  Advanced geomodelling and BIM

  Since geological modelling and BIM management require sophisticated, dedicated, algorithms and software, these two functions cannot be seamlessly integrated in a single software platform, hence the requirement of a workflow linking different software in a standard, reliable and smooth sequence of modelling tasks, where geometrical and topological primitives are exported from the geological modelling software in a suitable and open format and imported in BIM. Here we discuss the results of a R&D program that yielded both a new powerful geological modeller and an efficient connection with BIM. The more innovative part of our new workflow allows rigorously updating the BIM model when the geological model is updated (e.g. when new geological data are made available, or when new interpretations are introduced), and to transparently trace these updates to maintain a “timeline” of entire modelling project. At the same time our strategy maintains the geological modelling and BIM software separate, allowing both to have an independent development in the next years, pushed by different needs and engineering/industrial applications.
