BIMData™

What you can do with BIMBlobs™

• Information and knowledge is stored in BIMBlobs™ that are used in OPS™
• BIMBlobs™ abstract information in OPS™ to make it simple for users to work with
• Used as bubble diagrams in planning scenarios

This is a plan of a field hospital. Each blob represents a space and the lines between the spaces represent which ones need to be near each other from a functional perspecive. This arrangement becomes a recipe and starting point for the designer to analyze the requirements of a field hospital, create reports or use it as a place to begin designing a more detailed layout. If each of these blobs were opened it would reveal a detailed space with furniture and equipment in it defining each space. Collection of space requirements such as this are available as templates or the user can create their own versions of this from other BIM applications or within OPS™.

BIMBlobs™ can be an abstract representation of detailed plans. This plan originated from a highly detailed BIM that was imported into OPS™.

BIMBlobs™ are abstract but they carry a lot of data. This is the same plan as the highly detailed BIM in the previous diagram, but with spaces turned to abstract blobs. Note that individual spaces still carry the detailed information of furniture in them. The user can decide how to hide or show different levels of detail without losing any data.
