Building Information Modelling (BIM) has the potential to significantly improve productivity, coordination, visualization, documentation, and waste reduction in the field of structural engineering. However, achieving these benefits requires smooth data transfer from the BIM platform to structural analysis or Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software, which can be hindered by challenges in interoperability. This thesis aims to examine the possibilities of converting from the Tekla Structures BIM platform to commonly used FEM programs, including Staad.Pro, Etabs, SAP2000, SOFiSTiK, Dlubal (RFEM), SCIA (SCIA Engineer), and Robot (Autodesk), for improved structural analysis and design. The study includes three case studies, one each in concrete, steel, and composite structures, where load-bearing data is added to the central Tekla models to enable interoperability. We first review the use of BIM in structural engineering, including the impacts on structural design and workflow, key benefits, and challenges during use. We then define and theoretically research the three main levels of interoperability between BIM and FEM software: direct native file exchange, direct link or bi-directional data exchange, and IFC (Industry Foundation Class). Our case studies demonstrate the benefits of using BIM and FEM interoperability for improved structural analysis and design, including the early detection and correction of design errors, and improved collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors. Overall, this thesis contributes to the field of structural engineering by providing practical guidance on the use of BIM and FEM interoperability for improved structural analysis and design.
