About the Course:

The IFS Academy Industry Domain Oriented Post Graduate Diploma in Building Information Modeling
(BIM) and Structural Design & Analysis is a specialized program designed to provide in-depth
knowledge and practical skills in BIM technology and Structural Analysis specifically tailored to
different industry domains within the construction sector. BIM is a digital process that enables the
creation and management of information-rich 3D models throughout the entire lifecycle of a
construction project and perform Structural Analysis.

Key Features of the Course:

Comprehensive Curriculum: The curriculum is carefully crafted to cover all aspects of BIM,
including its concepts, methodologies, tools, and industry best practices. It focuses on the specific
requirements and applications of BIM in different industry domains, such as architecture, civil
engineering, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), and more. It also covers Structural Design
& Analysis aspects like Structural Design Principles, Load Calculations, Materials etc. Project
domains include Buildings, Bridges, Damns and Hydraulic Structures, Offshore Structures, Retaining
Walls and Earth Structures, Industrial Structures, Seismic Analysis and Structural Retrofitting and
Rehabilitation.

Domain-specific Applications: The course emphasizes the practical implementation of BIM in various
industry domains. You will learn how to use BIM software and tools effectively to address domain-
specific challenges, streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and enhance project outcomes.

Hands-on Training: The program offers hands-on training using industry-standard BIM software,
allowing you to gain proficiency in modeling, coordination, clash detection, quantity estimation,
scheduling, and other essential BIM functionalities. Practical exercises and real-world projects help
you develop the necessary skills and confidence.

engineer, Structural Engineer / Analyst or any other BIM-related role, this program will provide you
with the expertise needed to succeed.

Course Curriculum
1. Before we begin with Software & Industry Domains
BIM Fundamentals
 Basic Construction Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with fundamental concepts and
terminology related to the construction industry. Understanding construction
processes, materials, and project lifecycle stages will provide a solid foundation for
learning BIM in a construction context.
 Architecture or Engineering Principles: While not mandatory, having a basic
understanding of architectural or engineering principles can facilitate your
understanding of BIM processes and workflows. Familiarity with concepts like building
systems, structural elements, MEP systems, and design considerations can be
beneficial.
 BIM Skills: Family Creation, Structural Members & Connection Design, Schedules,
Coordination & Clash Checks, Sheet Drawings.
 Communication and Collaboration Skills: BIM involves collaboration among various
stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, contractors, and project managers.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, including effective teamwork, active
listening, and clear articulation of ideas, will enhance your ability to work in a
collaborative BIM environment.
