The Impact of Structural BIM Technology on the Design Process

The Impact of Structural BIM
Technology on the Design Process

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the design and construction process.  What does it mean for Structural Engineers and the others they collaborate with? 

Join Dr. Jean-Pierre Rammant, one of the pioneers in Structural BIM technology, for a discussion on how advances in BIM are:

• Helping to connect today’s disjointed structural engineering workflows.

• Giving engineers new ways of analyzing structures; giving them 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, and share documents with drafters, detailers and fabricators.

• Reducing RFI’s (Request for Information) and allowing designers to work out constructability issues before they get on the job site.

Beer/Wine/Light Fare will be served, so bring a friend.

6:30 - 7:00 Reception,  7:00 - 8:00 Program

Featured Speaker: Dr. Jean-Pierre Rammant, CEO Nemetschek Scia

Dr. Rammant is a pioneer in the development of structural BIM technology. For over 30-years he has been a software specialist helping the world’s leading structural engineering companies to create innovative, sustainable designs.  He completed his Ph-D doctoral work at the faculty of Applied Sciences, K.U. Leuven, Belgium, and, worked as a research assistant at M.I.T. before starting Nemetschek Scia--one of the world’s premier developer’s of 3D structural modeling, analysis & design software.
