What is a CDE (Common Data Environment) ?




  • Common Data Environment (CDE) is the single source of information for the project, used to collect, manage and share model, non-graphical data and all documentation amongst all project team members, facilitating collaboration and avoiding duplication and errors.
  • An application, generally available in the cloud, accessible from any device from which it is possible to manage in a structured and unique way.
  • A real-time, single database which is always available and up to date.
  • The main areas covered by a CDE are: Document Management; Task Management and Asset Management.

Top 5 Common Data Environments (CDE) for BIM are :-

  1. Autodesk BIM 360
  2. Trimble Connect
  3. Bentley Projectwise
  4. Procore
  5. Allplan Bimplus

BIM D's (dimensions) ?  – 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D. 2D BIM  – 2D drawings (with x & y axis) & documentation, views, plans, etc. 3D BIM  – shared information model used for visualization purposes, coordination, etc. 4D BIM -  (4D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE) adds an extra dimension of information to a project information model in the form of scheduling data. 5D BIM -  (5D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST) assemblies with time schedule constraints and then with cost-related information. 6D BIM -  (6D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE) assemblies with all aspects of project life-cycle management information. 7D BIM -  (7D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE + SUSTAINABILITY) optimizes asset management from design to demolition. 8D BIM  - (8D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE + SUSTAINABILITY + PREVENTION) for accident prevention through Design.

What is Asset Management ?

Image
  What is  Asset Management  ?  Asset management is defined as the coordinated activity of an organization to realize value from assets. The availability of appropriate and reliable information about assets is vital for effective asset management as it supports decision making, planning and execution of activities on assets. By providing a structured framework for the creation, collation and exchange of information about assets, BIM supports effective asset management. Thus, BIM must provide information covering the whole life cycle of assets. Benefits of  BIM  in  Asset Management  are :- Reduced project start-up costs. Reduced construction and operational costs. Better life cycle management. Reduced management process costs. Greater clarity on long-term in-service performance expectations and the consequences of design-stage decisions over life cycle performance and cost.

What is the use of AR, VR, MR & in BIM ?

Image
What is the use of  AR ,  VR ,  MR  &  in  BIM  ? VR  -  Virtual Reality Involves virtual environments which are digital with a complete cut from the physical environment. Uses head-mounted display or glasses. AR  -  Augmented Reality Involves real environments with the addition of digital elements, the live view can be captured using camera & digital elements will be added on top of the live view. Uses a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device. MR  -  Mixed Reality Involves a mix of aspects from both virtual & real environments with the involvement of digital elements, the virtual objects can be mapped to the physical environment.
