The document discusses openBIM, which uses open standards like Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) to enable real interoperability between different software applications. OpenBIM allows participants in a building project to use their preferred tools to access and share relevant BIM data. It also facilitates practical collaboration where models, designs, and analyses can progress in parallel. The document then provides an example case study of how an openBIM workflow was implemented for a commercial office building project.

1. Using an openBIM Workflow by Jeffrey W. Ouellette, Assoc. AIA, BIM Specialist, Integrated Practice

2. What is openBIM ?

3. Real Interoperability Practical Collaboration What is openBIM? A summary

4. Real Interoperability Using Open Technology IFC (.ifc/.ifcxml/.ifczip) for Model data International open standard Geometry & Data Global vendor & application support What is openBIM? A summary Integrated Practice Designs - Nemetschek North America, Inc.

5. Real Interoperability Using Open Technology IFC (.ifc/.ifcxml/.ifczip) for Model data International open standard Geometry & Data Widespread Vendor and application support PDF for 2D/drawings International open standard line drawings, schematics, renderings, text can be queried, searched mark-ups without editing source data What is openBIM? A summary Integrated Practice Designs - Nemetschek North America, Inc.

6. What is “openBIM”? Software Support – 37+ International Vendors, 50+ Applications

7. Real Interoperability The importance of data integrity Ownership Access/security Portability BIM & IFC => Internet & HTML Extensibility Today’s data vs. tomorrow’s needs What is openBIM? A summary Integrated Practice Designs - Nemetschek North America, Inc.

8. Practical Collaboration Delivering high-value workflows Design simulation/coordination Performance simulations Change management Clash detection QTO, cost estimating and tracking, and procurement Construction scheduling and logistics Facility/asset management Automated code checking Fabrication What is openBIM? A summary

9. Practical Collaboration Participants use their preferred tools Different users need different types of BIM data; Different users need different tools to access such data; NO single application or “platform” can satisfy EVERY user need, in every market, in every discipline. What is openBIM? Practical Collaboration

10. Practical Collaboration Balance of Technology and Process No need to coordinate a particular vendor-specific application, version, or extensions between all users; Participants share only what data they need to share, when they need; Models, designs, and analyses by users can work in parallel; Users, regardless of technological maturity, can add value to the BIM.
