Proposta de tradução dos princípios da coordenação modular em parâmetros aplicáveis ao building information modeling

Abstract

Modular Coordination and Building Information Modeling (BIM) emerge as potential strategies to improve the AEC industry, considering that both enhance the integration and communication among the different professionals involved in the project. This study aims to investigate the association between BIM and Modular Coordination, through the development of an application with demonstration purposes, plus the registration of its methodology. The research was divided into three stages: Understanding, Development and Validation. The Understanding included the discovery of the initial problem and a first study about the major issues. The Development consisted in the investigation of a methodology for translating the principles of Modular Coordination in parameters for a BIM model, in order to represent a rationalized ceramic blocks masonry, and to create a plug-in using these parameters. The Validation included the application of the plug-in in a real situation and the application of the methodology developed in a different building system (light steel framing). The results include creating an early version of a plug-in, with the function to automatically generate layouts of ceramic blocks for rationalized masonry; proposing a methodology for the recognition of rules of construction for modulated systems; and verifying that BIM and Modular Coordination used together may enhance their positive individual aspects
