In the construction industry, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is about developing and operating buildings using digital data that all relevant stakeholders have access to.
Rather than describing the technology used, or just the 3D model that accounts for the ‘M’ of the acronym, BIM refers to the process of all parties involved in the construction and lifecycle management of built assets working collaboratively and sharing pertinent information.
This information is shared through a mutually accessible online space known as a common data environment (CDE). The data collected is referred to as an 'information model'.
Information models can be used at all stages of a building’s life; from inception right through to operation and even refurbishment and renewal.
BIM operates at different levels. Each level describes a different set of criteria which, when met, demonstrate a particular level of ‘BIM maturity’. These levels begin with 0 and go up to 4D and beyond. They are used to gauge how effectively information is being shared and managed throughout the supply chain.
What isn’t always immediately clear is what each level involves and it can be confusing to identify at which level your working and how you can develop your BIM maturity. Here is a brief guide to the first three levels and an explanation of what criteria are involved at each stage.

Level of development (LOD) is a set of specifications that gives professionals in the AEC industry the power to document, articulate and specify the content of BIM effectively and clearly. Serving as an industry standard, LOD defines the development stages of different systems in BIM. By using LOD specifications, architects, engineers, and other professionals can clearly communicate with each other without confusion for faster execution.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PART 3
Variational direct modeling is a game-changing design paradigm
for 3D
2D contours are defined as closed polylines composed of linear and curvilinear segments.
Similarly, 3D solids are modeled as waterproof boundary composed of planar, cylindrical,
spherical, conic, toric, and general NURBS faces. BricsCAD users can directly manipulate these
boundary faces: moving and rotating them, pushing and pulling. This simple and powerful way
of 3D modeling is quite similar to 2D sketching. What makes it intelligent is the same concept
of geometric and dimensional constraints applied in 3D space. To differentiate from pure
direct modelers, we call our technology Variational (e.g. constraint-based) Direct Modeling.
Typical constraints in 3D are a tangency between adjacent planar and cylindrical faces,
a radius of a round hole, a distance between two planar faces of a sheet metal part.
As in 2D, constraints play active role for further design changes. An important part of
variational direct modeling technology is a possibility to avoid manual specification of a great
number of constraints that would guarantee keeping the design intent of the model and its
topological and geometrical validity.
For example, consider a model with a number of holes of the same radius. When the radius
of a cylindrical face is modified with a push/pull operation or by changing the value of a radial
constraint other faces that share the same diameter are recognized by BricsCAD and modified
automatically to keep the radii synchronized. Apart from the recognition of equal radii,
BricsCAD automatically recognizes other geometrical relations between surfaces of a solid and
preserves them during direct modeling operations.
Bricsys Strategy for Mechanical Design By Dmitry Ushakov
Constraints make a CAD model parametric – it can be easily changed to get
different design variants. Parametric modeling is a fundamental CAD concept
that significantly cuts down the costs of introducing changes to the project,
creating new modifications, etc. However, since initially parametric models
were based on design history, a rather stable link appeared between those
completely different concepts. True, design history (the record of operations
used to construct a geometric body shape from scratch) can easily be
transformed into a parametric model, if a set of parameters is associated
with each operation. Examples of such parameters are types and coordinates
of two-dimensional entities of a 2D profile and the height of its extrusion
Design variants with 3D constraints
3. Bricsys Newsletter Q3 - 2013Bricsys Newsletter MCAD CORNER
in 3D space, or the diameter and depth of a hole. Changing their values and regenerating
the design history, a different variant of the same geometry can be created. Parametric
history-based features first appeared in Pro/Engineer, and later this method was repeated
in practically all MCAD systems.
Transparency
With all simplicity and universality, this history-based parameterization method has some
serious drawbacks. The most important are its complexity and lack of transparency for
the users. To change a geometric shape, one must locate a proper feature in the tree and
figure out, which specific parameter should be changed. The fundamental principle of a
user’s interface - WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) - does not work here because
the user edits a text or a numerical value of a feature parameter, and as a result changes
the geometric body shape. It is well known that in large geometry models
design history can be rather long and its regeneration can take much time,
which puts MCAD users in a pending position and force them to waste
their time and nerves in vain.
Parameterization
Another notorious drawback of history-based parameterization is that
a decision, which model parameters can be changed, must be taken
when the designer creates the model. If later for some reason he needs
to change a particular parameter that in absent in the tree, the solution
will not be easy: either to redo the model from scratch or use complex
optimization algorithms in an attempt to approach the desired value of the
parameter in question by varying the values of the defining parameters
(which are presented in the tree).
This shortcoming reflects the overall problem of a procedural approach to
parameterization, a kind of which is the method of history regeneration.
Under a procedural approach designers in advance divide all model
parameters into the input and output ones. It is only possible to change
parameters of the first group, while the values of output parameters are
calculated in accordance with pre-determined procedures, formulas,
history, etc.
Dumb geometry
Another key problem of history-based parameterization is inability to use
this technology when working with multi-CAD and legacy data. Design
history is typically lost in translation from one CAD format into another.
Only boundary model is translated, which in this case is called “dumb”
geometry. Some expensive translators can convert features from one
system into another, but it’s not a panacea as each system has its own
4. Bricsys Newsletter Q3 - 2013Bricsys Newsletter MCAD CORNER
mix of features and exact translation is impossible in principle. The same can be said
about automated feature recognition in “dumb” geometry: it can work only in the simplest
cases and does not resolve the general problem.This is a very important issue for most
engineering companies in the world.
A recent survey conducted by Aberdeen Group covered 269 engineering companies and
showed that 82% of respondents use three or more CAD formats in their design process,
and 42% use five or more. Direct modeling can get “dumb” geometry “talking”, but the top
challenge of working with multi-CAD data (marked by 32% of respondents) is the loss of
intelligence embedded into the native CAD file.

News
The release of the BricsCAD BIM Module in mid June was well received by the CAD press and
analyst communities:
“Bricsys has been hinting at getting back into the architectural design market,
and today they released the first beta of the BricsCAD BIM Module … Expect
the BIM module to be developed slowly, and not rushed out as today’s mobile
apps are. Bricsys’ thinking is long-term. Their idea is to build an entire CAD
ecosystem based on solely the DWG file format: 2D, 3D, MCAD, and BIM.”
Ralph Grabowski - upFront.eZine Publishing
“Bricsys today announced BIM software for BricsCAD V13.2+, available as a free add-on module to
Pro and Platinum users. Released as a public beta, this move is in line with the Bricsys ‘Unified CAD’
philosophy of offering everything from 2d/3d drafting & design, Direct modeling, Constraints based-
design, Mechanical parts libraries and BIM, all under the .dwg CAD platform. A ‘BIM-enabled’ tag for
