How much BIM software is there?

1.BIM core modeling software: mainly divided into four schools.

1)Autodesk's Revit architecture, structure and electromechanical series, with the help of AutoCAD's natural advantages, have quite good market performance in the civil construction market;

2) Bentley architecture, structure and equipment series, Bentley products have indisputable advantages in the field of factory design (petroleum, chemical industry, electric power, medicine, etc.). ) and infrastructure (roads, bridges, municipal administration, water conservancy, etc. );

3) After Nemetschek acquired Graphisoft in 2007, ArchiCAD/AllPLAN/VectorWorks became one school. Among them, ArchiCAD, a global market-oriented product, is the earliest BIM core modeling software with market influence. However, in China, its professional supporting function (limited to architecture) does not match the multi-professional design institute system. Nemetschek's other two products, AllPLAN's main market is in German-speaking areas, and VectorWorks is its product name used in the American market.

4)4) CATIA of Dassault is the highest-end mechanical design and manufacturing software in the world, which has a near monopoly market position in aviation, aerospace, automobile and other fields. When it is applied to the engineering construction industry, its modeling ability, performance ability and information management ability are obviously superior to traditional building software, but the docking problem with the project characteristics and personnel characteristics of the engineering construction industry is its deficiency. Digital engineering is an application software (secondary development software) for engineering construction industry developed by Gary Technology Company on the basis of CATIA. Its essence is CATIA, just as the essence of Tianzheng is AutoCAD.

2.BIM scheme design software

At present, the main BIM scheme softwares are Onuma planning system and Affinity.

3.BIM structural analysis software

ETABS, STAAD, Robot and other foreign software and PKPM and other domestic software.

4.BIM visualization software

Commonly used visualization software includes 3DS Max, Artlantis, AccuRender, Lightscape, etc.

5.BIM model comprehensive collision checking software

Commonly used software for comprehensive model collision checking include Luban software, Autodesk Navisworks, Bentley Projectwise Navigator, Solibri Model Checker, etc.

6.BIM cost management software

Overseas BIM cost management includes Innovaya and Solibri, and Luban software is the representative of domestic BIM cost management software.

7.BIM operating software

American operation management software ArchiBUS is one of the most influential software in the market.
