Abstract: OpenBIM is a universal approach to collaborative design, construction and maintenance of buildings. This technology allows a transparent and open workflow, facilitating the participation of all intervening technicians in a coordinated and simultaneous way, regardless of the software tools they use. The process of calculation and structural design can be
integrated into the OpenBIM workflow without complicating or modifying the way of working that has traditionally been carried out. To this end, CYPE has recently created applications integrated in the OpenBIM flow to analyze and design structures such as StruBIM Analysis, in addition to adapt the existing ones. StruBIM Analysis is a new software to calculate the structure, that is to say, it obtains nodal displacements, sectional forces of one- dimensional elements and shell forces by means of FEM analysis. StruBIM Analysis integrates OpenSees as its calculation engine. OpenSees is a well-known framework developed by University of California: Berkeley, which performs complex calculations efficiently. This calculation engine has the data entry through code and the result output without graphical interface. However, thanks to the integration of OpenSees in an OpenBIM workflow, calculating non-linearly building structures with a dynamic analysis with integration over time will be possible in a user-friendly and reliable way.
