Análisis de los software BIM en el contexto de un concurso internacional.

One of the most effective ways to encourage the use of new approaches like BIM consists on applying Project Based Learning (PBL). According to this methodology, teams might gain knowledge and skills by solving a realistic challenge, that is to say, they learn by doing. In this way, team members can experiment and investigate by themselves. BIM contests stands as one of the most encouraging PBL activities.

In this way, team members can experiment and investigate by themselves. BIM contests stands as one of the most encouraging PBL activities. This format has the additional advantage that all teams work on the same problem, what eases the comparison of the results. In this sense, the analysis of the proposed Building Execution Plan (BEPs) provides useful insights about the know-how of the different designs. Despite the interest and usefullness of these results, no comparisons of similar BIM work flows have been carried out. To solve this gap, this paper analyzes, for the first time, the BEPs of the BIM projects presented in the different calls of the international contest BIM Valladolid. This analysis provides a useful insight about the most common software in each discipline. The evolution of the software of teams throughout time, as well as the information flows between the modeling and the structural analysis software of the proposals are also presenteds work on the same problem, what eases the comparison of the results.
