Most FE models are still created manually. Automatic conversion from formats like IFC has been promoted for a long time, but in most practical cases fully automatic workflows do not work reliably. However, BIM models can effectively support FEM generation when used with the right methods.
Do you want to learn what actually works in practice—and how to do it? The time savings can range from several days to multiple weeks.
Join this free webinar on using BIM to generate FEM, with a focus on reinforced-concrete (RC) element frame structures.

Why Should You Participate?

  • Learn what truly works in practice when converting BIM to FEM
  • Understand the key challenges—and the solutions
  • Ideal if you work with RC frame analysis and receive BIM models from Tekla, Revit, or Allplan
  • Learn how to fix geometric errors and floating-point inconsistencies in BIM models
  • You have geometric errors / issues in you normal FE models
  • Understand structural element type conversions
  • Explore techniques that work for both small projects with just a few elements and large frames up to 20 stories
  • Gain lots of practical, experience-based tips
