Structural Modeling Services

Structural modeling is creating a digital representation of a building’s structural framework, including beams, columns, foundations, reinforcement, etc. It helps engineers design, analyze, and visualize the structural design in a three-dimensional environment. Using advanced software like Revit, structural modeling ensures that civil engineers can use the 3D structural model for 4D simulation, 5D cost estimation, facilities management, and clash detection, making it essential for efficient construction and design.

The components of a structural model include essential load-bearing elements like beams, columns, slabs, walls, and foundations. These elements work together to support and distribute the building’s weight. Other components may include bracing systems, trusses, and connections that enhance stability. A structural model accurately represents these components, ensuring the building is designed to handle various stresses while maintaining safety and compliance with regulations.

An architectural model focuses on a building’s design, appearance, and spatial layout, highlighting elements like walls, windows, doors, and finishes. In contrast, a structural model emphasizes the load-bearing components, such as beams, columns, and foundations.

The difference between structural and non-structural models lies in their functions and components. Structural models focus on the load-bearing elements of a building, such as beams, columns, and foundations, ensuring safety and stability. Non-structural models, on the other hand, represent elements that do not bear loads, such as partitions, walls, windows, doors, mep fixtures, finishes, and furniture.
