Co-ordinated BIM Models using Clash Detection Clash detection is a significant and indispensable element of the BIM modeling technique. Clash detection takes place out of the fact that in BIM modeling, there exists not only a single model but multiple models which are ultimately integrated into a composite model. Models are created in various domains such as Architectural, Structural and MEP independently as per the architects’ original model. The next step after the creation of individual models is clash detection. Clash Detection is the technique of identifying the location wherein the models clash i.e. the location where components of individual models occupy the exactly the same place, or with parameters which are not compatible. In 4D BIM modeling clash takes place wherein a time sequence is synchronized. Identifying these kinds of inconsistencies is crucial, because they significantly affect the construction process, causing delays, design alterations, cost estimation and a cascade of complications and budget overruns.
Clash Detection is the method of analyzing and figuring out the various interferences which generally comes up in coordinating procedure of 3D models developed using advanced software's such as Revit Structural & Revit MEP. 3D models generating using Revit Structural incorporates components such as beams, columns, roof, windows, etc whereas 3D models generating in Revit MEP incorporates mechanical, electrical and plumbing services.
