Allt fler aktörer inom byggbranschen övergår från att använda gamla och traditionella verktyg i sin projektering till mer avancerade och moderna BIM-verktyg. Däremot sker denna utveckling långsamt på grund av skeptisk och konservativt inställning i byggbranschen. Idag finns analysprogram som har förmågan att beräkna och analysera komplexa strukturer, men trots detta är det väldigt vanligt med handberäkningar. I branschen börjar modellering av produktionsmodeller i moderna 3D BIM-verktyg få fotfäste. Det är praktiskt möjligt att modifiera en produktionsmodell till en analysmodell för att sedan beräknas i ett analysverktyg och det är detta som kommer bland annat undersökas. I denna rapport utreds även skillnaderna mellan handberäkningar och beräkningar i analysverktyg samt undersöks lönsamheten i en arbetsmetod där produktionsmodell och analysmodell integreras. Målet med denna rapport var att skapa ett tillvägagångssätt för en  fungerande överföring mellan produktionsmodell och analysmodell. Vilket enligt denna undersökning resulterar i en effektivare och lönsammare projektering. / Many businesses operating in the construction industry are nowadays substituting traditional tools in their project designing process with more modern and advanced BIM tools. However, this transition is taking place at a rather languid pace due to a skeptical and conservative attitude in the construction industry. Today, analysis software that has the ability to calculate and analyze complex structures is available. Yet, despite of this fact, manual calculations are still very common. The use of modern 3D-BIM tools has just started to gain a foothold, and a slight increase in both use and popularity in the construction branch. It is virtually possible to modify a production model into an analysis model using this technology, and that is one of the many aspects that will be investigated in this report. The differences between manual calculation and calculations made with analysis tools will be outlined, as well as the profitability of working with a production model where an analysis model has been integrated. The main objective of the following study was to provide a functioning approach for the effective transfer from a production model to an analysis model, which this investigation have eventuated to a more efficient and profitable project.

Examensarbetet handlar om att undersöka i vilken utsträckning BIM eller andra digitala lösningar används under förvaltningen i dagsläget samt att kartlägga eventuella problemområden. Då vissa delar av byggprocessen är i framkant rent teknikmässigt så har förvaltningen halkat efter. Det är fortfarande mycket 2D-ritningar som inte alltför sällan är i pappersformat.Intervjuer av både förvaltare och konsulter har genomförts. Med hjälp av dessa intervjuer samt litteraturstudie har en kartläggning av BIM-användandet utförts. Den har visat att den 3D-modell som projekteras under projekteringen sällan används under förvaltningsskedet. Faktum är att ingen av de som intervjuades används sig av 3D-modellen. Detta är ett stort problem då mycket information går förlorad. Orsaken till detta är att förvaltarna antingen inte har kompetens nog att utnyttja modellen eller att frågan inte prioriteras då de inte ser tillräcklig ekonomisk vinning i att implementera denna modell i sin arbetsprocess.Det behövs en utveckling av rätt programvara som är specifikt anpassad för förvaltningen om någon utveckling i området skall ske. Det är också många äldre och få yngre personer inom förvaltning och datorvanan är väldigt varierad. Detta är dåligt ur ett BIM-perspektiv då den tekniska kompetensen saknas. Vilket delvis kan förklaras med att förvaltningsprocessen inte prioriteras bland Högskolorna och Universiteten. / This bachelor thesis is about in what range BIM or other digital solutions are being used today during management phase and also map out curtain problem areas. Management phase has fallen back in the technical development if you compare them with other parts of the building process. There is still a lot of 2D-drawings being used during management phase.Interviews has been made with both managers and consultants. With these interviews and study of literature a mapping of the BIM-usage has been made. Witch has shown that the 3D-model that was made earlier in the building process was seldom used during management phase. In fact none of the companies that was interviewed was using the 3D-model. This is a huge problem because much of the information that was once made is lost. The reason for this is either that the managers doesn’t have competence enough to use the model or that the question isn’t prioritized because the managers can’t see any economic value in the model.If the management phase want to develop in the field of technology there has to be specific programs for managers available. There’s also a lot of older people working in the field of management and the computer skills are very different between the coworkers. This is bad from a BIM-perspective because the technical competence is lacking. Which can be explained because the management phase isn’t prioritized at the Universities.

[pt] Atualmente o processo que envolve a construção de um empreendimento é baseado em documentos impressos e desconexos. Há uma tendência global de que um mesmo projeto seja elaborado por diversas empresas e diferentes equipes, porém, as ferramentas computacionais que são utilizadas ainda são as mesmas de décadas atrás. Devido a essa mudança de paradigma, a metodologia conhecida como modelagem da informação da construção, BIM, vem aos poucos ganhando aceitação na área de AEC (Arquitetura, Engenharia e Construção). Motivada por esse processo de transição, essa dissertação tem como objetivo estudar e avaliar algumas das ferramentas computacionais disponíveis no mercado que são utilizadas na implementação da metodologia BIM. Essa avaliação é feita a partir do projeto de um empreendimento real que foi feito utilizando a metodologia tradicional, isto é, documentos 2D independentes. O projeto é modelado em 3D com uma base de dados integrada de acordo com a metodologia BIM. O projeto baseado no modelo 3D é então comparado com o projeto original. Ao término desse estudo são obtidos exemplos reais dos benefícios da modelagem 3D parametrizada. Uma série de deficiências são detectadas nos documentos 2D originais, o que não teria acontecido caso a metodologia BIM fosse usada desde o início do projeto. Além disso, é avaliada a integração entre uma ferramenta de modelagem 3D estrutural (Autodesk Revit Structure 2012) e um software de análise estrutural (Autodesk Robot 2012). Estratégias de integração são testadas e as melhores práticas são descritas em detalhe. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que o uso da metodologia é promissor e sua implementação deve ser seriamente considerada no Brasil. / [en] Currently the process involved in the construction of a facility remains fragmented and dependent on paper-based communication modes. There is a global trend where a single project may be developed by different companies and may involve several teams of specialists. However, the computational tools that are still in use are the same as the ones being used for decades. Due to this paradigm shift, a methodology known as Building Information Modeling, BIM, has been gaining acceptance in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) area. Motivated by this process of transition, this thesis aims to study and evaluate some of the computational tools available in the market that are used to implement the BIM methodology. This assessment is made using the design of an actual facility, which is done using the traditional 2D design methodology, i.e., disjoint 2D documents. The project is modeled in 3D with using integrated database according to the BIM methodology. The resulting project is then compared to the original project. At the end of this study, real examples of the benefits of parameterized 3D modeling are obtained. Several inconsistencies in the original design documents are observed, which would not have occurred if the BIM methodology had been used from the beginning of the project. In addition, the integration between a 3D structural modeling tool (Autodesk Revit Structure 2012) and a structural analysis tool (Autodesk Robot 2012) is evaluated. Integration strategies are tested and the best practices are described in detail. The findings of this work suggest the use of the BIM methodology is promising and support its use in Brazil.
