Abstract

Under the background of the rapid development of China's construction industry, construction-related technologies are constantly updated and upgraded, and BIM information technology is widely used in the construction industry. It can provide a visual and dynamic design model for building designers, builders, owners and other participants, and examine the defects of building design through module analysis, so as to minimize the probability of problems in building design and provide technical support for the orderly construction of building projects. Building is a complex which integrates civil structure, electrical system, water supply and drainage system and other multiple structures. Actively using new information technology in building structure design can not only effectively improve the coordination of building professional design and structural design, but also provide greater convenience for the optimization of structural design. BIM technology platform can analyze the characteristics of structural design through dynamic display in the early decision-making, design and later construction, so it is recognized by architectural colleagues. This text employs BIM technology to visually represent a plethora of information related to architectural structural design. It successfully accomplished the creation of a three-dimensional model for a two-story building in Sales Office Building 1, utilizing the Revit platform. This process included smooth loading of family files and component additions, thereby achieving personalized customization of the building. The utilization of BIM technology aligns with the current trends in architectural structural design.

Keywords: BIM technology, architectural engineering, structural design, technology application
