Abstract

This research introduces the method of developing Korea BIM standard (KBIMS) architectural and structural element library and the methodology of converting KBIMS IFC property names with special characters. Diverse BIM tools are utilizing in project, however BIM library researches lack diversity on BIM tool selection. This research described the method to generate twelve categories and seven hundred and ninety-three elements library containing geometrical and numerical data in CATIA V6. KBIMS has its special property data naming systems which was the challenge inputting to ENOVIA IFC database. Three mapping methods for special naming characters had been developed and the ASCII code method was applied. In addition, the convertor prototype had been developed for searching and replacing the ASCII codes into the original KBIMS IFC property names. The methodology was verified by exporting 2,443 entities without data loss in the sample model conversion test. This research would provide a wider choice of BIM tool selection for applying KBIMS. Furthermore, the research would help on the reduction of data interoperability issues in projects. The developed library would be open to the public, however the continuous update and maintenance would be necessary.

본 연구는 KBIMS가 적용된 건축 및 구조 부재 형상과 속성 데이터가 포함된 BIM 라이브러리를 구축하는 방법과, 속성 데이터 변환 과정의 문제를 해결하여 KBIMS IFC 파일로 변환하는 방법을 제시한다. 프로젝트에서 다양한 BIM 도구가 활용되어짐에도 불구하고 라이브러리 연구에 특정 도구가 주로 활용되었는데 본 연구에서는 클라우드 기반 데이터베이스 통합플랫폼에 포함된 카티아V6를 활용하여 주요 12개 카테고리, 총 793개의 건축 및 부재 형상 및 수치 라이브러리를 개발했다. KBIMS IFC 속성 입력 과정에서 데이터 타입과 특수문자 속성명으로 인한 데이터베이스 입력 제한을 파악하였다. 입력 가능한 데이터 타입을 찾아 입력하고, 아스키코드를 활용한 특수문자 속성명 대체 입력 방법을 개발했다. 변환기 프로토타입을 개발하여 추출된 IFC 파일을 KBIMS 원래 속성명이 포함된 IFC 파일로 변환하고 시범모델을 활용하여 검증하였다. 본 연구 결과는 실제 프로젝트에서 KBIMS 적용시 BIM 도구의 선택의 폭을 넓히고, 프로젝트 데이터 호환 문제를 줄이는데 도움을 줄 것이다. 마지막으로 KBIMS 라이브러리의 지속적인 활용을 위해서는 관련 조직 간의 유지 관리 방안에 대한 논의가 필요하다.
