SOLIBRI MODEL CHECKER
Traditional methods for checking the accuracy of Building Information Models (BIMs) entails a painstaking manual process. Every part of the model must be reviewed for accuracy, correctness and integrity by CAD engineers using the originating CAD application. Its easy to make mistakes made during the model building process, but they can be very difficult to spot and are time consuming to correct later on. This process can now be automated by using high-end software from Solibri.

 

Solibri Model Checker™ is an out of the box software solution (Patent Pending) that analyzes Building Information Models (BMs) for integrity, quality and physical safety. The system offers easy-to-use visualization with an intuitive walk-in functionality. With a single mouse click, the system X-rays the building model and reveals potential flaws and weaknesses in the design, highlights the clashing components and checks that the model complies with the building codes and organization’s best practices. Solibri adds value throughout the life cycle of the building. It is widely used a by growing number of building owner opererators, construction companies, architects and engineering firms. Solibri Model Checker™ is a valuable tool for:

 

  • Owners to check designs against program requirements
  • Architects & Engineers to deliver cost-effective quality BIMs
  • Construction companies to obtain reliable cost estimates
  • Facilities Managers for checking life-cycle maintainability

FREE SOLIBRI MODEL VIEWER
The Solibri Model Viewer (SMV) is available via a free download from the Solibri website. You will need to register your details so an email link can be sent to you. SMV is built for viewing Solibri Model Checker files (.SMC), including analysis results and presentations, and uses the same powerful Automated Issue Navigator (AIN) found in the commercial version. Solibri Model Viewer reads open Standard IFC files (IFC2.0, IFC2x, IFC2x2, and IFC2x3) and can view BIM's saved direct from their native CAD systems (Revit, Graphisoft, EliteCAD, MicroStation etc.). Thus BIM collaboration can be achieved without publishing costs. SMV runs on PC's or Macintosh and its core technology is proven to be the fastest and most reliable with IFC files.

BUSINESS BENEFITS – ROI
The mission of Solibri is to improve the quality of Building Information Models (BIM) and make the entire design process more productive. With the help of Solibri Model Checker customers can save time and money in deploying (BIM) and enjoy a fast return on investment because Solibri:

  • Saves building costs by decreasing design related flaws
  • Enables more accurate and up-to-date cost estimates
  • Provides time savings in architectural design
  • Supports transparent and more reliable planning process
  • Saves labour and time through automated quantity takeoff
  • Decreases the risk involved in BIM pilot projects

BIM MODEL IMPORT

  • Import 3D building designs from all major BIM tools
  • Import several IFC files into a single model
  • Import a new version of the same IFC file
  • Imports models direct from ArchiCAD 8.1, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0
  • Opens compressed IFC files saving up to 80% of disk space
  • Automated design discipline recognition of imported models
  • Selectable & adjustable colour schemas per design discipline

IFC SUPPORT

  • IAI Certified for IFC 2.0, IFC 2X, IFC 2X2, IFC 2X3
  • Extended IFC property sets including IFC Element Quantities type of properties

ANALYSIS AND CHECKING

  • Automated checking and analysis of the building design
  • Highlighting potential design issues in the 3D model
  • Classification of issues into 3 groups based on severity
  • Enables user to define customized rules for model checking
  • Automated space analysis and measurement
  • Quantity takeoff & integration with cost estimation systems
  • Zone management
  • Sophisticated algorithms for defining escape routes
  • Intelligent clash checking based on components’ design discipline and type, and severity of the clash
  • Accessibility rules
  • Model version comparison
  • Conformity between Architectural and Structural models including reasoning for walls and slabs modelled with beams and columns in structural model

COMMUNICATION

  • Easy-to-use 3D viewer with walk-in functionality
  • Advanced model quality report in RTF, PDF and XML formats
  • Presentations automatically generated from checking results
  • Solibri Issue Locator for direct access in the CAD tool

SOLIBRI ISSUE LOCATOR FOR AUTODESK AND GRAPHISOFT
Locating design Issues in the original CAD environment saves time & money. The Solibri Issue Locator lets a CAD user access the issue list directly in the CAD tool. This streamlines the error correction process when fixing the model and saves labour and cost. With improved integration of analysis and design tools, Solibri supports the closed-loop design process and improves the overall productivity. Solibri Issue Locator is currently supported in Autodesk Architectural Desktop (ADT) and Graphisoft ArchiCAD environments.
