An integrated workflow between architecture and structural analysis streamlines processes, enhances productivity, and boosts efficiency for all involved parties. But how can workflows be further optimized, and how can collaboration across various disciplines and specialties be improved? The answer lies in adopting “OPEN BIM.” Leveraging leading tools like ALLPLAN, SCIA Engineer, SDS/2, and FRILO, a first-class OPEN BIM workflow demonstrates how seamless data transfers can be achieved efficiently and effortlessly. Structural engineers have the autonomy to select specific model elements for calculations without needing to recreate the analytical model.
