IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) -based integration of architectural design and structural design

Abstract

In this research, the process-oriented information modeling (PoIM)methodology is developed as a creative way to analyze information requirements and develop IFC extension models. Through the integration of the IDEFO process models and the enhanced IDEFI information models, the information requirements can be easily identified and derived from the process models. The information derived from the PolMis process-related, and is a general one which intends to characterize the flow of design information.
