COMPUTER-BASED METHOD FOR AUTOMATED MODELLING AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for producing a data representation of a specific building, in particular in the form of a house instance building information model (100) (house instance BIM), by using a processor, which method comprises[1] retrieving a set of house product configuration data (110);
- [2] retrieving at least one configuration rule instruction (120);
[2.1] receiving a first configuration input,characterized by[3] responding to the first configuration input by[3.1] applying the at least one configuration rule instruction (120) to the set of house product configuration data (110) by using a configuration program which is executed in the processor to [4.1] instantiate a configured house instance structure (HIS) (130) formed of a plurality of HIS elements (140);
or[3.2] retrieving a pre-instantiated house instance structure (HIS) and applying the at least one configuration rule instruction (120) to the set of house product configuration data (110) and to the pre-instantiated house instance structure by using a configuration program that is executed in the processor to [4.2] produce a configured house instance structure (HIS) (130) formed of a plurality of HIS elements (140);
[5] retrieving from a (150) product BIM (PBIM) element data store (160) a plurality of PBIM elements (170), each of which corresponds to a respective HIS element among the plurality of HIS elements (140);
[6] creating a BIM element instance (180) for each retrieved PBIM element (170) by[7] applying to the retrieved PBIM element (170) a parameter value (190) or a relational property (200) on the basis of information carried by the respective HIS element (140); and
[8] forming a house instance BIM (100) by [9] assembling the created BIM element instances (180).

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for producing a data representation of a specific building, in particular in the form of a house instance building information model (house instance BIM), by using a processor. A set of house product configuration data and a configuration rule instruction are retrieved, a first configuration input is received, the first configuration input triggers (a) the application of the at least one configuration rule instruction to the set of house product configuration data by using a configuration program that is executed in the processor to instantiate a configured house instance structure (HIS) formed of a plurality of HIS elements, or (b) the retrieval of a pre-instantiated house instance structure (HIS) and the application of the at least one configuration rule instruction to the set of house product configuration data and to the pre-instantiated house instance structure by using a configuration program that is executed in the processor to produce a configured house instance structure (HIS) formed of a plurality of HIS elements. From a product BIM (PBIM) element data store (160) a plurality of PBIM elements are retrieved, each of which corresponds to a respective HIS element among the plurality of HIS elements. A BIM element instance is created for each retrieved PBIM element by applying to the retrieved PBIM element a parameter value or a relational property on the basis of information carried by the respective HIS element. A house instance BIM is formed by assembling the created BIM element instances.
