Automated Rule Checking for MEP Systems Based on BIM and KBMS

Due to the growing complexity of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designs rules that govern them, performing rule checks manually has become expensive. However, MEP-based checking not received adequate attention compared automated in other domains. Based on Knowledge Management Building Information Modeling (BIM), an system integrated knowledge base management (KBMS) for model information expansion, extraction, integrity checking, element spacing was developed. MEP were collected, optimized, stored base. The KBMS facilitates A Revit plug-in developed including functions KBMS, Model Integrity Checking, Elements Space Locating non-compliant view. This study both BIM technologies achieve MEP. simplifies process systems manner.
