Development of Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs) for Structural Components

Development of Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs) for Structural Components

To develop an extended set of IFCs for Structural Components for inclusion in the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI). The project outcomes will improve productivity in the design and construction industry by developing a basis for incorporating and integrating structural design codes, analysis tools and methods into the IFCs of the IAI effort.
