ING3111 3D modelling with BIM

Contents and structure

The course introduces 3D modelling in the context of building information modeling (BIM), with emphasis on functionalities related to the field of electrical engineering. The Autodesk software Revit plays a central role throughout the course. The students will get a proper introduction to the software and they will follow the working process from the modelling of simple 3D objects to the assembly of large interdisciplinary projects. Documentation and export of data to other software will also be included as an important part of the working process.

Relevant topics:

• Introduction to and use of Revit for BIM: user interface, navigation, drawings, projects and families.
• Export to EDS (Engineering Database System): Tag registration / documentation.
• Export to Inventor: perforations of structures and fundaments.

Learning Outcome

The student:

• Knows the working process from 3D modelling of simple parts to the assembly of large projects by the use of BIM software.
• Is familiar with good routines for documentation in BIM and knows which benefits to draw from this when exporting data to other software.
• Can use Revit as a BIM tool and knows the general features of the software, such as: user interface, navigation, creating new drawings, projects and families, documentation and export of data to other software.

 

The student:

• Can use the Revit software for 3D modelling of simple components.
• Can use Revit as a BIM tool for the assembly of large interdisciplinary projects.
• Knows how to document the different components that are included in a Revit model and knows how to export these to other software; including an EDS system (Engineering Database System) which can process the data and link it to other programs, documents, orders etc.

 

The Student:

• Can use BIM software as a collaboration tool in the implementation of interdisciplinary projects and through this identify solutions to problems, engage in discussions concerning the significance and consequences of these solutions, and communicate the results both in writing and orally.
• Can reflect on his/her professional practice, personally and as a team member, and can schedule tasks over time.

Teaching methods

Lectures, computer lab, team work.

Regular lectures, exercises, laboratory work and similar activities will be given every third week. During the two weeks where there is no regular teaching, the students are expected to work on the subject by themselves or in teams and to follow course material that is made available online.

In special cases instruction will be given by an English speaking lecturer/guest lecturer. The exam will still be given in Norwegian.

Parts of the course might be given in Haugesund.

Compulsory learning activities

Yes. These will be specified in the course plan by semester start.

Assessment

Part 1: Project, accounts for 50% of the final grade.

Part 2: Practical methodical exam, accounts for 50% of the final grade.

Both parts must be passed.

Grade:  A - E / F (failed).

Examination support material

Part 1, project: all.

Part 2, practical methodical exam: PC with relevant software will be made available during the examination.
