Abstract

This paper starts by studying the seven characteristics of BIM and the essential functions of BIM software and divides BIM software into three categories, modelling software, functional software, and platform software. The definitions and basic applicable requirements of the three classifications of software are given, the detailed functions of the commonly used software in the three classifications are introduced, and the classification of commonly used BIM software in China is summarized to solve the problem of correct selection of BIM software in practical applications by engineers and technicians, and to facilitate the understanding and learning of relevant BIM software by engineers.
