Multi can be integrated as BIM model in buildings

The innovative ropeless Multi elevator system by thyssenkrupp Elevator can now be integrated in buildings as a BIM model through the DigiPara lift designer. The models can be uploaded and adjusted precisely into 3D building models.

As a result, according to thyssenkrupp, there is greater planning reliability as well as significantly more comprehensive detailed information even at an early stage of construction planning. By using the DigiPara lift designer, lift manufacturers can automate 3D-BIM models as well as system drawings. Through pre-defined parameters, components, and logics the intelligent elevator configurator assist in planning and configuring lift and escalators.

The press release states that the DigiPara software permits configuration as 3D models with just a few clicks. The models can be exported as IFC file for different LOD and LOI levels where the BIM characteristics can be edited. The use of pre-defined COBie parameters is possible as well.

First ropeless lift for high-rise buildings

"The automation allows for a quick creation of 3D BIM models but also for 2D system drawings of a complete Multi installation. Consequently, the architect’s requests can be answered almost immediately, and there are many further - yet undiscovered - options for the realization of tomorrow’s cities. In consequence," stated Uwe Winter, CEO thyssenkrupp Elevator Multi.

Multi by thyssenkrupp Elevator is the world’s first ropeless lift for high-rise buildings - with several independent cars in a single shaft that can move horizontally as well as vertically. This means shorter waiting times, higher capacity and lower space requirements, the company emphasised.

DigiPara has been cooperating with thyssenkrupp Elevator on several continents for a long time. The company’s software automatically generates system drawings and BIM models for elevator ranges such as evolution, synergy and TWIN. In January 2020, DigiPara was assigned the automation of Multi and was able to realize the project within six months – among other things, by using the special and adapted Multi dialog for horizontal routes.
