Model Coordination AI
AI systems that help coordinate multiple BIM models across project disciplines.
Definition
Model Coordination AI automates the complex process of integrating and coordinating BIM models from different disciplines—architectural, structural, MEP, and specialty trades. These AI systems identify inconsistencies between models, detect spatial conflicts, verify that design changes propagate correctly across disciplines, and help project teams maintain a federated model that accurately represents the complete building design.
In Depth
Model coordination brings together BIM models from multiple disciplines — architectural, structural, MEP, fire protection, civil — and identifies where they conflict or fail to coordinate. AI enhances coordination beyond simple clash detection by understanding the design intent and evaluating whether the combined result meets the project requirements.
The intelligence layer distinguishes AI model coordination from traditional Navisworks clash detection. When AI identifies that a duct passes through a rated wall, it does not just flag a geometric clash — it identifies the need for a fire damper, checks whether a fire damper is specified at that location, and flags the item if it is missing. This design-intent-aware coordination catches issues that geometry-only tools miss.
Examples
