6 Certification Import and export interfaces of applications Examine Evaluate Document Basis: Various Model View Definitions Current: CoordinationView_V2.0 (Coordination of different planning disciplines) Current Status 38 registered applications for certification 25 certifications (export & import) finished (-> Close communication between software developer <-> Certification Team 6

7 Coordination View 2.0 Scope of Coordination View 2.0 Coordination between three disciplines Coordination within these disciplines Structure + Shape + Properties Exchange requirements in Coordination View 2.0 CV Architecture (to MEP, to Struct) CV MEP (to Arch, to Struct) CV Structural (to Arch, to MEP) (no roundtrip data exchange!) 7

8 Test Instructions I Basic Test Instructions Detailed instruction for the test-files to be built by vendors All Root Concepts are covered Random Tests Individual Test Cases of the candidates Specifics of each applications within the framework of CV 2.0 Tricky / strange examples from end-users Replacement Tests Alternative test cases in case of not applicable basic tests instructions 8

27 Summary: Software-Interface Certification 2.0 Current status Information Background Based on IFC2x3 Coordination View Sub-views to support coordination between disciplines: Arch / Struct / MEP Export- / Import-Certification Resources GTDS-Web-platform Automated Checking-Tool for Export Team of Auditors (Currently from Germany, any other country possible) 2-weekly consulting telecons Status This table becomes updated automatically out of GTDS 27

28 Future Development of Software Validation & Checking BCF 28

29 Future Development of Software Validation & Checking Implementation of Lessons learnt from IFC2x3 Certification Update and improvement of IFC2x3 test instructions New test instructions for new MVDs New GTDS Based on new technology Supporting BCF New Automated checking (KIT is leaving -> new partner) Quality to be Certified 29

30 Data Round Trip? Is it really necessary? Or more an academic exercise? Usually not Important is: Information exchange for a specific purpose Real Bulk-IFC-Data Round Trip is only required in very few cases Checking Data Round Trip Good idea for identifying issues Certifying Data Round Trip Bad idea Not achievable for certification Applications are too different internally Just think about wall-intersection in various BIM-CAD applications Even udates of one software package can not achieve downward compatibility There is a better solution for workflow-support: => BCF + IFC 30

31 Problemsolving in Merged Models from Partial Models of Special Engineers IFC 31

32 BCF - BIM Collaboration Format BCF BIM-Manager Special Planner 32

33 BIM Collaboration Format BCF is BCF XML A ZIP-container with BCF-Data represented as a physical file format Institute of Applied Building Informatics

34 Instead of multilateral file exchange ARCH Is everyone on the most recent BCFs? File.bcfzip How should I transport a BCF file? File.bcfzip Did I send the latest issues to HVAC? HVAC MEP Did we update our IFC-files? File.bcfzip Institute of Applied Building Informatics

35 BCF Servers act as central communication hubs ARCH HVAC MEP Institute of Applied Building Informatics

36 BIM Collaboration Format BCF is BCF XML A ZIP-container with BCF-Data represented as aphysical file format Quality to be Certified BCF API A webservice supporting the direct exchange of BCF-data between applications Institute of Applied Building Informatics
