- In order to enable the design of a multi-storey timbe
r building with respect to the requirements or
recommendations for an enhanced acoustic comfort, a c
ollaboration of various experts is required
during the design process creating their own indivi
dual building models.
A simplification of the
design process and the procedure of verification co
uld be achieved if all of the experts involved
work on one single CAD based Building Information Mo
del (BIM). The required design tools
(FEM and SEA for the acoustic computation) can be di
rectly coupled to the BIM.
For this
purpose, it is necessary to allocate much more valid
ated input data for timber building elements.
