As we seek to advance the reach and benefits of BIM, we see that it extends in two directions, with the B standing for [CLICK] better performing assets and better performing projects.
âIMâ, for Bentley, are the innovations that drive BIM, which we see across two axes: the depth of information modeling and the breadth of information mobility.
Bentleyâs approach to advancing BIM is collaborative, taking place across both of these axes.
BIM âLevel 1â design modeling focuses on 3D visualization to consistently communicate and document designs, reducing errors.
In âLevel 2 collaborative BIMâ advancements, benefits expand to performance improvements.
At Level 2, âoptioneeringâ captures the potential of deeper information modeling to simulate a designâs performance, to the extent of assessing trade-offs across disciplines and systems, in terms of cost, time, efficiency, and constructability. In effect, the design is enriched by way of âanalytical modeling,â which predicts asset performanceâfor example, anticipated operating pressures at various nodes in a piping network for potable water supply.
Â
At the same time, Level 2 BIM advances enhance project delivery by broadening information mobility through constructionâand throughout extended teams spanning procurement, fabrication, and sitework. For their purposes, âconstruction modelingâ adds in temporary structures like scaffolding and formwork, and detailed construction specs and sequences not explicitly modeled in the designâincluding, for example, the as-built configuration of conduits, gas pipes, and reinforcing elements within a wall.
In both Level 2 cases, it turns out that Level 1 design modeling contributes substantially toward optioneering and project delivery benefits (Fig. 2). By accomplishing analytical modeling and construction modeling through âoverlaysâ referencing (but preserving!) the design decisions, errors are further minimized, and performance improved.
As important as these advancements are in their own right, we can look forward to a greater magnitude of BIM returnsâthe aspiration for âLevel 3â performance during infrastructureâs operations lifecycle, after construction has realized the physical asset. In this Level 3 vision, assets and their components are networked and connected within their physical environment, providing feedback for operational controls, maintenance, and safety. In effect, beyond visualization and simulation, Level 3 information modeling supports âreactionâ: enabling continuous real-time decisions for best performance. The infrastructure asset, connected through real-time sensors to an âinformation-modeledâ counterpart, can operate with intelligence.
Â
And for Level 3, it again turns out that the virtual environment, cumulatively enriched from Level 1 design modeling and Level 2 analytical modeling and construction modeling, is essential. The alignment and convergence of the physical and virtual environments can then achieve immersion, where information mobility is perfected through mobile devices serving as cursors into digital âhypermodels.â These link the accumulated information modeling for an asset within its 3D real-world positioned context, making its intelligence intuitively accessible.
Â
For real-time data streaming from embedded sensors in Level 3-connected infrastructure assets, Level 2âs analytical modeling provides the frame of reference needed to support actionable decisions. To start with, observed readings can be compared against the benchmark of Level 2 predicted readingsâthen the analytical models are permuted systematically until varying design parameters appear to fully account for the differences. This reveals the extent of as-built departures and/or as-operated deterioration with respect to the modeled design, which observed âdesignâ parameters are in turn analytically modeled to continuously confirm reliability and safety margins.
In the water network example, observed operating pressures, in conjunction with the attendant analytical modeling, yield as-operated âdesign parametersââwhich, when compared with the actual design modeling, reveal the probable location, and effects, of accumulated corrosion. When this approach is used to expeditiously find and repair underground leaks, yielding savings in water and excavations, and minimizing disruptions, the return on design modeling and analytical modeling compound. Going beyond merely real-time monitoring, this reactive intelligence completes the reach for asset performance management.
Level 3 immersion, for literally âhands-onâ access to design modeling and construction modeling intelligence, can even achieve breakthroughs in infrastructure asset safety and resilience. A first responder with a âwearableâ display, for instance, could look âthroughâ the positionally aligned and hypermodeled building wall to locate those as-built construction-modeled conduits and gas pipes. Not only would this timely reveal the immediate risks, but also the potential mitigation strategiesâthrough hyperlinked safety procedures. With immersion, the lifecycle information accumulated and managed through BIM Levels 1, 2 and 3 can become lifesaving!
So the reality is that in this environment many things can go wrong and waste money and time. Think about the time wasted in searching and transferring files over slow network connections. Broken references and inconsistent standards that further complicate this issue. Travel expenses, manual design reviews, lost feedback â all these add up to make projects inefficient and wasteful.
Information mobility empowers project teams to share AECO and geospatial information within models across the infrastructure lifecycle and project disciplines, all in a controlled and secure fashion regardless of the file formats or devices used. Information mobility is the long awaited payoff for interoperability: ensuring the right version of information, in the appropriate format and with the required level of precision, can be accessed by the right people at the right time.
Information mobility is particularly crucial in integrated projects to facilitate collaboration and enable decisions to be made in the context of other disciplines â making the âhand-offâ of information between design and construction and the âhandoverâ between construction and operations âhands-on!â
Bentleyâs i-model container for open infrastructure information exchange delivers this information mobility while the ProjectWise system of collaboration servers and services secures it. Together, they ensure information mobility with integrity.
So I repeat the PW description because it is important. PW is a systemâŠ..capabilities.
It is important to note that ProjectWise is a family of software products. We group them into 3 distinct areas: work-sharing or content management, content re-use or publishing, and dynamic feedback or review. This theme of share, publish, and review is carried throughout this presentation and in all our marketing material.
ProjectWise ensures information mobility because it is a system of collaboration servers and services for AECO information for the design and construction of infrastructure projects while the work is in progress. AECO refers to architectural, engineering, construction and operations. We group ProjectWise software products into 3 categories: work-sharing, content reuse, and dynamic.
Work-sharing provides Organizational Agility in a Managed Environment by creating and maanging ongoing work-product effectively â where the right people quickly and reliably accelerate work-in-progress using infrastructure tools and workflows of choice.
Content re-use maximizes value across the enterprise by informing project stakeholders and enterprise systems in a more consistent, timely and predicable manner using high-impact deliverables.
Dynamic feedback ensures Timely and Actionable Participation by synchronizing comments to resolve issues quickly and effectively in a âclosed-loopâ, returning feedback in context to all the relevant designers so as to be actionable.
i-models are a medium for information exchange for projects associated with the life-cycle ofinfrastructure assets
Â
i-models contain information with engineering precision and no loss of accuracy.
Â
They store their own Provenance, so they retain knowledge about their original source, the state of the information when they were published and why they were published
 Â
i-models are also Self Describing. You donât have to have the original native application to display the geometry or view the business properties. Every i-model carries with it a schema that describes its content.
i-models are Flexible. They can be transformed to conform to a specific industry standard or to contain business data aggregated from sources outside of the design environment.
i-models are portable, they are optimized for sharing and distribution.
Â
And finally i-models include support for Digital Rights Management and Digital Signatures to ensure security and reliability.

Traditional deliverables that have been âhanded offâ in our industry have been paper plots, CAD drawings, specs, and now increasingly 3D models. But they remain disconnected from each other.
Hypermodels put your drawings into a 3D context, enhancing and disambiguating, the clarity of the 3D model. User can use the hypermodel to navigate the links or callouts by using the 3D model as a spatial index.
Hypermodels are based on the Dynamic Views innovation we introduced when we launched V8i. Therefore you can actually not only view but also edit your drawings from within this framework.
In MicroStation you will be able to author Hypermodels, establish the hyperlinks and also publish the hypermodels for review in Navigator
Hypermodels help solve these types issues
2D plans, sections, and elevations are automatically located in the correct spatial context to the model
As you navigate the model more information is exposed and discovered like these drawing details
You can control what level of information is displayed for a particular task like drawing coordination or design review.
Specifications, inspection and status reports become part of the model
Virtually any type of content can be included as part of the hypermodel throughout itâs lifecycle.
MicroStationâs hypermodels solve the issues associated with coordinating 2D documentation and 3D models. Coordinating teams, and work process during design, construction, and operations. They present all manner of interrelated design information for interaction directly within the spatial context of the 3D model â including drawings, specifications, images, documents, business data, reports, videos, animations, web content, and more.
Interacting with i-models in the fieldIt is more important than ever to have access to rich project information to make confident decisions onsite. Next generation i-models to give you the power of an i-model at your fingertips. In addition to delivering off-the-shelf apps, Bentley offers its i-model Software Development Kit (SDK) for Mobile Apps. The kit includes tools and documentation that enable developers to build apps that query and display i-model data on mobile devices.
