Abstract

Cultural heritage has become a topic of great interest in the recent years. The widespread of building information modelling (BIM) technology for the design of new buildings, has raised the attention of many researchers to explore the possibilities of BIM for the design and the documentation of built heritage in the restoration process. The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) and Digital Photogrammetry, powerful computers and many advanced software has made possible the creation of complex and complete 3D models of buildings. Today much of the research is focused in the multidisciplinary use of this big amount of data. This paper presents the considerations that were made during the research for integration of building information modelling and some of the main finite element analysis software in creating a calculation model through different exporting formats. A proposal is made in order to use the BIM for the documentation of the crack pattern in the existing buildings and to develop a procedure to export these cracks in the automatically generated calculation model. The paper also explores the methods used for the implementation of BIM in cultural heritage and further compares and evaluates the effectiveness of different export formats within the interoperability with some of main finite element software. The study also considers the difficulties and obstacles during the implementation of the procedures in BIM and the future possibilities of this technology.
