Advent & Growth of CAD

Sketchpad, one of the first notable graphics interactive
engineering design and drafting software, by Ivan
Sutherland in early 1960s

Cont.
Started with Whirlwind project, a computer system to support US Navys
Airplane Stability and Control Analyzer (ASCA), operational in 1949.

Research focus expanded once ASCA project completed, one of the focus is
graphic research platform.
TX-2 (Later Generation of Whirlwind) was used as Sketchpads development
platform.

What is BIM?
Source from NBS

A Building Information Model (BIM) is a rich information model,

consisting of potentially multiple data sources, elements of which can
be shared across all stakeholders and be maintained across the life of a
building from inception to recycling (cradle to cradle). This integrated
format offers significant benefits, such as cost reductions, entire carbon
impact analysis, early clash identification, compliance checking, better
project management and simpler procurement to name a few.

How does BIM Change E & C process

Teams of multiple discipline checks for progress and design of other
teams early and effectively
Different teams effectively works with the same building platform
Front-loaded design process (Upfront workflow)
CAD-First approach

Ability to preemptively determine building efficiency

Benefits of BIM
Earlier and more accurate visualization of a design.
Automatic low-level corrections when changes are made to design.

Accurate and consistent generation of 2D drawings or 3D renderings at any

stage of the design.
Earlier collaboration of multiple design disciplines.
Easier checks against design intent

Addendum
The importance of the Information in BIM should be stressed. The
industry must not fall into the trap of seeing 3D CAD as BIM it is
much more than 3D modelling. The key here is rich information. This
is more than geometric information from a CAD model. The
information model might include contract and specification
properties, personnel, programming, quantities, cost, spaces and
geometry to achieve the real benefits a BIM has to offer. Software is
the interface to a building information model, rich content is what
populates it.
