Abstract

Modular building is a new building form, and the integration with BIM technology can effectively promote the development of modular building. This paper relies on the BIM technology software such as Tekla, Mida, Augin and Twin motion, uses the component generation method to model the modular building, simulates the model generation process, and outputs the bill of quantities and CAD drawings required by the project. The design process of modular buildings is proposed, and the rationality and effect of BIM technology applied to modular buildings are analyzed.
