Computer Aided Construction Design in a BIM Process
20.0 ECTS creditsThe course comprises theoretical as well as practical components. The main part of the course consists of a construction project plan comprising:
-area planning
-construction planning
-building planning including heat and humidity calculation
-construction estimates for a small two-storey timber house
-cost estimate
The focus is on students' ability to carry out a major project process using computer-based aids.The use of computer-based aids involves:
-BIM as a work process
-information flows in the planning process
-handling drawings in the construction and design process
-construction planning in CAD
-drawing content, drawing structure, and supplementary descriptions
-dimensioning
-model and reference file management
-storage, plotting, and file management
-production of three-dimensional models and illustrations
-calculating accumulated load with computer aid
-calculating energy balance with computer aid
-calculating cost with computer aid
-import and export of files and information
The project is mandatory and carried out individually.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, computer exercises, seminars, supervision, and possibly field studies.
