BIM2SAM.AI

Building Information Models (BIM) to Structural Analysis Models (SAM) Using Artificial Intelligence

Build instructions

1. Build the SAMBuilder and TclBuilder excutables

sh build

2. Install Tensorflow if you haven't.

pip install tensorflow

Or do it in a virtual environment (virtualenv is recommended.) Tensorflow does not work with Python 3.7 or above at the time this code is made, so Python 3.6 is recommended.

Training the neural net

cd Python/NeuralNets
python BIM2FeaturesNN_V1.py

Use the neural net in a BIM->SAM->tcl pipeline. This will generate a tcl file that can be run in OpenSees:

cd Python
python main.py
