A parametric Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based approach for modular design and construction

Rampart Partitions Inc.是一家三代加拿大家族企业，是一家为商业和机构建设项目生产可拆卸隔断系统的制造商。Rampart Partitions Inc.与巴黎高等技术学院的合作旨在开发一种基于建筑信息建模(BIM)的参数方法，用于模块化设计和施工。目标包括为模块化系统的设计和预制开发一个参数方法和工具，通过使用可视化编程工具(DYNAMO)或使用编程语言的API(PYTHON和/或C++)扩展所使用的设计软件(Autodesk Revit)的能力；在开发的参数工具与现有的产品和材料数据库之间建立双向链接，以便能够实时更新、动态导出材料清单(BOM)和更新价目表。该项目的结果将提高加拿大公司在模块化和预制建筑方面的能力，从而提高整个行业的生产率和质量。

Rampart Partitions Inc., a three-generation Canadian family-owned business, is a manufacturer of demountable partitions systems for commercial and institutional construction projects. The partnership of Rampart Partitions Inc. with the École de technologie supérieure aims to develop a parametric approach based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) for modular design and construction. The objectives include the development of a parametric approach and tool for the design and prefabrication of modular systems, to extend the capabilities of the design software used (Autodesk Revit) through the use of visual programming tools (Dynamo) or APIs using programming languages (Python and/or C ++); and the creation of a bidirectional link between the developed parametric tool and the existing databases of products and materials, to allow a real-time update, a dynamic export of the Bill of Materials (BOM), and an update of the price list. The results of the project will increase the capacity of Canadian companies in modular and prefabricated construction, thereby improving productivity and quality throughout the industry.
