Diploma in BIM Structural Modeling (IFC/ISO 19650)

The Diploma in BIM Structural Modeling (IFC/ISO 19650) provides comprehensive training in the design and management of construction projects using the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology. It focuses on structural modeling, including the use of the IFC format and the application of the ISO 19650 standard for information management. The diploma teaches students to create accurate and detailed 3D models of structures, analyze their behavior, and coordinate information among the different stakeholders involved in the project.

The program trains students in the use of specialized software for structural modeling, finite element analysis, and clash detection, optimizing design and reducing errors during the construction phase. Furthermore, key aspects such as data interoperability, collaboration in BIM environments, and information lifecycle management are explored.

The training prepares students for professional roles such as BIM modeler, structural BIM coordinator, and BIM implementation specialist, boosting efficiency and collaboration in construction projects.
