Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta de modelagem paramétrica para projetos em sistema construtivo estruturado em perfis metálicos

Abstract

The large amount of construction waste currently generated in Brazil demands new construction methods and more industrialized process. The Light Steel Frame (LSF) is one of those new methods based based on structural subsystems comprising steel properties, not ordering water or production of material in loco. Building and its management should be improoved. Building Information Modeling, or simply BIM, allows the planning design, building using and maintaing of building. Therefore, it is not necessary to have an application that includes all these tasks. By means of parameterized information, different applications can share the same information and generate results, a process known as interoperability. This work is mainly focused on developing a tool capable of modeling structures in LSF, performing a structural pre-analysis and also providing a means to enable interoperability with other software. To this end, we applied the SketchUp, which has a programming interface in Ruby language, and has data generation modules compatible with the interoperability needs. As a result, the generated tool in this work has achieved satisfactory performance, even though there are still many resources to be aggregated.
