Empowering Transportation Infrastructure Design with BIM
Webinar Series
Elevating Transportation Infrastructure Design with OpenBuildings Designer
OpenBuildings Designer is a multidiscipline building design software that enables BIM workflows to provide information-rich models for the design, analysis, simulation, and documentation of buildings of all types and scales. It incorporates computational design and energy services for building performance evaluation and sustainability. Furthermore, it offers 16 regional datasets, supporting standard formats for interoperability and adhering to country BIM standards.
Designing Buildings and Facilities for Roads and Highways Infrastructure
Available On-Demand
In this session, we will delve into OpenBuildings Designer’s capabilities for designing and delivering a wide range of building types for transportation infrastructure. This includes small bus enclosures, border crossing facilities, vehicular maintenance facilities, parking structures, and roadside buildings such as DOT visitor centers, comfort stations, rest areas (featuring picnic and play areas), and solar carport/recharging stations.
Our discussion and demonstrations will cover the following design and modeling workflows:
- Utilizing OpenRoads Designer files (civil alignments) and geo-referencing
- Applying parametric design tools
- Employing computational design capabilities (OpenBuildings GenerativeComponents)
- Showcasing the adaptive re-use of prototypical BIM models
- Generating discipline-specific deliverables, including drawings, reports, and schedules from 3D models
- Leveraging visualization capabilities to craft high-quality, photorealistic renderings and real-time animations, incorporating digital nature for enhanced communication
Designing Rail Infrastructure with OpenBuildings Designer
Available On-Demand
OpenBuildings Station Designer is a companion feature included with OpenBuildings Designer, tailored for the design of rail and transit stations. It offers the additional capability to generate drawings for pedestrian simulation scenarios, enhancing the quality of station design and facility operations. Furthermore, it includes space planning catalogs for ticket kiosks, gate turnstiles, passenger information displays, and intelligent station components.
In this session, we will explore and illustrate design and modeling processes involving the following:
- Leveraging OpenRail Designer (civil alignments) files and geo-referencing
- Utilizing parametric design tools
- Employing computational design capabilities (OpenBuildings GenerativeComponents)
- Demonstrating the adaptive re-use of prototypical BIM models
- Focusing on discipline-specific creation of drawings, reports, and schedules
- Generating high-quality, photorealistic renderings and real-time animations featuring digital nature
- Harnessing BIM advancements to accelerate station design projects, boost confidence in design, streamline workflows, and foster better communication across building disciplines and remote teams
