The National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) has begun joint research with 10 private-sector companies aimed at achieving parametric design through data interoperability between structural calculation and 3D modeling. The research will continue through fiscal 2028.
The National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), an agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, has begun joint research with 10 private-sector companies. The research will examine functional requirements and other matters relating to data interoperability between different design software programs, with the aim of achieving parametric design. The research will continue through fiscal 2028.
The objective is to improve the efficiency of civil engineering structure design work. The specifications and requirements for data interoperability will be examined in a form that can be applied across private-sector software programs. The article does not state when implementation will begin or the scope of application.
NILIM plans to continue practical work toward standardizing and commonizing design methods through joint research with the 10 companies. Future developments will be watched closely.
