Top structural engineering firms use conceptual designing in Revit steel detailing, Rhino, Dynamo, etc. for modifying geometric shapes in structural BIM model.

Rhino Architecture constitutes to be a free parametric structural modeling tool, supporting interoperability with the structural model in IFC format.

Automatic calculation of the movement of earth or automatic quantification of the earthworks is an added BIM usage to commercial structural engineering firms and residential structural engineering firms.

Starting from topographic to the shape of the diverse levels, structural design engineers are able to automatically determine the movement of the earth.

At this juncture, structural engineering consultants & structural BIM modelers import process from CAD to automated BIM.

The technique of CAD-BIM import works only if the topographic points in CAD have a 3D representation of the ground.

Structural BIM modeling facilitates automated calculation between existing ground and adapted ground.

The flexibility allows structural engineers to work with the structure in separate models that are kept for analysis.

Another significant BIM service provided by structural engineers is the structural analysis.

The BIM objects of the physical model and analytical model relate parametrically, associating all information in the template.

During Revit BIM structural analysis, top structural engineering firms send parts of the structural model for structural analysis.

A physical model usually represents the geometry of a structure, whereas the analytical model contains strains, deflections, reactions and displacements. The analytical model engrosses information to be conveyed to software structural calculation.

The BIM bi-directional link between a platform and a structural analysis tool enables structural design engineers to test several structural solutions in the primary phases of the project in an automated way.

Top structural engineering firms sometimes require phasing as a part of the analytical process in infrastructural projects like the bridges.

Here, every phase of construction needs to be calculated and understood by the structural design engineers for getting the right stress and the deflection.

4D construction phasing, scheduling or simulation related to the project management is another practical BIM application in a construction project.

Multidisciplinary coordination through 3D BIM modeling and clash detection, matches the compatibility of the structures.

Hence, BIM structural engineers verify the compatibility amongst products and facilitate automatic clash detection and resolution of conflicts at the preconstruction stage.
