SIMULACIÓN VIRTUAL MEDIANTE MODELOS 3D PARA EL ASEGURAMIENTO DE LA CALIDAD DE LA DOCUMENTACIÓN EN PROYECTOS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN

Abstract

The complexity of current construction projects and the multiple participating agents leads a technical documentation fragmentation. Architects and engineers produce their own "fragments" of 2D documentation, and because there is no real integration of such documentation, it is common that there are plans overlaps, different versions, measures inconsistencies, etc-. , therefore appear conflicting information during the execution of the work, leading implementation delays, increased costs, frictions between the different parties involved and, possibly, legal problems. However, by their nature, multiple documents 2D CAD are necessary to define a construction, and promotes documentation fragmentation, but on the other hand, a high quality documentation of the core of the project is the basic condition for a good quality at all stages and processes throughout the project life cycle. The virtual construction is a process that allows modeling, simulating and visualizing the result of the construction, integrated into a single model, all elements of the project. Then, different agents can visualize and review the results of construction and it can be corrected in design phase problems that only appear during the implementation phase, such as spatial conflicts, collision detection, or other documentation inconsistencies, avoiding delays and cost overruns.
