Continuing trend toward consistent BIM planning

Building Information Modeling (BIM) gets more and more important in structural engineering, in particular, as far as internationally operating companies or offices are concerned. Several reasons already clearly indicate the trend prevailing in structural engineering from 2D CAD planning to 3D project management. Larger companies no longer want to split their projects among different specialist departments for being planned separately. Instead, they are aiming at close interdisciplinary design sharing 3D models with the aid of the BIM working method. However, this does not mean that different...
