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

Rampart Partitions Inc.，一个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.的合作伙伴与巴黎高等技术学院合作，旨在开发一种基于建筑信息建模（BIM）的参数化方法，用于模块化设计和施工。目标包括开发用于模块化系统的设计和预制的参数化方法和工具，以扩展所使用的设计软件的功能（Autodesk Revit）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++）;以及在开发的参数化工具和现有的产品和材料数据库之间建立双向链接，以允许实时更新，物料清单（BOM）的动态导出和价目表的更新。该项目的成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力和质量。

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.
