Vortrag: First International Conference of the BIM Academic Forum, Glasgow, United Kingdom; 13.09.2016 - 15.09.2016; in: "BIM in Academia - Current State and Future Directions", (2016), ISBN: 9781905866816; S. 379 - 390.

There are numerous data exchange solutions based on proprietary software interfaces for interdisciplinary data exchange amongst various planning process participants and their respective models. However, due to the fragmented and heterogeneous landscape of the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, also reflected in a large number of varying software tools and combinations in each new project, universal, software-independent
workflows for interdisciplinary data exchange must be granted for a successful building information modelling (BIM) implementation in practice.
The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) are the most widely used open building data standard.
However, when used for data exchange between architectural and structural analysis tools, there are numerous problems concerning the correct representation of geometry.
This paper will present the data exchange test from architectural to structural modelling and analysis tools using a case study. The building for this case study is modelled with different architectural BIM systems and exported as IFC files. IFC based data exchange to a structural analysis software is performed. The geometry representation of the case study building in the structural analysis software is evaluated in terms of consistency and usability. Type and
frequency of the geometry representation problems are recorded. Reasons for the incorrect representation are discussed, proposing possible solutions that could be used for the IFC based data exchange between architectural and structural analysis models.
