The result is the I-BIM model, fit for use in the FEM software which speeds up the modelling process and reduces errors.
We conclude that the import and translation of the geometry into the FEM software are most successful and accurate when the initial I- BIM (tunnel) model is prepared at a level of detail appropriate for a computational model. In this paper, we present the development of a framework for the semiautomatic transformation of the various tunnelling models and respective ground models into the model suitable for further analysis. Consequently, modelling becomes a manual task, which is very time-consuming and error prone. The review of the literature led to the conclusion that an automatic merging of the tunnel model and ground model for use in the FEM software is currently not reliable due to the number of differences between various types of models as they serve contrasting needs.
This paper focuses on the design phase of I-BIM tunnelling projects using Sequential Excavation Method (SEM), in Europe, commonly referred to as the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), and addresses the problem of coupling geotechnical conditions and tunnelling Building Information Model (BIM) for the preparation of the computational model suitable for the finite element analysis method (FEM).
