By adopting technical applications, tools and services developed for openBIM, the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/bim-building-information-modeling?utm_source=btod&amp;utm_medium=art2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIM methodologies<\/a> can be extended in many different fields of application improving the management of any kind of project.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kaYSv3RnWGg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>OpenBIM standards: What are they and what are the main advantages deriving from their use?<\/h3>\n<p>OpenBIM standards are open data standards which are not controlled by individual suppliers while promoting interoperability between construction disciplines and different stakeholders.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/openbim-standard?utm_source=btod&amp;utm_medium=art2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The main openBIM standards are:<\/a><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Data standards.<\/li>\n<li>Workflow standards.<\/li>\n<li>OpenBIM services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Data standards<\/h3>\n<p>The complexity of modern construction projects requires the use of open standards.<\/p>\n<p>A single project can involve hundreds of stakeholders, from the architect to the contractor, each of whom must contribute and seamlessly access such data throughout the building or infrastructure\u2019s lifecycle. Open standards allow us to go beyond the limits of proprietary formats linked to interoperability, making communication and collaboration between all parties involved in the project streamlined and more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>The following belong to the data standard:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingsmart.org\/standards\/bsi-standards\/industry-foundation-classes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)<\/a> is a standardised, digital description of the built environment, including buildings and civil infrastructures.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingsmart.org\/standards\/bsi-standards\/model-view-definitions-mvd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MDV (Model View Definition)<\/a> defines which of these data descriptions need to be exchanged during a communication process and represents a property filter for an IFC file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Workflow standards<\/h3>\n<p>In a BIM process, there are different disciplines and specific models created by different professionals who need to communicate and collaborate by exchanging data, models and documents. In order for there to be efficient workflows and coordinated activities, standard workflows must be defined, such as a set of specifications that indicate the information necessary to achieve each process that makes up the building\u2019s lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>Standard workflows include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingsmart.org\/standards\/bsi-standards\/bim-collaboration-format-bcf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BCF (BIM Collaboration Format)<\/a>: Allows professionals to communicate coordination information, streamline communications and exchange feedback between professionals. This particular format contains problem descriptions, snapshots, comments, authors, the issue date without containing any geometry of elements of the model itself.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingsmart.org\/standards\/bsi-standards\/information-delivery-manual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Information Delivery Manual (IDM)<\/a>: Allows you to standardise the flow of construction processes by identifying the information required by this flow, the form in which the information should be specified and an appropriate way to map and describe information processes within a construction lifecycle.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/technical.buildingsmart.org\/projects\/information-delivery-specification-ids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Information Delivery Specification (IDS)<\/a>: Defines the Exchange Requirement within an exchange of information based on the use of a BIM model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>OpenBIM services<\/h3>\n<p>Among other openBIM services, we also find the bSDD (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingsmart.org\/users\/services\/buildingsmart-data-dictionary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buildingSMART Data Dictionary<\/a>), an online bSI service created to map technical data in a standard manner.<\/p>\n<p>The bSDD is a service that hosts national classifications (Uniclass, MINnD, etc), application-specific standards (ETIM, UniversalTypes, IfcAirport, etc), national and company-specific standards, dictionaries and their properties, permitted values, units and translations.<\/p>\n<p>The bSDD is an \u201cAPI-first\u201d service. End users can access it through software tools that have implemented the bSDD API. With these tools, IFC models are enriched with all the information contained in the bsDD to create standardised workflows of the highest quality. The advantages of this operating method are not only for designers, builders but also for manufacturers, suppliers and end users who can access definitions, classifications and object libraries in a shared, reusable and above all constantly available ecosystem for all software solutions.<\/p>\n<h3>The \u201ceasy BIM for everyone\u201d with ACCA software solutions<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cBIM is either for everyone or it can\u2019t exist at all! [&#8230;] In construction, there are many data users, each one has its own problems or interests but everyone has to be able to access the construction information system without any technological or economic barriers,\u201d said Antonio Cianciulli, CMO-CCO of ACCA.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind and with the aim of enjoying the advantages of openBIM, not only engineers and architects but also customers and end users can all benefit from ACCA\u2019s developments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/bim-management-system?utm_source=btod&amp;utm_medium=art2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">usBIM<\/a>, a BIM management system for the management of BIM processes and 100% openBIM workflows.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/bim-management-system?utm_source=btod&amp;utm_medium=art2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">usBIM.bSDD<\/a>, one of the first solutions based on the buildingSMART Data Dictionary that allows you to classify the elements of a BIM model in IFC format according to the bSDD standard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Certainly, one of ACCA\u2019s strong points of their solutions is simplicity, as L\u00e9on van Berlo (bSI Technical Director) also pointed out: \u201cIt\u2019s really nice to see how you make such complex topics so easy for end users. I think that\u2019s why it\u2019s so exciting to visit ACCA\u2019s offices. There is a lot of advanced technology but presented in a very simple way for end users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>ACCA software<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@accasoftware.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@accasoftware.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 2038683191<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/acca-software-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linkedin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/accasoftware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCPPt0-39wF2-93D5QHJJkaQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Please note: this is a commercial profile<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March, ACCA Software had the great honour to host the buildingSMART International delegation from the prestigious worldwide organisation that has been leading the digital transformation of the construction sector since 1994.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[576,131909,85810,464,172727,108905],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172363],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-110738","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-bim-news","7":"tag-bim-software","8":"tag-bim-today-june-2022","9":"tag-bim-video","10":"tag-contributor-profile","11":"tag-featured","12":"tag-sh-acca-software","13":"stakeholder_rel_tag-acca-software"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>OpenBIM standards: ACCA Software meets buildingSMART International<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"OpenBIM standards: What are they and what are the main advantages deriving from their use?
