ON THE CHOICE OF SOFTWARE FOR BIM CREATION IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

In the modern construction and survey industry, BIM technologies are becoming an integral part of the production process. BIM technologies include: 3d design, information modeling (IM) of existing objects and process control. When creating a BIM model, as a rule, information about aboveground structures is used, less often aboveground and underground objects, and in some cases aboveground, underground objects and a geological 3d model. The close integration of BIM into the industry has a positive effect at all stages ofproject implementation, which is expressed in reducing the time, cost and improving the overall quality of work. Such a trend leads to an increase in the number of software products that support activities in the BIM environment, which, however, may cause the problem of choosing the most optimal software that meets all the needs of the user within his professional tasks. In the Russian market, geologists and designers use a fairly large number of programs for building volumetric engineering and geological models and transmitting this information to the project. Most of the programs used are quite time-consuming and have a high cost. In the article the existing programs on the market are considered and the choice of the most effective for creating BIM-models is made.
