Integrate structure early in design
As an architect, you can now validate your structural choices from the preliminary design phase without waiting for the engineering firm's feedback. Visualize your BIM models in IFC format directly in your browser with no plugins to install. Collaborate in real-time with structural engineers on a shared platform and reduce the back-and-forth iterations that extend your design timelines.
Design constraints
Late consideration of structural constraints is one of the main sources of rework during design phases. These challenges directly impact your timelines and the quality of your architectural projects.
Late integration
Structural constraints are frequently discovered too late in the design process, during detailed design or execution phases. These late discoveries lead to costly modifications of the architectural design and significant rework of drawing packages.
Model exchanges
Exchanging BIM models between architecture software and engineering tools involves tedious format conversions. Data loss and incompatibilities during IFC exports/imports generate errors and considerable time waste for all parties involved.
Pre-dimensioning
Estimating structural member sizes (columns, beams, slabs) without a suitable tool remains difficult for architects. Rules of thumb are often insufficient and can lead to costly surprises when the structural engineer gets involved later in the project.
Collaboration
Fluid exchanges with structural engineers require a common platform where both disciplines can view models, share annotations and track design evolution. Without such a tool, communication relies on emails and meetings that slow down progress.
Design with structure TriDyme provides you
TriDyme provides you with the tools to integrate structural constraints into your design workflow from the earliest project phases. Gain autonomy and significantly reduce design rework and costly iterations.
Native IFC visualization directly in your web browser with no plugins or additional software to install. Browse through building floors, isolate structural elements by type and share annotated views with your project team.
BCF format annotations for collaborative BIM model reviews. Identify areas of concern, add comments directly on the 3D model and track the resolution of each issue with the engineering team.
Access to pre-dimensioning applications like Structure 3D for quick parametric structural analysis. Model your structure in 3D, define loads and obtain optimal sections in minutes without advanced calculation expertise.
Smooth collaboration with engineering firms on the TriDyme platform. Share your models, exchange comments and track the progress of structural studies in real-time from your project workspace.
