New: Wall Mounted Airconditioners for Mitsubishi Electric

Multiple Wall Mounted Indoor Unit families for the Mitsubishi Electric City Multi series have been added today.

BIM engineers easily download RFA families, IFC files and 3D-DWG's for these airconditioning units, as well as for Concealed Ducted Indoor Units.



About the Mitsubishi Electric Wall Mounted Indoor Units

An elegant design combined with compact dimensions and quiet operation make the Indoor Units ideal for residential use, offices and retail. Noise levels are significantly reduced thanks to a unique airflow passage design that not only makes the unit one of the quietest in the industry, but also suppresses condensation and prevents mixing with secondary air.

Webinar: BIM for Engineers [8 september]

BIM is here to stay. But how can engineers effectively work with BIM content for MEP projects? During the webinar ‘Win with BIM using high quality and actual content’ Charles Lekx and Maarten Sonneveld from Stabiplan will discuss the role of content in the BIM cycle.

In this webinar you will learn:

- What is 'good' data for BIM projects?
- How does MEPcontent help BIM engineers?
- Live demo: content from MEPcontent to Revit
- How to transform generic to manufacturer specific content in Revit
- How to deal with various BIM Standards

Afterwards, you can ask your questions during the Q & A session.

Register now for the webinar on Thursday, September 8th from 12:00 to 12:30. Can’t make it? Check out the recording of our previous webinar.

BIM trend: Sharing information with IFC

Parties in BIM projects increasingly share information in the IFC file format. IFC makes it possible to share information transparently, even if collaborating parties use different modeling platforms or viewers.



IFC as exchange format

The IFC file format is based on an open standard specifically aimed at construction. The format provides for an unambiguous definition of geometry but also contains freedom to add parametric information. More and more contractors are using IFC for the coordination of BIM models from different fields. Moreover, the RVB also calls for an as-built model in IFC via the BIM standard on completion.



Platform independence

The added value of IFC is in its platform independence. Although the format is not (yet) ideal for processing a model from one platform in another platform, it is well suited for the mutual exchange of information. This is often what is most important: the structural engineer does not model ventilation ducts, and the electrician does not make calculations about concrete. The geometry, position, and all parametric information allocated to an element in Platform A remain completely visible when an IFC is viewed in platform B, and vice versa.



Classification standards

Due to the open structure of the IFC format, it is possible to adjust the information going from a BIM modeling platform to an IFC. For example: the Dutch RVB BIM standard requires that each element has a NL-SfB classification stored in a certain way. Based on this classification, elements can be grouped, selected, and displayed in the same manner in different parties' IFC files. This method has also been used in many private construction projects.



Define your own sets of parameters

It is also possible to define your own parameter sets in an IFC file. Within the IFC exporter in Revit, it is possible, for example, to have these parameter sets refer to application-specific parameters using parameter mapping. This allows information to always be entered and managed in one place and to be displayed simultaneously in various places in the IFC, depending on the needs of the construction team and client. Information can thus be managed in the modeling application of the construction partner, at the location that is most suitable for their own workflow.



Agreements

This requires agreements. Agreements on what information will be required from whom. Agreements about when and where to find data. These agreements are in the BIM protocol. This seems like extra work, but actually offers freedom. The free choice of a software package that best suits the company. IFC hereby bridges the information gap between different construction fields. And that's what it's about within a BIM workflow. Sharing information that another can use in order to work better together and to understand what the other is doing. In order to achieve a better result together.
