The planning of the 2nd National University Sware Cup
|
FORUM 8 is planning to co-organize the 2nd National University Sware Cup, BIM Software Modeling Contest (Tentative title) with our distributer Sware Software in Shentzen, China. This event is the modeling competition for students (university, professional school) using object BIM software. One team will consist of five members and the theme is selected from a total of seven areas including design, quantity survey, solar irradiation, energy saving, heat insulating, and the newly added area - VR. The model is created in UC-win/Road or VR/BIM software and they compete with each other over the work quality of the produced works.
The final round of the 1st BIM software modeling contest was held in Qingdao Agricultural University, on April 17 2010. A total of 600 works were gathered from 82 universities and 135 teams via Internet for the pre-election. The selected 90 teams, 70 universities advanced to the final.
This contest is supported by Chinese Construction Education Academic Society, and Sware Software published the guidance of advanced case example, and posted the special forum on their website for PR with the contest information. It took a lot of time before this event started; two months for the advertisement and application, and three months for the university training.
The developed system was used for the final match and in consideration of fairness and transparency issues, the ranking was displayed in real time. The following image shows the excitement of students who gathered in the large university classroom. This final match was reported by local TV news.
