COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Designed for mechanical and electrical engineers to optimize designs, improve collaboration, and deliver projects faster. Using BIM, M&E engineers can make more informed design decisions, automate construction documentation, and produce more constructible designs. Focus of this course will be more on:

  • Introduction to BIM
  • Uses of BIM
  • BIM capabilities
  • BIM Dimensions
  • Using Revit MEP
  • Families component modeling
  • Sheet Compilation and Publication
  • Basic Subdivision and Collaboration
  • Clash Analysis
  • Walkthrough and simulation
