The software and hardware aspect of Building Information Modeling has been developing radically the past few years. Each software available in the market has its own set of strengths and weaknesses and no single tool can perform all the functions during a full project life-cycle.
BIM Modeling Tools
BIM Modeling /Authoring tools are those tools which have the capabilities to develop object based information rich 3D models. These are the tools used to initiate the process of the BIM. They have out of the box capability to categorize the building elements into building objects such as Walls, Beams, Ducts etc.
Some of the leading BIM modeling tools currently available in the industry are developed by technology giants like Autodesk, Tekla, Microstation etc.
BIM Analysis Tools
Analysis tools have the capabilities to use the BIM Models to analyze and report the results in a presentable and quantifiable format. Some of the major features include massing studies for orientation and solar radiation analysis at design stage, design coordination using clash detection at design development stage and construction simulation and cost estimation during the construction stage of the project.
Analysis tools are built with the capabilities to import and export the BIM models developed in various software using a unified file extension like Cobie or IFC etc.
Cloud based BIM Tools
Cloud based tools encourage faster and seamless collaboration in line with the main idea behind using Building Information Modeling. Cloud based tools enable to users to save the BIM Models on-line for project teams form various locations to access and analyze the models real time. These tools are providing the opportunity for the project teams to use expert resources from various geographical locations.
