Meet Company and Project BIM Standards with OpenBuildings Designer
The concept of ‘BIM Levels’ (and ‘BIM Level 2 compliance’) has become the accepted definition of the criteria required for a project to be deemed BIM-compliant.
Success Story | Zero-energy Building Collaboratively Designed Using Digital BIM Methodology
Morphosis Architects Embraced BIM to Design Cornell Tech’s New Academic Headquarters New York, United States The Project Cornell Tech contracted Morphosis Architects to design and develop the Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center, the first building to be constructed at their new technology and entrepreneurship campus on Roosevelt Island in New York. The Bloomberg Center is a four-story, 160,000-square-foot building that will be utilized as Cornell Tech’s academic headquarters. To successfully complete the project, Morphosis needed to implement a BIM solution to meet the requirements of all stakeholders and maintain the project schedule. Setting a new standard for sustainable academic buildings in New York, the Bloomberg Center is designed to achieve net-zero energy and a Platinum LEED rating. Supporting Unified BIM and Information Mobility Morphosis implemented an extensible authoring platform that supports a unified BIM methodology with ProjectWise®, MicroStation®, and OpenBuildings Designer. Equipped with a BIM solution, the design team created a holistic view of the building and provided stakeholders with a single source of information for the project – from early concepts through construction administration. A federated BIM approach enhanced communication, improved data sharing among consultants and contractors, built trust among stakeholders, and helped the team keep construction on schedule. Morphosis
Enhance Design Freedom and Bring Innovations to the Forefront with OpenBuildings Designer
The freedom to design anything has always been a critical challenge for the AEC industry. OpenBuildings Designer, an all-in-one building design software, breaks down those barriers with its feature-rich drawing, parametric modelling, and object-based modelling capabilities.
The Role of Computational Design in Enhancing the Building Design Process
Computational design is a method that can help architects and engineers overcome these obstacles. It’s a fast, efficient, and effective method of automating tasks and exploring multiple design options
Reporting and Data Editing at Your Fingertips with Building Information Modeling (BIM)
OpenBuildings Designer provides effective collaboration across multi-discipline teams in a common design environment with a streamlined workflow.
OpenBuildings Designer is the Best BIM Software for any Building Design Project
OpenBuildings Designer — formerly AECOsim Buildings Designer — is an interdisciplinary BIM software that includes tools for architectural, structural, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical design. It is the evolution of the Bentley BIM offering and replaces older applications: Bentley Architecture, Bentley Structural Modeler, Bentley Building Mechanical Systems, and Bentley Building Electrical Systems.
Building Information Modeling Improves Communication and BIM Collaboration on Building Design Projects
We understand that you are under tremendous pressure to deliver on-time and error-free designs to your clients. Seamless collaboration is one of the requirements for successful project delivery.
Win Over Clients with Lifelike Visualization of Your BIM Design Projects
You’ve put a lot of work into your designs. Why leave it to chance? There’s no need to risk the possible confusion that can arise when your clients can only imagine what your paper plans will look like in real life. Produce lifelike visualizations of your BIM designs to help clients understand project intent at no extra cost.
