Analysis of Modern Software for Virtual Construction (4D Modeling)

Abstract

Statement of the problem. Due to the uniqueness of each capital construction object and the variety of digital modeling software systems, it is of scientific and practical interest to substantiate the feasibility of using a particular software package. Results. An analysis of the functionality of popular software systems for the development of digital information models at the construction stage using BIM and TIM technologies (Navisworks Manage, Bexel Manager, Synchro 4D Pro, Asta Powerproject BIM, DELMIA) is provided. Their major disadvantages and advantages are identified and detailed. Conclusions. The choice of a software package by a contractor for the development of a construction model (4D model) according to BIM or TIM should be based on an analysis of a number of factors, one of which is the technical complexity of the construction object. The richer in resources and attributes the building is, the more reliable and closer it will be to the real conditions of construction, and the less organizational errors will be detected at the construction site.
