Nemetschek and COINS

 
   

Certification process of COINS implementation in commercial software started.
Announcing the development of a COINS compatible Building Information System (CBIS).

COINS stands for “Construction Objects and the Integration of processes and Systems” and has the objectives to improve processes and information sharing in construction projects. COINS is widely steered by the Dutch Engineering Construction Industry, represented by all major Engineering Consultants, Contractors, Research Institutes and the Government. Originating from the Netherlands, COINS gets international attention thanks to the support of BuildingSmart, the worldwide organisation for BIM standards (Building Information Modelling).

Essentially, through COINS, project requirements are linked to 3D objects. In the future construction partners will exchange COINS containers, which include 3D model data and documentation (drawings, texts…). The contributions of the various project partners are merged in a central database, allowing a consistent management of changes to specifications, documentation, objects, etc.
Nemetschek has implemented a direct interface to COINS specification standards in its flagship software products Scia Engineer and Allplan.

Nemetschek Scia is one of the first companies that has started the COINS certification process. Nemetschek is currently developing a BIM server collaboration solution, the basis for full deployment of COINS in practice.

Dry Dock Complex at Duqm Port, Oman

 
     
 

Daewoo E&CAbout Daewoo E&C
Daewoo E&C, Korea, is one of the industrial leaders in the fields of civil engineering, contracting, housing projects, and power plants. This leadership is based on exceptional technical know-how and outstanding corporate managerial skill. Having completed numerous projects in over 40 different countries, Daewoo E&C has earned a strong reputation for the Korean construction industry. For this specific project, a partnership was created with BasisSoft, Inc.

About the project
The Ministry of National Economy of Oman planned a dry dock ship repair yard as part of the Duqm port, about 600 km southwest of the capital of Muscat. The facility which includes two docks will serve international navigation and repair vessels. The dry docks and a floating dock are designed by Daewoo E&C.

The overall size of this port project is about 1 000 000 m². The major works include the construction of two dry docks, marine structures including outfitting quays, workshops and plants, administrative buildings and associated various mechanical and electrical facilities. Because of the very tight construction schedule, Daewoo E&C needed a solution that would enable them, during the design phase itself, to detect and resolve the potential construction issues. Daewoo E&C used Allplan for this project. A challenge because it was the first big project designed with Allplan in South-Korea. They worked together with BasisSoft, Inc to manage this project within a 3 month deadline, from November 2008 up to January 2009. During this period, BasisSoft, Inc. stayed in close contact with Nemetschek Scia for technical support and consulting.

All structures of the dry docks and pump room were modelled as 3D objects and fully fitted with 3D reinforcement. Tonnages and volumes have been deducted directly from the 3D model. Bar bending schedules and summaries have been automatically created from the 3D reinforcement. All construction drawings were derived from the 3D model with reinforcement using the shell module and designed according to the Korean standard. This approach made it possible to inspect conflict zones, to identify design and calculation flaws and to make the necessary corrections before the actual construction started.

Tips & Tricks: Freeform Bar Shape in Allplan Engineering

 
     
 
In Allplan 2011, the tools for entering and placing bar shapes have been expanded and improved. For example, when entering points for the freeform shape, you can now select the "Match edges" setting in the input options. Using this option, you can create the bending shape by specifying the start point of the bar segment and after this simply use tracing the relevant edges without having to click additional points. Also, the "meter" option is available for all the bending shapes. After you have created the bending shape, the bar length is displayed for information. This way, you can immediately check whether the available support length is exceeded or not. In case of this freeform bar shape, this is the desired result.

In the next video clip of a bridge arch, this new method is applied. Some other new features will be shown as well.

Part 1 (00:00-01:30) preview of the bridge model, creation of the sections.

Part 2 (01:31-02:04) reinforcement is drawn with the setting "Match edges" + the option "meter".

Part 3 (02:05-03:15) positioning of the bars using the method "single placement", which can now be found under the function "Place Bar Shape".

Part 4 (03:15-04:10) overview of the reinforcement setting in the new option dialogue box.
