Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of environmental engineering technology and relates to a Bentley-based BIM rapid design method for railway sound barriers, which is a method for rapid and accurate design of sound barriers. Background technology:

[0002] Sound barrier design is the core content of railway environmental engineering design work. Different types of sound barrier models involve many components. The creation and installation of sound barrier unit models require technicians to have a certain amount of structural professional knowledge. In addition, a large amount of repetitive work leads to low design efficiency, time-consuming and labor-intensive design, and poor accuracy of sound barrier layout.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a drawing method for railway sound barrier design to improve design methods, increase efficiency and ensure design quality. Summary of the invention:

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Bentley-based BIM-based rapid design method for railway sound barriers. This method overcomes the low efficiency and poor design accuracy of manual design of special bridge and roadbed sound barriers in the existing technology. It also addresses the problems of insufficient technical expertise and the impact of extensive repetitive work on production costs. This method ensures consistency between drawings and models, reduces errors and omissions in construction drawings, and improves design accuracy and efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A Bentley-based BIM rapid design method for railway sound barriers is characterized by comprising the following steps: determining the sound barrier type and design work site, parametrically creating a three-dimensional model of each component in MicroStation CONNECT Edition (hereinafter referred to as MS); creating a cell library model for each component in the form of .cel, and assembling a standard sound barrier model by determining the cell base point; running the sound barrier design tool set SimulateAlignment, clicking the required cell model and corresponding parameters of the sound barrier design, and clicking the compiled information code with a one-to-one correspondence, then automatically laying out the three-dimensional design of the sound barrier at the required work site by extracting the bridge edge line, and outputting the engineering quantity of each sound barrier component within the work site range by one click by determining the statistical range of the sound barrier at the work site.

[0007] The above method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Determine the structure type, material and height of the sound barrier according to the noise prevention requirements, and determine the location and length of the sound barrier;

[0009] Step 2: Create a 3D model of each component through parameterization in MS and formulate the constraint relationships and constraint variables of each component; establish a .cel parametric unit library, specify the center of the H-beam bottom plate as the unit model base point, and assemble it to form a standard sound barrier model;

[0010] Step 3: Open the bridge model with the work point determined. Based on the positioning code of the bridge vertical wall entity, extract each edge of the vertical wall. Use the long edges along the line direction and in the common relative spatial position as the edge line components. Connect the adjacent long edges with a start and end spacing of 0 to form a line string. Those with non-zero spacing remain unchanged to extract the bridge vertical wall edge line. Create a new edge line layer and define the line type color as green. Load the extracted vertical wall edge line into the specified edge line layer. Using the constraint data between the edge line and the center of the H-shaped steel base plate of the sound barrier, use the translation command to translate the bridge edge line to the edge of the shield to obtain the bridge edge line.

[0011] Step 4: The sound barrier design tool set module includes the settings for the starting distance of the sound barrier, the left and right sides of the sound barrier, the distance between the sound barrier insertion point and the starting point, the work point type, the left and right and up and down offset distances of the sound barrier, the safety channel import port, the MDB file import port, the attribute table import port, the edge line selection, and the associated cell file path options;

[0012] Add the required cell units and attribute information table in the sound barrier design tool set, select the bridge edge line extracted in step 3, and design the required work point sound barrier structure model with one click;

[0013] Step 5: Create different types of sound barrier quantity table headers according to the professional engineering quantity table statistical template and requirements, select the work site range to be counted, and confirm with the left mouse button according to the positioning code information of different types of sound barriers, and export the required sound barrier quantity table with one click.

[0014] Step 4 includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 4.1: Use the SimulateAlignment tool in the noise barrier design tool set to calculate the distance between the first insertion point and the starting point of the edge line, find the tangent direction of the insertion point, and determine the first insertion point. The default value is 0m.

[0016] Step 4.2: Second insertion point = first insertion point position + length of the 3D standard sound barrier model. Calculate the tangent direction of the insertion point and determine the second insertion point.

[0017] Step 4.3: Similarly, from the first insertion point to the last insertion point, all the required bridge edge line locations are equipped with sound barriers;

[0018] Step 4.4: Enter the left and right offset distances and the upper and lower offset distances. The default is 0m. Select the file path of the Cell unit corresponding to the left and right lines, and select the attribute information table corresponding to the model. Click the left mouse button to confirm and design the required work point sound barrier structure model with one click.

[0019] Step 5 includes the following steps:

[0020] Step 5.1: For the models in the selection set, classify and count the number of noise barriers according to their location codes;

[0021] Step 5.2: Query the database for the unit engineering quantity corresponding to each component of the type of sound barrier according to each positioning code;

[0022] Step 5.3: Multiply the quantity or length obtained in step 5.1 by the unit engineering quantity queried in step 5.2 to obtain the total engineering quantity of each component of the sound barrier with the specified location code;

[0023] Step 5.4: Fill in the Excel table of the quantity of each type of sound barrier project according to the table header and template provided by the professional, and export it.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects:

[0025] 1. This invention uses BIM model information and specialized 3D models of bridges, roadbeds, and stations to design 3D sound barriers. This approach balances intuitiveness and authenticity, addressing the low efficiency and poor accuracy of manual design for sound barriers for special bridges and roadbeds. This ensures consistency between drawings and models, reduces errors and omissions in construction drawings, and improves design quality and efficiency.

[0026] 2.
