Research Materials for the Thesis

The objective of this research is to create an automated design feedback workflow serving QTO for structural components using Dynamo, a BIM-assisted visual programming tool. A BPMN(Business Process Modeling Notation) Diagram drawn up with Visio software can clearly show the flow forms of data types and information between 'Client', 'Structure Engineer' and 'Estimator'; UML (Unified Modeling Language) Diagram can be used to classify, construct, document, interpret and visualize numerous elements of a dense system using a standardized language to make the data hierarchy clear and the information explicit; Revit Dynamo scripts are used to automate the design-feedback process; Detailed data of the study results are presented in Project Data.本研究旨在借助BIM辅助可视化编程工具（Dynamo），构建一套面向结构构件的工程量核算（Quantity Takeoff，QTO）自动化设计反馈工作流。使用Visio软件绘制的业务流程建模标注（Business Process Modeling Notation，BPMN）图，可清晰展示“客户”“结构工程师”与“估算师”之间的数据类型与信息流转形式；统一建模语言（Unified Modeling Language，UML）图可依托标准化语言对复杂系统的各类元素进行分类、构建、归档、阐释与可视化，从而明晰数据层级、明确信息内涵；Revit Dynamo脚本可实现设计反馈流程的自动化；本研究的详细成果数据将收录于项目数据集（Project Data）中。
