BIM & VDC Resources
Since its early days, many expected BIM (building information modeling) to be replaced or superseded by the next bright, shiny object--but that hasn't happened yet. While it has matured from its early days and is now seen as an everyday occurrence, it's still somehow shrouded in confusion and questions.
A key issue is a simple lack of references--it's hard to get where you're going without a map. The existing guidebooks, manuals, and introductions to BIM and VDC (virtual design and construction) aren't specific to the steel construction industry.
Enter AISC's BIM & VDC for Structural Steel and its newly released companion, Model Review and Approval. They are geared specifically toward the structural steel design community. These free guides not only provide an introduction to BIM but also address issues that affect the design and fabrication of structural steel
Read more about BIM & VDC for Structural Steel in the article "Writing the Book on BIM" in December 2019's issue of Modern Steel Construction. Complete the form below to submit feedback to Luke Faulkner, AISC's director of technology initiatives, or email [email protected].
