Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) increasingly benefits from modeling, simulation and visualization techniques. 3D visualization can provide a better way to obtain visual simulation results in BIM authoring tools. In this paper, we focus on improving interoperability, traceability, reusability and visibility of 3D visualization. We employ the DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism and its cellular extension Cell-DEVS, providing a method for visualizing Cell-DEVS models based on moving entities. We used this technique to develop a 3ds Max visualization plug-in for Cell-DEVS models based on BIM. This tool can show different animation models and allows designers to filter the building for visibility. We also show two case studies applying this tool for evacuation and occupancy simulation.
