Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of BIM for hydropower and water conservancy projects, and in particular relates to a modeling method for a parametric BIM model of a round arch straight wall type top arch component on a Revit platform. Background Art

[0002] In hydropower and water conservancy projects, underground powerhouse cavern projects are a common construction project. However, due to the influence of factors such as geological conditions and construction methods, the arch excavation structure has a large span, different geometric dimensions, different support materials and types, and many non-standard components. The workload of model establishment and information addition is huge. Therefore, it is necessary to parametrically create the cavern arch information model. Based on the 3D design software, a series of parameters and rules are used to drive the generation of the 3D model, so that the model can be automatically updated according to changes in related engineering content, speeding up the modeling speed and improving the degree of standardization.

[0003] Revit is currently a mainstream BIM software with functions such as data compatibility, parametric modeling, and secondary development. In the Revit platform, model building is completed by creating instances of various component families. Parametric modeling is mainly achieved by creating families with geometric dimensions, materials, operation and maintenance information. The shape of structural components can be changed by changing the control parameters of the family model, thereby achieving rapid modeling and application. The "Design Code for Underground Powerhouses of Hydropower Stations" (NB / T 35090-2016) clearly states that the cross-section of the main powerhouse and the main transformer tunnel should adopt a circular arch straight wall shape. The top arch rise-span ratio of the circular arch straight wall section needs to be determined in combination with the surrounding rock conditions and the rock strength stress ratio, and the top arch seat needs to be rounded. The circular arch straight wall shape is a type of tangent three arc segments and the lower part is tangent to the vertical straight line. The curve design is relatively complex. The following problems exist in the process of establishing a circular arch straight wall information model on the Revit platform:

[0004] (1) The Revit platform does not include a component family for underground cavern arches that is consistent with specifications and engineering experience. The model family library provided by the software cannot meet the BIM model requirements for underground engineering structures. Therefore, it is necessary to create underground cavern arch straight wall components suitable for various sizes based on the general family model category to ensure the versatility of the components.

[0005] (2) The arch type of an underground cavern is generally formed through excavation, support, and other measures. It is necessary to calculate the engineering quantities during the construction process. However, Revit software can only calculate the engineering quantities of the established solid model, and the related excavation and support quantities cannot be directly output. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the relationship between the model excavation quantity, support quantity, and arch component parameters to accurately and efficiently output this part of the engineering quantity. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides a method for modeling a parametric model of a circular arch straight wall type top arch component, comprising the following steps:

[0022] The calculation formula for the arc length of the central arch is:

[0023]

[0024] Among them, S1 is the length of the central arch, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, H s The central arch height;

[0025] The calculation formula for the arc length of the left and right small arches is:

[0026]

[0027] Among them, S2 is the arc length of the left and right arches, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, and R2 is the radius of the left and right small arches.

[0028] Furthermore, the calculation method of the logical operation parameters also includes a verification method of the basic parameter numerical input, including:

[0029] Calculate the rise-to-span ratio of the top arch design model and determine whether the rise-to-span ratio complies with the specification;

[0049] The present invention provides a modeling method for constructing a BIM model of an underground cavern round arch straight wall top arch based on the Revit platform. The method uses the "family" function of the Revit software to complete the creation of a parametric three-dimensional model of the underground cavern round arch straight wall top arch component. By controlling the spatial size parameters of the model, the parametric design of the BIM model of the underground cavern round arch straight wall top arch is realized. Through secondary processing of the BIM model information, the automatic statistics of related engineering quantities are realized, and the problems of low efficiency in family modeling of irregular cavern top arch types and low application of model information in the Revit software are solved.

[0050] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 A step diagram of the modeling method of this application is provided, as shown in the figure, including the following contents:

[0052] Step S100: Create a model of a circular arch straight wall type top arch, including: defining the family category, material type, and name corresponding to the model, selecting the corresponding REVIT function, and generating the top arch structure corresponding to the model; the top arch structure is a certain thickness of concrete sprayed on the rock surface after the top arch of the underground project is excavated. The top arch structure in this application includes two straight walls and three inscribed circular arches. The centers of the left and right circular arches are on the same straight line, and the center of the middle circular arch is on the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the left and right circular arches; Figure 3 As shown, the centers O2 and O3 of the left and right arches are on the same straight line, and the center O1 of the middle arch is on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting O2 and O3.

[0053] During the implementation process, this application provides two REVIT corresponding functions to realize modeling.

[0054] The first method is to use the lofting function (step S101):

[0055] Select the "lofting" method provided in the Revit "Family" function to create it. The lofting method requires providing the software with the "contour" and "lofting path".

[0056] Specific as Figure 2 As shown, the outline of the model is determined to be a rectangle, and the lofting path is two straight walls and three inscribed circular arches.

[0057] Figure 2 P210 is a schematic diagram of the outline and the lofting path, where P211 indicates that the outline is a rectangle, P213 indicates the length L of the circular arch straight wall, P212 is the lofting path, and the arrow indicates the lofting direction. As shown in the figure, the lofting path is a three-segment inscribed circular arch; P214 is the thickness δ of the shotcrete;

[0058] After performing the layout processing according to the layout path shown in Figure P210, the model structure shown in Figure P220 is generated.

[0059] The modeling process generates basic parameters such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the basic parameters of the profile include the length of the arch wall L; the thickness of the sprayed concrete δ; the basic parameters of the layout path include the arch width B, the height of the straight wall H w , the radius of the large arch in the middle is R1, and the radius of the small arches on the left and right sides is R2.

[0060] The second method is to use the stretching function (step S102):

[0061] Select the "Extrusion" method provided in the Revit "Family" function to create it.

[0062] Specific as Figure 5 As shown, first determine the cross section corresponding to the stretching to be the geometric structure corresponding to the circular arch structure, such as Figure 5 As shown on P512, its cross section is a three-segment inscribed circular arch. P513 indicates that the corresponding stretching direction is the normal direction of the plane in which the cross section lies. The stretching length is the length of the straight wall, such as the length of the rectangle shown on P511. After stretching according to the stretching path shown on P510, the resulting structure is the model structure shown on P520.

[0063] The basic parameters of the section include: the thickness of the sprayed concrete δ, the arch width B, the height of the vertical wall H w , the radius of the middle large arch is R1, and the radius of the left and right small arches is R2;

[0064] The basic parameters of the stretching path include: the length L of the arch straight wall.

[0065] Step S110: define the logical operation parameters of the model:

[0066] The logical operation parameters are used to realize the constitutive elements of this model, that is, the constraint relationship between geometric figures. The realization process is realized by calculating the basic parameters of the model. In this application, the constituent elements of the arch straight wall type top arch include at least three arcs and two straight lines, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 geometric figures.

[0067] Logical operation parameters such as Figure 3 As shown, including: the radius difference ΔR of the large and small arches, the center arch height H s , total height of structure H, horizontal length of central arch D, arc length of central arch S1, arc length of left and right arches S2. The calculation process of the above logical operation parameters requires the input of basic parameters for calculation.

[0068] The specific calculation methods include:

[0069] 1) The calculation formula for the difference in radius between the large and small arches is:

[0070] ΔR=R1-R2, where ΔR is the difference in radius between the large and small arches, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, and R2 is the radius of the left and right small arches;

[0071] 2) The calculation formula for the central large circular arch rise is:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, H s is the sagittal height of the central arch, ΔR is the difference in radius between the large and small arches, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, and R2 is the radius of the left and right small arches;

[0074] 3) The formula for calculating the total height of the structure is:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, H is the total height of the structure, H w is the height of the vertical wall, H s is the central arch height, B is the arch width;

[0077] 4) The calculation formula for the horizontal length of the central arch is:

[0078] D=2×(R1 2 -(R1-H s ) 2 ), where D is the length of the central arch, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, and H s The central arch height;

[0079] 5) The calculation formula for the arc length of the central arch is:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, S1 is the length of the central arch, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, H s The central arch height;

[0082] 6) The calculation formula for the arc length of the left and right small arches is:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, S2 is the arc length of the left and right arches, R1 is the radius of the middle large arch, and R2 is the radius of the left and right small arches.

[0085] Since this step achieves the shape of a circular arch with straight walls by changing the control parameters of the family model, the result must comply with the requirements of the "Code for Design of Underground Powerhouses of Hydropower Stations" (NB / T 35090-2016). Therefore, it is necessary to verify whether the calculation results of the logical operation parameters meet the standards. The specific implementation process is to input the basic parameter values to calculate the rise-to-span ratio of the top arch design model and determine whether the rise-to-span ratio meets the standards.

[0086] The calculation method of the rise-to-span ratio is:

[0087] K=(HH W ) / B, where K is the rise-span ratio, H is the total height of the structure, and H w Where A is the height of the vertical wall and B is the width of the arch. The standard to be complied with is the "Code for Design of Underground Powerhouses of Hydropower Stations" (NB / T 35090-2016).

[0088] If the rise-to-span ratio calculated based on the input basic parameters does not meet the specifications, it is necessary to continuously adjust the input basic parameter values of the model until the requirements are met.

[0089] At this point, the construction of the model is basically completed. You can set the "Family Category" of the round arch straight wall family to "General Model", its material type to cast-in-place concrete, and its naming standard to round arch straight wall type top arch_H w / B_Spray mix thickness δ.

[0090] In actual engineering design applications, it is also necessary to establish the relationship between the model excavation volume, support volume and top arch component parameters, and output this part of the engineering volume accurately and efficiently.

[0091] Step S120 defines the model output, including: support surface area, number of supporting anchors of the circular arch straight wall section, and excavation volume of the circular arch straight wall section.

[0092] Assuming that the entire perimeter of the circular arched wall opening is supported, the anchor rod (anchor cable) support parameters are φ25@a×bm (using anchor rods with a diameter of 25 mm, and spacing and row spacing of a and b respectively). The specific calculation is as follows:

[0093] 1) The algorithm for calculating the support surface area is:

[0094] S ur =(2×H w +S1+2×S2)×L,

[0095] Among them, S ur is the support surface area, S1 is the arc length of the central arch, S2 is the arc length of the left and right arches, and L is the length of the arch straight wall;

[0096] 2) The support amount of the circular arch straight wall section is the number of support anchors. The number of support anchors is related to the support surface area and its calculation method is:

[0097] Right now:

[0098] Where N is the number of anchor rods, a and b are the spacing and row spacing of anchor rods, and H is the spacing of anchor rods. w is the height of the straight wall, S1 is the length of the central arch, S2 is the length of the left and right arches, L is the length of the arch straight wall, S ur is the support surface area;

[0099] The number of anchor rods for support expansion n also includes the number of anchor rods after deducting the support area of the straight wall section. The calculation method is:

[0100] Among them, N1 is the number of support anchors, a and b are the spacing and row spacing of support anchors, S1 is the arc length of the central arch, S2 is the arc length of the left and right arches, and L is the length of the arch straight wall.

[0101] 3) The calculation method of the excavation volume of the circular arch vertical wall is:

[0102] Among them, M is the excavation volume of the arch straight wall section, B is the arch width, and H is the total height of the structure.

[0103] Although the Revit software schedule function cannot directly obtain the support amount and excavation amount of the arch straight wall section, it can be set as a shared parameter through H w The above results are automatically calculated by Revit software, and are finally reflected in the engineering quantity table of arch straight wall components. Figure 4 As shown, the excavation volume, support surface area, and support volume are all calculated by the algorithm provided in this step.

[0104] The present invention provides two methods for creating BIM models of underground powerhouse cavern circular arch straight wall structures, realizing the creation of parameterized-driven models. By modifying basic input parameters, the underground cavern circular arch straight wall model can be accurately and quickly created. On the other hand, through the parameterized BIM model, a calculation relationship between each basic input parameter and the engineering quantity, support quantity and excavation quantity of the shotcrete component of the circular arch straight wall section is established, realizing a seamless connection between the model and the output engineering quantity. The calculation results are highly accurate and can meet the usage requirements in various application scenarios.

[0105] The above disclosures are only a few specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
