Bim Modeling in Mechanical Engineering

What is it about?

Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) is a process based on so called intelligent three dimensional (3D) models. These models incorporate not only dimensional properties of the product. They incorporate all information’s about functional or descriptive properties. There is significant difference between computer aided design (CAD) modeling and BIM modeling. Goal of this paper is to describe and highlight that differences. Through the paper it is described when, where and why BIM modeling needs to be used. Idea behind BIM modeling principles is described in detail. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of BIM modeling is highlighted. Potential possibilities of using BIM modeling in the field of mechanical engineering have been presented.
