Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of modular design of assembled equipment, and in particular to a Revit-based rapid modular design method and system for assembled equipment. Background Art

[0002] Revit is a commonly used BIM (Building Information Modeling) software that provides comprehensive digital solutions for infrastructure and construction projects. Revit software supports architecture, structure, machinery, piping, electrical and other fields. Through parametric design and multi-professional collaborative operations, it has powerful analysis and simulation functions, can help users optimize design solutions, and can generate detailed construction documents and data.

[0003] With the rapid development of the construction industry, buildings have entered the fast lane of digitalization, informatization and intelligence, and with the proposal of the dual carbon plan, modular building design has received more and more attention. However, the existing modular building design still uses traditional CAD for design, and then uses Revit software to convert the two-dimensional CAD design plan into a three-dimensional design plan, and then uses Revit to deepen the design, split the model, design the support steel frame and output the results. It can be seen that the whole process has a long cycle, requires repeated design deepening process, is inefficient, and the output results are easily affected by individual differences, resulting in uneven quality.

[0004] To this end, we propose a modular rapid design method and system for prefabricated equipment based on Revit. Summary of the invention
