Event: Impact of Structural BIM on Design

Nemetschek Scia, a sister company to both the ArchiCAD and Vectorworks Architect software developers, will be hosting an upcoming event titled, “The Impact of Structural BIM on the Design Process” later this month in New York, Boston and Atlanta.

The announcement sent to press and industry reads, “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the design and construction process. What does it mean for structural engineers and others they collaborate with?”  Join Nemetschek Scia for a discussion on how advancements in BIM are:

• Helping to connect today’s disjointed structural engineering workflows
• Giving engineers new ways of analyzing structures; better results, faster
• Making it easier for engineers to work iteratively with architects to maximize a structure’s performance while reducing materials
• Helping engineers better communicate ideas to owners and other non-engineers, share documents with drafters, detailers and fabricators
• Reducing requests for information (RFIs) and allowing designers to work out constructability issues before they get on site
