Model
Example 4
Generation of surface and line
loads from the drawings of
loading diagrams - it is very
debatable where exactly this
example belongs. Namely, static
loads in the construction model
do not fall within geometry, and
on the other hand, it is
impossible to classify them as
real data either.
But, as they are far closer to the
data, here I am going to address
the automation of load input in
the BIM construction model.
If you want to input loads into the
BIM construction model, which
often requires a lot of manual
work, and which can further
result in a BIM model with input
loads whose accuracy and
precision are questionable, a
possible solution may be to take
load values from load diagrams
in the BIM construction model
and generate surface and line
loads directly from load
diagrams. Depending on the
project complexity, only inputting
the load into the BIM
construction model can take up
to several hours, while using the
Dynamo script, after completing
load diagrams and reading the
load values from the diagrams
with Dynamo, you can generate
surface and line loads literally for
a few seconds.
