    Contribution of building information modelling working to structural engineering analysis
    (İstanbul Gedik Üniversitesi, 2023) Ali, Mohamed Nur; Nazilli, Hasan Bozkurt
    Building Information Modelling (BIM) offers significant benefits and potential within the realm of structural engineering as well. These potentials encompass aspects such as enhanced productivity, improved coordination, better visualization, comprehensive documentation, and decreased waste generation. However, realizing these advantages necessitates the establishment of an effective mechanism to facilitate seamless data transfer from the BIM platform to the structural analysis domain. The existence of challenges in data transfer and interoperability stands as a prominent barrier, impeding the full integration of structural engineers into the BIM workflow. The primary aim of this thesis revolves around exploring the feasibility of transitioning from the Revit BIM platform to structural software. This is achieved by establishing a framework for the exchange of a central Revit model, enriched with pertinent load-bearing data, with two commonly utilized structural software programs: SOFISTIK and ETAB. The initial phase involves an in-depth analysis of BIM's application in structural engineering. This scrutiny emphasizes its influence on structural design and workflow, highlights the key advantages it offers, and identifies challenges encountered during implementation. The study subsequently defines and delves into three primary levels of interoperability between BIM and structural software: the direct native file exchange (applicable when dealing with the same commercial software providers), the direct link or bidirectional data exchange, and the utilization of the IFC (Industry Foundation Class) standard. The theoretical exploration of these levels furnishes valuable insights into their workings and implications. To validate the thesis's propositions, two comprehensive case studies are conducted. The first case assesses the potential of direct link interoperability, facilitated by add-ons or plug-ins, between the Revit BIM platform and SOFISTIK. The second case examines the viability of indirect link interoperability between the Revit BIM platform and ETAB through the application of the IFC standard. Notably, the research concludes that data exchange via this interface is both well-coordinated and efficient, underlining its reliability within the structural engineering BIM workflow. In conclusion, the findings of this thesis contribute pertinent insights into BIM's interoperability within the context of structural engineering. Moreover, the study corroborates prior research by affirming that interoperability, particularly at the direct link level, represents the most efficacious approach to facilitating seamless data communication between the Revit BIM platform and structural engineering software.
