The purpose of the course is for the course participant to attain basic knowledge and understanding of virtual design and construction with respect to 3D-modelling and BIM-applications for analysis, simulations and visualisations of structural design, clash detection, constructability, quantity takeoff’s, cost estimates, time scheduling etc. The course supports an explorative learning process in which the course participants learn how to apply BIM-based design and construction in a realistic context. The software systems used in the course could include Revit, Robot, Navisworks and VICO Office, which are commonly applied in industry.

The course rests upon a realistic building case, i.e. a block of
student apartments, in which a building client has assigned the
course participants, individually or in groups of two students, to
act in the role of BIM-consultants.
The course is designed as an applied course in which the course
participants are expected to test and explore the introduced
BIM-systems in order to carry out the analysis, simulations and
visualisations that are included in the case assignment of the
course.
The course includes three separate assignments that deal with
relevant BIM-objectives, i.e. 3D-modelling including model
verification, visualization, drawings and clash detection; quantity
take-off, cost estimates and time scheduling; and finally,
model-based structural analysis. Each assignment is reported,
individually or in groups of two students, in written reports and
supplementary BIM-files. Written feedback for all three assignments
is provided all course participants.
The tree assignments of the course is supplemented with a
concluding and comprehensive project assignment, which also is
carried out individually or in groups of two course participants.
The results of the project assignment are reported in a written
report and are presented orally at a mandatory seminar by the end
of the course. Written feedback for the project assignments is
provided all course participants. Non-participation at the
mandatory seminar will result in the student taking an oral
exam.
Grading scale: UG - (U,G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: Grading scale: Pass/Fail Assessment: The course participants are assessed on basis of their written representation of the three assignments, an oral and written presentation of the project assignment. Mandatory participation at the presentation seminar.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
Required prior knowledge: VBKF01 Structural Engineering - Building Systems or VBFN05 Energy, Air Movements and Moisture at Rebuilding and Administration
