Digital mock-up for centralising building data
Digital mock-ups play a key role in managing the entire lifecycle of a building. Inspired by the BIM and PLM approaches, it makes it possible to model data in 3D, while centralising it for all those involved in the project. As a result, architects, design offices, electrical engineers, fluids engineers and building services engineers can work efficiently together around a single database. Thanks to this approach, duplication is eliminated, consistency is ensured, and each stage of construction is better controlled.
⤢Digital mock-up integrated into cabling with FTZ-BIM
SchemBAT's FTZ-BIM module seamlessly integrates electrical and fluid networks into the 3D digital mock-up. By importing models in REVIT™ IFC or RVT format, it automatically identifies high and low voltage and home automation components. It then traces the routes, places the switchboards and boxes, and defines the routing of the cables. This integration guarantees unified and precise management of the electrical and home automation project, from design through to operation.

Who uses FTZ-BIM
Answers to your questions
FTZ-BIM is FTZ's module dedicated to integrating electrical wiring into the digital model (BIM) of buildings. It complements SchemBAT to export and import electrical data in IFC or REVIT™ format.
Yes, FTZ-BIM offers a dedicated REVIT™ add-on that lets you export and import wiring data bidirectionally, directly from the REVIT™ interface.
OpenBIM refers to exchanging digital models via a standardised, interoperable format, IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). FTZ-BIM natively handles this format to read and write building data.
Yes, FTZ-BIM simply reads IFC models to identify the various elements of the plan and integrate them into SchemBAT in 2D or 3D view.
FTZ-BIM exports the devices, cables, boxes, panels and routing produced in SchemBAT, along with all their associated technical information.
FTZ-BIM complements the SchemBAT software. It does not replace SchemBAT, but lets you integrate wiring studies produced with SchemBAT into the building's BIM model.
Yes, FTZ-BIM automatically identifies the various elements placed in a plan in OpenBIM (IFC) or REVIT™ (RVT) format, saving considerable time during integration.
Yes, FTZ-BIM is used on all types of buildings managed with a BIM approach: commercial, industrial, multi-family residential or public buildings.
Yes, data from the FTZ-BIM module in IFC format can feed the SchemBAT-Reality application, enriching the augmented reality visualisation with all the electrical information from the digital model.
