Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of this work is to collect data about the Renga Software (Renga Architecture, Renga Structure, Renga MEP). All three programs included in the Renga family were studied, and their functionality was compared with each other.
The basic features of modeling in 2D and 3D views, methods of object visualization were considered. The main functions available in the programs and the properties of the elements were analyzed.
As part of the practical part of the work, the following steps were done:
- Renga's work on the design of wooden and metal structures was modeled, and possible problems and drawbacks of the system were fixed;
- the analysis of Renga's interaction with third-party applications for the purposes of exporting and importing data in OpenBIM formats was performed, and the capabilities of Renga for this interaction were evaluated;
- models were made of various materials (concrete, metal) to assess the possible impact on the export and import processes.
A special feature of the work is the lack of practical design of MEP systems. The work is a General research in this area.
The possibilities of data exchange with other Renga users (collaboration), as well as with other information modeling programs, were considered. The analysis of imported models obtained from Revit and Tekla Structure is carried out.
Based on the results of the practical part of the work, it was concluded that the program is suitable for modeling buildings made of metal and concrete, but is not applicable for structures made of wood and lumber.
