Introduction

The biggest advantage BIM brings to efficient building design is its analytic capabilities. It is able to export three-dimensional information from a Revit Model; different analytic software could be used for further analysis. This course enables you to predict the feasibility of your design or whether it meets environmental standards, workflow and etc early in the design process in a virtual reality space. By the end of the course, students will be able to perform some of its iconic analysis features, such as Clash Detection, 4D TimeLiner Simulation, 5D project budgets and Realistic 3D animation to maximize the benefits of the BIM project.
