IES's strategy is to integrate analysis within the BIM process, enabling IESVE users to take advantage of valuable information during design, commissioning and operation. This is supported by our unrivalled interoperability with BIM platforms, enabling two-way information exchange to speed up the design process and facilitate digital design. Our aim is to encourage the use of BIM a to deliver Value, Cost and Carbon Improvement on all projects.
The IESVE software provides a single platform that integrates with the BIM workflow to create and capture performance information during design, commissioning and operation of a building.
Integrating Performance Analysis into the heart of the design process, IES offers an unrivalled interoperability with other BIM packages such as Revit, CAD software and analysis software with a variety of exchange formats.
IESVE users can now use the Pollination Rhino plugin as the user interface for creating VE models and use the .GEM file format to import them into IESVE quickly. You can also export models from Revit to IESVE directly using the same workflow.
The IES BIM Navigator brings all import settings into one step-by-step workflow, facilitating import from a variety of modelling tools.
Free to existing customers, the navigator allows geometry and data to be imported into the IESVE software via a quarantine zone for checking, healing and selection.
Once the import and simulations have been completed, design updates and/or changes to data can be merged into existing models without overwriting any pre-existing setup that has to be retained.
Quickly and easily import BIM files using the Create From BIM File option in the VE Start Page. Watch the video to find out more.
The IESVE SketchUp Plug-in is included as standard in all software downloads. If you already have SketchUp installed on your machine the Toolbar will automatically appear when you next open SketchUp.
Overall the integration between Revit and IESVE made modelling run a lot quicker and smoother. It really helped us to work together better, sharing our knowledge on both platforms.
