Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of prefabricated building construction, and specifically relates to the application of IFC files in BIM models during construction. Background Technique

[0002] In prefabricated buildings, Revit is mainly used for BIM management throughout the life cycle. However, with the implementation of the national carbon emission reduction policy, prefabricated buildings, which are produced in factories, assembled on construction sites, have low noise, short construction periods, and low carbon emissions, have developed rapidly. Among prefabricated buildings, steel structure prefabricated buildings have emerged particularly prominently and are being applied in more and more residential projects. In the field of steel structure construction, Trimble's Tekla software is more professional and targeted than Revit. Its core functions, such as steel structure detailed design and component list generation, are essential for any enterprise related to steel structures. However, Tekla is currently generally only used as the core software in the design stage and is not involved in subsequent production management.

[0003] Currently, Trimble's Tekla software can achieve the detailed design and quantity calculation of steel structure projects. With the help of Tekla software, the BIM of prefabricated buildings can be realized. However, the existing technology is mainly applied to the drawing deepening and quantity calculation before construction. Although the BIM of the design stage is realized, for the production, processing, installation, and quality inspection processes in the construction life cycle, BIM technology has not been fully applied to achieve process management. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide the application of IFC files in BIM models during construction to solve the problem that BIM technology has not been fully applied to the production, processing, installation, and quality inspection processes in the construction life cycle as mentioned in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The application of IFC files in BIM models during construction. Users upload their BIM models to the platform, and the platform parses the BIM models and provides corresponding services. Using Java backend technology and HTML+CSS+JS frontend technology, a service platform is constructed. The functions provided mainly include component information management, including but not limited to the addition, deletion, modification, and query of component information, the parsing and storage of model data, the display of models, and the association of component information and model data. The usage process is as follows:

[0006] Step 1: The user creates a construction project;

[0007] Step 2: The user enters component information and records the component status;

[0008] Step 3: The user imports the project BIM model;

[0009] Step 4: The server background parses and stores the BIM model data;

[0010] Step 5: The platform front-end displays the model and the component list;

[0011] Step 6: The user clicks on the corresponding component in the model or clicks on the corresponding information in the component list;

[0012] Step 7: Display the relevant information associated with the component.

[0013] Preferably, in step 2, the component status is to be processed, processing, processed, installed, installed completed.

[0014] Preferably, in step 3, the BIM model imported by the user is the BIM model generated by Tekla.

[0015] Preferably, in step 4, the server background parses and stores the BIM model data using BIMServer.

[0016] Preferably, in step 5, the platform front-end displays the model and the component list using BIMSurfer.

[0017] Preferably, in step 7, the relevant information is component status, component weight, component quantity, component type.

[0018] Preferably, the Web-side platform is built based on existing mature front-end and back-end technologies, including Spring + Spring MVC + Mybatis + Html + Css + JavaScript + Mysql.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides the application of IFC files in BIM models in construction, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The main technical point of the present invention is to use BIMServer and BIMsurfer to parse and display the BIM model. BIMServer is an open-source software used to build a BIM server, which supports the management of BIM data in IFC format. Based on its open-source characteristics, it can be used as a BIM server for the research and development of network BIM tool software. BIMSurfer is also an open-source software mainly used for front-end display of IFC models. As long as the IFC model can be completely parsed and the component information in the model can be obtained, the component names in the model information can be compared with the component information entered by the user, and the corresponding associations can be established, thus realizing digital management in the production and construction processes.

[0021] 2. Based on the IFC model generated by Tekla software, the present invention constructs the integration of model information and production management system, thus solving the problem that BIM technology cannot be used for management in the construction life cycle of prefabricated buildings, making the construction process more standardized and the construction management more efficient.

[0022] 3. The present invention is based on the BIM model. BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology is a data-based tool applied to engineering design, construction, and management. Through the integration of digital and information models of buildings, it is shared and transmitted throughout the entire life cycle of project planning, operation, and maintenance, enabling engineering technicians to correctly understand and efficiently respond to various building information, providing a basis for collaborative work for design teams and all parties involved in construction, including construction and operation units, and playing an important role in improving production efficiency, saving costs, and shortening the construction period.
