Automatização do bim em redes de abastecimento de água

Abstract

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a promising technology in the construction industry and its consolidation is noticeable. Applications of this technology are becoming indispensable in the day-to-day lives of companies and designers. In infrastructure projects, specifically in the sanitation sector, the BIM methodology has been implemented and disseminated. Proper implementation facilitates the design and construction process and can result in better quality buildings with reduced deadlines. With this in mind, this paper presents a proposal to automate the generation of water supply networks in BIM using an interface between the UFC system and Civil 3D. This interface was developed using Dynamo routines and Python. Among its features, the interface allows conversions between .inp and excel formats. To validate the functionality of the interface, tests were carried out using automatic BIM generation of water supply networks of various formats, including pipes and fittings, dimensioned using the UFC System with different characteristics, allowing for a broader evaluation. The results demonstrated the usability of the proposed tool, which could be an alternative for use in workflows.
