Data Design System - Building Information Modelling (OpenBIM) Solutions
DDS with initiative for OpenBIM object libraries
In order to take OpenBIM a giant
step further to the next levels, a standard for object libraries are seen as a key element. In DDS' opinion, the buildingSMART datamodel - IFC - is a perfect platform for such a
library.
DDS has taken an initiative to prepare and propose an buildingSMART implementers agreement for how IFC can be used for such purpose.
The project is scheduled to be finished 5. March 2012, including proof-of-concept implementation in the DDS Viewer.

The financial report after 3Q of
2011 shows that DDS continues to grow and increase their market shares. The paradigm shift from producing drawings towards working with Building Information Models (OpenBIM) with
integrated calculations and capability to interdisciplinary coordination and sharing of information using buildingSMART standards, really seems to be gaining momentum. The 3Q result of
2011 is all time high in both revenue and profit margin.
