CONSTRUCTION PRODUCT MODELLING

摘要

A method for updating a computer aided design model of a building is disclosed. The model of the building may include at least one barrier and at least one penetrating item. A barrier may have fire resistance properties and include a passage to accommodate passage of a penetrating item, with firestop product information to maintain the fire resistance properties of the barrier. The method may be carried out by defining a universe of one or more barriers that have fire resistance properties; analyzing a computer aided design model of a building to identify an intersection of a penetrating item and a barrier that is within the defined universe; and analyzing the computer aided design model of the building for fire resistance properties corresponding to the barrier. The method may be further carried out by using the fire resistance properties corresponding to the barrier to identify a firestop product to maintain the fire resistance properties of the barrier; and updating the computer aided design model of the building to include information of the firestop product, a drawing of the firestop product, or both.
