Break it down before you build it up.
Building Information Modeling for Structural Engineering Integrated tools for modeling, coordination, analysis, design documentation, as well as shop drawings and fabrication.
Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can more easily create coordinated, digital design information and documentation; use that information to visualize, simulate, and analyze performance, appearance, and cost; and reliably deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact.
BIM for structural engineers follows this same methodology for the entire structural engineering process, focusing on a digital model that can be used for coordination with architects; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers; and civil engineers that is integrated with analysis, design, and construction documentation, and extending that digital model from design through fabrication and construction. Autodesk Revit Structure Autodesk Revit Structure software integrates multimaterial physical and analytical models, providing concurrent structural modeling for more efficient, more up-to-date documentation, as well as tight integration for analysis and design.
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software is a collaborative, versatile, and fast structural analysis and design application that incorporates BIM, allowing engineers to readily analyze a wide variety of structures.

1.1 What is building information modeling, and how does it apply to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2010?
Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated workflow that allows architects, engineers, and builders to explore a project digitally before its built. Coordinated, consistent information is used throughout the process to: Design innovative projects Accurately visualize physical appearance Simulate real-world performance
BIM for structural engineers follows this same methodology for the entire structural engineering process, focusing on a digital model that can be used for coordination with architects; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers; and civil engineers that is integrated with analysis, design, and construction documentation, and extending that digital information from design through fabrication and construction. Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software helps to support the BIM workflow for structural engineering. It offers analysis and simulation capabilities to help better predict structural performance and optimize materials of structural systems, enabling better internal coordination between engineers and drafters with a link to Autodesk Revit Structure 2010 software as well as between engineers and detailers with a link to AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2010 software.
