2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide a basic overview of the architecture of BIM (Building Information Modeling) systems and their applications. The exercises will provide students with the modelling solutions and associated commands that enable the creation of BIM systems. The course will specifically cover the publication of plans, the creation of consignments, the possibility of performing impact studies, energy calculations, time and space statements. The course will also introduce the application of BIM systems to various civil engineering tasks in the fields of structural design, infrastructure and geoinformatics. The aim of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the functions, capabilities and applications of BIM systems.
2.2 Learning outcomes
