Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
275,000 cfm (130 m3/s) was needed. The CFD graphic gave the fire department its first
understanding of how the building worked (Post, 2003).
Even though the project did not have an all encompassing BIM model, 3D tools were
used throughout the design phase. MKA created a three-dimensional wireframe model for
structural analysis and Seele used their wireframe model to design the curtain wall.
Seele’s wireframe model, accompanied with a liability waiver, was used as the basis for
creating the intelligent Tekla model, showing all the diagonal steel as well as the complex
connections. Ambiguity in the contract language, as to who was supposed to share which
models created a certain amount of confusion and delays on this project. Because the
diagonal steel and the curtain wall were being designed in different countries, it was
absolutely vital to have an accurate 3D representation of the entire structure. Achieving a
