Revit and A.R. Technology for Civil Engineering Training and Design.

Revit and A.R. Technology for Civil Engineering Training and Design.

Background.

Medical, scientific visualization, athletics, telecommunication, the entertainment industry, construction, and engineering are just a few of the many industries that use virtual and augmented reality technology. Interaction with the parties involved (to demonstrate various aspects of a project), visualization during the construction stage, assurance of industrial safety, and briefing on actions to take in emergencies are some of the primary applications of virtual reality and augmented reality highlighted by Tedesco et al., 2022. The potential of such technologies may be maximized by their integration into Building Information Modeling (BIM). Building information modeling, or BIM, allows one to model not just the physical components of a building but also its qualities and any potential alterations through time. Data collection, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and deconstruction are just some of the many uses for building information modeling (BIM) technologies throughout a building’s or structure’s lifetime. In other words, everything is done in BIM. A BIM model, therefore, includes the tangible element and massive amounts of data describing in detail each part of a building or structure.

 

There is a wide range of options for graphically expressing this data using Revit and augmented reality. For buildings, for instance, 4D-BIM allows for the representation of the construction process from start to finish (Rohil and Ashok, 2022). Including MEP components in a BIM model would allow for a volumetric depiction of heat carrier or air movement inside the building. Since a BIM model is a centralized database containing data about all aspects of a building or structure’s design, creating visualizations utilizing V.R. and A.R. may be fully automated. As a result, you will not have to use a 3D editor to process the BIM model or create any custom code. Very soon, AR/VR applications are becoming more popular in the AEC industry (Qiang & Badarch, 2022). This is because of the steady development of technology and the regular upgrading of tools. A rising number of educators, especially in education and training, are using augmented reality technology to provide students or trainees with a more visual, immersive, and interactive learning environment.

 

This research investigates the potential of virtual and augmented reality platforms for educating future architects and engineers. It also addresses issues with software development for visualizing, building information models, and educating experts in these fields. The article provides an overview of the most pressing topics of current research in the field. It advises what hardware and software to use for the most effective learning experience.
