Model Checking for BIM with Solibri

Course Curriculum

Chapter 1: Introduction

Lecture 1: Introduction – What is Solibri Model Checker?

Lecture 2: What is Model Checking and why is it used in Building Information Modelling?

Lecture 3: Before we can start… what do we actually need to follow along?

Chapter 2: Solibri Model Viewer

Lecture 1: Solibri Model Viewer – an overview of the interface and viewing a model in 3D

Lecture 2: Understanding Navigation and Selection techniques in 3D and in the Model Tree

Lecture 3: More tools to control the visualisation of the IFC-model

Lecture 4: Solibri Model Viewer Pro and the concept of the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF)

Chapter 3: Solibri Model Checker

Lecture 1: Solibri Model Checker – viewing, checking, communication and information takeoff

Lecture 2: An overview of the Role system, to control our rules, classifications and ITOs

Lecture 3: Open an example Role, to get access to its rulesets, classifications and ITOs

Lecture 4: About classification – manual and automated information enrichment

Lecture 5: Launching the actual Model Checker module to evaluate our model

Lecture 6: The Model Checking workflow – back and forth to the design model

Lecture 7: Exporting your model checking results – reporting and output

Chapter 4: The Solibri Ruleset Manager – deep into Ruleset configuration

Lecture 1: First look at the Ruleset Manager – where we can manage our rules

Lecture 2: About rules in Solibri – which rules are available for us to apply?

Lecture 3: Setting up our own Ruleset from scratch – by configuring rules

Chapter 5: Presentations & Issue Tracking – collecting comments and issues and syncing

Lecture 1: Communications – the basis for issue tracking on models

Lecture 2: Issue Sorter – not unlike a Powerpoint presentation

Lecture 3: Exporting our presentation for reporting and sharing

Lecture 4: Connecting to a BCF Server – to synchronise our issues online

Chapter 6: Information Takeoff – creating schedules from our models to extract information

Lecture 1: What is Information Takeoff? And how can we use it in Solibri?

Lecture 2: Creating a new Information Takeoff from scratch

Lecture 3: Exporting the results of an Information Takeoff

Lecture 4: Possibilities and limitations of Information Takeoffs in Solibri

Chapter 7: Solibri Optimizer – a nice free tool to trim down the fat from our IFC models

Lecture 1: What is Solibri Optimizer? How can it help us in our projects with IFC files?

Lecture 2: Compressing a model with Solibri Optimizer – simple to use with big results

Lecture 3: Concluding remarks on Solibri Optimizer

Chapter 8: Final Conclusions – where to go from here? And a few additional pointer and tips

Lecture 1: General Conclusions – what do we have to remember about Solibri Model Checker?

Lecture 2: And what about other software? Any alternatives?
