AECOsims

AECOsims is a proprietary building information modeling (BIM) software developed by Bentley Systems. It is designed for the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to facilitate the creation, management, and collaboration of complex building and infrastructure projects. The software allows users to develop intelligent 3D models that contain not only geometric information but also data related to the building's components, systems, and project lifecycle.

The core functionality of AECOsims revolves around its ability to integrate various disciplines and workflows. Architects, engineers, and constructors can work concurrently on the same model, reducing coordination issues and design clashes. The software supports the creation of detailed architectural designs, structural analysis, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) system modeling. It also enables the generation of construction documents, specifications, and quantity takeoffs directly from the 3D model.

AECOsims integrates with other Bentley products and solutions, creating a comprehensive digital workflow for project delivery. It aims to improve project predictability, reduce waste, and enhance the overall quality of built assets. The software is particularly noted for its capabilities in handling large-scale and complex infrastructure projects, including buildings, bridges, and power plants. Its focus on data-rich models and interoperability positions it as a tool for digital project delivery and asset management.
