Why is there so much effort in trying to separate BIM and CAD. In the video you mention Revit is similar to Solidworks. They stem from the same idea with one focusing on manufacturing and the other in construction. You can run simulations in both. I'm saying all this to say BIM is CAD, you can't have BIM without CAD... CAD is literally "computer-aided design". If BIM is not included in that you are using the wrong software.
Agree
thanks a lot
Bim is used for design and construction of commercial building like airport and schools. Cad is used for designing of mechanical and electrical assemblies.
So BIM is the hub for civil, electric, architecture and mechanical engineers to work togather via tools such as Revit, right?

As Mech Product Designer who is used to having everything from Elect - Plastics- Metal in one 3D parametric CAD modeler What I never understood is what exactly is the actual BIM software? Is it just a concept or a package where a certain file form is required which then in turns give real 3D parametric visualization ?OK BIM is specific for Civil Construction industry where traditionally people use diff 3D CAD + built in Metadata,
An Architect may use Archicad, a Fabricator may use Tekla , a manufacturer of say doors and windows or capital equipment will use Mech 3D CAD like Solidworks/ Solideedge/ Pro E or Catia , an HVAC mfg might use some HVAC 3D modeller
BUT at the end of the day the final representation is a somewhat simpler ( on graphics card and file size) but parametrically accurate 3D model of a built environment + relevant Metada.. correct? SO it is not that diff than advanced Mech 3D CAD packages ... And when you say It is bad idea of translating from 3D CAD to BIM? How .. If a manufacturer already has spent money on 3D model of his product he will simply convert to a format which suite BIM !
Hi thanks for the short introduction, I do hawe a question, you say BIM 100% is not cad, as I have understood it. a simple CAD geometry + relevant Product data merged in one file in a specific order is = to a BIM file, am I totally wrong ?

I think so too
I think we should learn cad and bim
