Expanding the capabilities of the ARCHICAD software package for effective solution of construction design tasks

Abstract

Effective management of real estate complexes, which determines the minimum cost of ownership of constructed and operated objects, implies at the present stage the active introduction of information modeling technologies into the project life cycle. At the same time, in all the variety of modeling software and modeling formats offered by the national and foreign markets, those that have advanced controllability and adaptability to the changing conditions of the design or actual construction stages are the most effective for the purposes of managing the capital intensity of a non-movable asset. The ARCHICAD software package, which is a recognized leader in architectural modeling software, contains the necessary standard and additional tools for creating parameterized objects - elements of a real estate object that have the required properties, significantly accelerating and simplifying the work on adapting the model and optimizing space-planning solutions created on its basis. The authors created a universal parameterizing library feature of wall panel of precast technology in private residential construction, which implements a modular approach to parametric modeling using encapsulation basic library features to upgrade effectively the panel, to implement the specification of resources, visualize technology, including the virtual reality environment, providing the necessary visibility when training for line personnel of the construction site and technical quality control of construction products. The estimation to reduce the complexity and growth performance of work implementation of the proposed approach when designing a wall barrier of low-rise residential buildings.
