1. CONCUR Demonstration Scenario Description
The demonstration scenario covers the activities in the process of moving from a client brief to preparing a bid for the building to house the steam powered turbine/generator for a small power station.
The demonstration mostly uses commercially available software applications and generally uses IAI IFCs for transferring and storing building and construction objects between partners and their software.
Fortum Engineering perform the role of the principal contractor who undertakes the plant design with alternative solutions from civil engineering contractors.
The demonstration scenario includes:
Inception Design
Concept Design
Scheme Design
Programme Planning
Preparing Cost Plans
The innovations include:
Using IAI-IFCs for exchanging information
Using IAI-IFCs for storing information
Using a web based IMS which includes an IFC model server
Using a web based browser for viewing and using IFC objects
Using an XML interface for interfacing with IFC models
