Implementation of information model coding functionality according to the construction information classifier of the Ministry of Construction of Russia

On March 15, 2021, SiSoft Development, a domestic developer of the Model Studio CS integrated design and life cycle support system for capital construction facilities, announced that, with the support of the Russian Information Technology Development Fund, it was implementing the coding functionality of Model Studio CS information models (BIM models) according to the construction information classifier (KSI) of the Ministry of Construction of Russia.

The order of the President of the Russian Federation PR-1235 of 19.07.2018 defines a number of tasks in the field of modernization of the construction industry and improving the quality of construction. Among these tasks is the transition to a system for managing the life cycle of capital construction facilities by introducing information modeling technologies, adopting information modeling standards, harmonizing previously adopted regulatory and technical documents with Russian and international legislation, as well as stimulating the use of domestic software for information modeling of buildings and structures.

As part of solving these problems, a construction information classifier (KSI) was created - a resource that distributes data on capital construction objects and information associated with them in accordance with the classification (classes, groups, types and other characteristics).

The methodological basis of the classifier consists of the results of applied scientific research, as well as regulatory legal acts defining the rules for the formation and maintenance of the CSR and the information model of the capital construction facility (BIM), the structure and composition of the CSR.

Modernization of the Model Studio CS system Construction solutions and its integration with KSI are aimed at significantly increasing automation in the development of information models, the release of documentation and the preparation of the model for examination - taking into account import substitution programs, which, in accordance with regulatory legal acts, should bring the share of domestic software in purchases of state-owned companies to 70% by 2024.

The Russian Information Technology Development Fund (RFRIT), which supports projects for the development of domestic digital products and contributes to the digital transformation of companies, as a result of an open competitive selection, supported the SiSoft Development project for the development of the domestic BIM-system Model Studio CS Construction solutions.

We summed up the results of two competitive selection for grants at once: support for projects for the implementation of domestic IT solutions and support for projects for the development of domestic software. The winners were more than 40 Russian companies that will receive grants in the amount of 20 to 300 million rubles, intended for the development of IT projects. Grants are allocated within the framework of the national program "Digital Economy of Russia," thanks to which the Russian IT sector not only receives state assistance, but also develops very quickly, becoming the country's innovative engine, "said Dmitry Kryukov, Director General of RFRIT.

Model Studio CS Open Switchgear is an AutoCAD-based software package that includes AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3d, AutoCAD MEP, and more.

Model Studio CS intelligent objects, endowed with their own behavior, use modern calculation and analysis algorithms, allowing the designer to receive in real time all the necessary technical information for making engineering decisions. Objects contain the necessary and sufficient set of parameters that are used during design and documentation, as well as when exporting parameters to other systems.

Data Base Model Studio CS has a built-in system of classifiers and samples that help the user quickly find equipment, products and materials, familiarize themselves with their characteristics and place them on the model.

The flexible system of developing and replenishing a database of intelligent objects with developed ergonomics makes it easy to create new parametric components (equipment, products and materials) and allows you to expand the composition of a single database of equipment, products and materials. You can use previously created components and libraries, including existing AutoCAD blocks and type tables.

The Model Studio CS complex has undergone thorough ergonomic testing, on the basis of which special tools have been developed that allow you to master three-dimensional design in a short time. One of these tools is a tool for quickly moving from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional view. This feature allows you to design on a familiar 2D plan and switch to 3D mode with one click for spatial model analysis. In the process of designing open switchgears using the Model Studio CS software, the designer can simultaneously solve two problems, obtaining the real location of the equipment in space and the layout of the equipment.

Model Studio CS Open switchgears are equipped with a built-in mechanical wire calculation subsystem, which automatically calculates the wire length, tension, sag boom, as well as other parameters and, as a result, draws a wire sag curve. Mechanical calculation is performed in accordance with PUE 7. The calculation takes into account not only the properties of the wire and climatic loads, but also loads from fastening fittings, garlands, other equipment and wires.

The sagging curve is modeled by the chain line equation to improve the accuracy of the calculation results. The calculation subsystem works in real time: at the moment when the wire is drawn, the calculation is performed automatically. In the future, it is updated every time conditions change (for example, when moving or changing the height of the portal, the sagging curves are instantly recalculated and rebuilt). The same happens when you change any parameters that affect wire sagging. It is important that if desired, the designer can view all design modes.

Based on the results of mechanical calculation, installation booms and wire weights are determined, and a report is generated for each cell of an open switchgear.

Depending on the voltage of the line, the phase structure can be either a single-chain or a multi-chain line with different insulator strings. The Model Studio CS software package solves the problem of three-dimensional representation of multi-chain wire lines and insulator strings, which allows during the design process not only to clearly present the implementation of the project, but also to document all objects of complex phase design.

In projects, garlands can be used, the composition of which is different from what is presented in the database, therefore, to simplify the work of the designer, a special tool Garland Designer is provided, which allows you to quickly create a new garland - from scratch or based on an existing one.

Model Studio CS has a powerful tool for checking the permissible distances between objects and current-carrying parts. Distances between wires, equipment, wires and equipment are monitored. The system analyzes collisions between objects based on settings that regulate distances in plan and vertically. Information about collisions detected during the verification process is displayed both graphically and in a tabular form.

One of the most popular features implemented in Model Studio CS is work based on typical solutions: assemblies and typical solutions are stored in the complex database along with equipment, products and materials. For example, if a designer saves a cell in the Model Studio CS database by building a cell, you can then insert the cell itself into the project instead of each piece of equipment individually. The use of standard solutions allows you to significantly reduce the time for the implementation of projects, the ability to edit a standard solution allows you to take into account all the requirements of the customer, and the built-in calculation system instantly updates all the results of calculations.

For the convenience of working with a 3D model, there is a virtual specifier - a special dialog box that is always available for viewing and displays the composition of the model in a table of a given shape. The figure shows a virtual specifier with a custom BOM form, showing both the form of information representation (as a BOM) and the relationship between the table and the model: the selected BOM row automatically highlights the corresponding items on the model.

As a modern design system, the Model Studio CS software package allows you to form and issue a complete set of design documentation: drawings, sections, sections with dimensions, table documents in formats MS Word, MS Excel, AutoCAD, adaptable to the design organization standard - with frames, stamps, emblems, etc.

When you create documents, you use view and section tools, the automatic position, dimension, and leader subsystem, and other tools. In addition to the GOST-based drafting rules, you can customize additional, custom drafting rules for sections and drawing plans-this feature is provided by a special ergonomic wizard that allows you to create, store, import, and export dimensioning profiles.

To automatically generate BOMs, explications, and other table documents, a powerful tool is provided that makes it possible to generate a table in both an AutoCAD drawing Microsoft , Excel, and Microsoft word.

Information on the position, coordinates, dimensions, parameters of the equipment can be transferred to other applications, which allows for an integrated approach to design. Working together with other CAD systems (ElectriCS 3d, ElectriCS Storm, ElectriCS Light, etc.) allows Model Studio CS Open switchgears to take a worthy place in complex solutions for designing power supply systems.
