Introduction
The simulation of the thermal and acoustic behaviour of BIM models can be a complex and
difficult task because the majority of computer applications oriented to architectural design
do not fully generate the information needed to carry out this type of analysis. In other
cases, the difficulty resides in the fact that the exchange files used do not cover all the data
required.
Open BIM Analytical Model was created with the purpose of avoiding
these limitations and
to define a calculation model suitable for the analysis of thermal and acoustic
transmissions of a building. To do this, it is based on the geometry of the project and, using
solid and surface analysis algorithms, it is capable of generating all the elements that make
up the analytical model, such as spaces, surfaces, edges, junctions etc. Likewise, it
determines the existing relationships between these entities (which spaces they belong to,
adjacencies between surfaces, edges that form a junction, etc.).
This guide will explain the steps to follow when generating an analytical model as well as
the different tools that Open BIM Analytical Model offers for this end.
1.2
Starting a project
This section of the manual will show how to start a project and begin using Open BIM
Analytical Model.
Start by downloading the latest version of Open BIM Analytical Model from
BIMserver.center (https://bimserver.center/en/store/259/open_bim_analytical_model); to
download it all
you need is a BIMserver.center account.
The first step is to open Open BIM Analytical Model. Next, connect to BIMserver.center in
the top right and login, if necessary, following the indicated steps. Once you have logged in
you can begin using Open BIM Analytical Model.
To continue working on a previous job, select File Manager and locate the desired project.
Otherwise, to start a new project, select New…, choose where the file will be saved, and
give it a name and a description. Then a BIMserver.center screen will appear – this is where
you can create a new project associated with an active BIMserver.center user by selecting
Open BIM Analytical Model / 3
Create new project or connect this new job to an existing project in BIMserver.center by
clicking Select project, and a list of all your projects will appear. Select the correct one and
click Accept.
The program will load the selected project and any associated files into the project. You can
select the files that you wish to
import. Special care must be taken at this point to import
the file corresponding to the architectural model since it is the one that contains the
information that will serve as a basis for the creation of the analytical model. On clicking
Accept, the selected configuration will load and the main program interface will open with
your model loaded.

2.2
Elements
This section outlines the tools needed to introduce different components of the analytical
model into the project.
2.2.1
Spaces
The spaces can be considered as the calculation volumes into which the model is divided.
Usually the spaces of the analytical model coincide wi
th the spaces of the architectural
model. However, this may not be the case if the user tries to perform a simplification of the
calculation or, on the other hand, a higher level of detail is required.
The properties of a model space are:
Fig. 9. Definition of a space.
•
Reference. Represents a text that identifies the space in the project.
•
Type reference. Represents a text that identifies the type of space in the project.
Several spaces can share common features and, consequently, share this reference.
•
Location. Indicates whether it is an internal space or an external space. The external
environment option allows all the space outside of the building to be represented.
•
Surface.
•
Volume.

necessary to indicate whether it
is the ground or the roof.
•
Geometric parameters. The geometric parameters make it possible to provide
thermal and acoustic calculation models with information about the surfaces
independently of their representation.

in the model. To do this, first users must configure which properties to change and
then select the surfaces on the work area.
•
Mark surfaces as adjacent. Allows surfaces on the work area to be selected and to
establish adjacency between them.
•
Join surfaces. Allows several surfaces to be joined. To do this, first select on the work
area the surfaces to join joined, and then enter the vertices that make up the new
surface.

reference of the new opening and then enter the vertices of the opening on a surface
in the work area.
•
Assign a surface to an opening. Allows a surface to be associated with an opening
previously entered in the model. To do this, first select the opening on the work area
and then the surface to be assigned.
2.2.3
Edges
The definition of the edges of the analytical model make is possible to calculate the lateral
transmissions in thermal and acoustic analysis applications. If this information is correctly
specified in the model it is possible to determine the construction element junctions and
thermal bridges that are fundamental for this purpose.
The properties of a model edge are:

Shadows
The shadows in Open BIM Analytical Model represent elements that are not involved in
energy transmission but do generate shadows that must be considered in the thermal
analysis.
1. Own shadows. The surfaces of the building’s
own shadow elements, such as overhangs or
wings.
2. Remote shadows. The surfaces of the shadow
elements outside the building, such as
adjacent buildings.

2.4
Groups of spaces
In order to take into account the different thermal and acoustic requirements, Open BIM
Analytical Model allows different groupings of spaces to be defined. This way it is possible,
for example, to establish a grouping by use units and a grouping according to thermal zone
criteria on the same analytical model.
Fig. 13. Definition of the groups of spaces.
The following toolbar options allow users to work with the groups of spaces in the model
:
•
Manage. Allows new groupings to be made and the existing ones to be edited.
Fig. 14. Management of a group of spaces.
•
Assign. Allows users to select several spaces on the work area and assign them to a
previously chosen group.
Open BIM Analytical Model / 17
2.5
•
Delete. Allows users to select a space on the work area and remove its link to a group.
•
View. Allows users to view the spaces with the colour defined for their group in the
work area.
Generate
If there is a BIM project stored on the BIMserver.center platform that has an architectural
model defined using the IFC standard, the user can make use of the automatic generation
process. The algorithm in charge of this task is based on the definition of spaces and
architectural elements of the IFC to create surfaces and edges, as well as the determination
of the adjacencies and junctions. It should be noted that the user has complete control
over the final result of the generation and can modify the elements
they consider
necessary to adapt them to their needs.
Fig. 16. Configuration of the analytical model generation.
•
Analytical model. Carries out the generation of the complete analytical model from
the information of the architectural model in IFC format. The user must select the
spaces of the architectural model that they wish to include in the process. In addition,
the user can activate or deactivate the generation of the external surfaces, the edges
and the surfaces of the shadow elements. Finally, it is possible to use the outlines of the
spaces defined in the IFC model if they are already correctly defined.
Open BIM Analytical Model / 18
•
Edges. Generates the edges of the model from the existing surfaces.
•
Shadows. Generates the surfaces of the shadow elements (own shadow and remote
shadows).
•
External surfaces. Generates the surfaces in contact with the exterior that do not
form part of the group of shadows, such as the exterior face of the façade.
•
G
eometric parameters. Calculates the geometric parameters of all the surfaces and
edges of the model.

View
3.1
Views
The views are full or partial representations of the application’s
design model. It is important to note that the components of
the model are not linked to the views, so that they can be
created, modified or deleted without affecting the underlying
data structure.
Fig. 15. View type selection panel.
The Views group located in the toolbar of the applications contains the following options:
•
Create. Create a new 2D or 3D view of the model.
•
Edit. Modifies the properties of the current view.
•
Duplicate. Copies the current view.
•
Delete. Deletes the current view
•
Save the start scene. Establishes the current position of the view as the start scene.
This scene will be used to generate the graphical documents of the project.
•
Go to start scene. Position the current view in the position of the start scene.
•
Show references. Upon choosi
ng this option, references to other views will be shown
in the active view.
Open BIM Analytical Model / 19
3.1.1
Types of views
It is possible to generate different types of 2D and 3D views of the project. Each one is
oriented to facilitate user interaction with the model in a different way.
3.1.2
Range of vision
All the view types, except the 3D view, are associated with an area delimited by two planes,
a top and a bottom plane, which determines the elements that will be represented in the
view. In the view configuration panel, it is possible to specify the distance to the top and
bottom plane from the origin of the view.
In elevation, section and general plan views, the top plane is perpendicular to the direction
of vision in a positive direction. The bottom plane is the same, but in a negative direction.
Fig. 16. Configuration of the range of vision in the edit panel of a view.
Open BIM Analytical Model / 20
3.1.3
Visibility of model layers
In the configuration panel of a
view it is possible to indicate the layers of the digital model
of the building that come from an associated BIMserver.center project, which will be drawn
in the work area.
Fig. 17. Configuration of the visibility of the layers of a BIM Project in the edit panel of a view.
3.2
Workplane
The “workplane” group in the toolbar contains the following options:
•
Define. Specifies the workplane associated with the current view. The workplane is
used as a base to introduce the components of the model.
•
Go to the workplane. Places the current view in the position of the workplane.
Each view of the model has an associated workplane. The workplane is automatically
generated in all view types except in the 3D view. Consequently, the options for the
“Workplane” group are only active when the selected view is of that type.
It is possible to define the workplane of a 3D view using one of the following options:
•
Existing view. The workplane of the selected view will be used.
Open BIM Analytical Model / 21
•
Define a plane. The workplane will be generated by entering a plane on the model.
•
Select a point and generate a horizontal workplane. A workplane will be generated
horizontal to the selected elevation point.

3.3
Inserting components
When entering a new component of the model or editing the position of an existing one,
the applications provide a series of tools to facilitate the user’s interaction with the work
environment.
Fig. 20. Toolbar to insert components in the work area.
Selection of the input mode:
•
2D mode. When capturing a component of the model its position will be projected on
the workplane, where the new element will be introduced.
•
3D mode. When capturing a component of the model the new element will be inserted
in the exact position of that component, even if it is outside the workplane.
Se
lection of the workplane:
•
Workplane. Indicates the view whose workplane will be used as the basis for entering
the new component. This option is only available in 3D views – in the rest, the
workplane associated with the active view will be used.
•
Displacement. Indicates a displacement on the workplane.

Export and interoperability
Once a job in Open BIM Analytical Model has been associated with a BIMserver.center
project, a link is created between the two that allows the data that makes up the
application’s calculation model to be updated if modifications are made to the BIM model.
Fig. 21. Open BIM workflow using the BIMserver.center platform.
Otherwise, the information from the analytical model can be exported to the
BIMserver.center project to be later interpreted by CYPE’s Open BIM tools dedicated to the
thermal and acoustic analysis of buildings. Some of these applications are listed below:
