End-to-end BIM workflow for geotechnical engineering – faster, simpler, more reliable
End-to-end BIM workflow for geotechnical engineering – faster, simpler, more reliable
Combine geological model, mass determination, planning of excavations, structural analysis, design and plan creation on the basis of a data model in Revit with FIDES software.
Soil layer model
- Importing and editing DTMs
- Use of drilling profiles and/or DTM
- Library of standard-compliant soil materials
- Import Leapfrog Works models
Creating excavation pits
- Create excavations based on existing elements such as foundation slabs, inclined slabs, retaining walls, foundations and SBIM elements
- Predefined excavation families, including slopes and berms
- Link excavation geometry to foundation slabs or 2D lines
- Model excavation backfilling
Retaining Walls
- Dialog-based creation of parametric retaining wall systems
- Support for all common wall types: soldier pile walls, sheet pile walls, bored pile walls and diaphragm walls
- Flexible definition of elevations and elevation profiles
- Automatic adaptation to digital terrain models
- Parametric anchor levels and walers
- Detailed component schedules and quantity take-offs

Drawing Generation
- Elevation markers
- Slope and angle dimensions
- Material labels
- Slope hatching
- Automatic dimensioning of key excavation coordinates
- Longitudinal sections for curved elements or alignments, applicable to all Revit, SBIM and FIT elements as well as Revit families
Calculation of cut and fill
- Quantity take-off considering construction phases
- Support for different construction phases
Connection to FIDES geotechnics structural analysis programmes
- Export of 2D sections
- Reimport of the calculation results in the form of components such as sheet pile walls, bored pile walls, soldier pile walls, anchors, walings,…
Design of Alignment-Based Structures
- Fully parameterisable components including Cross slope, variable component heights
- Unfolding of curved component – curved longitudinal section
- Cutting at stations
