AbstractBIM Features
BIM For Thermal Simulations
AbstractBIM’s thermal simulations feature can convert building models into specialized files for thermal and energy analysis. It eliminates the need for manual model preparation by architects and engineers, enabling faster workflows and more accurate energy performance evaluations. As a result, buildings can be designed to be more energy-efficient and comfortable for occupants.
Extract Quantities Consistently
This feature can automatically extract key quantities—such as materials, areas, and volumes—from building models with consistent accuracy. It removes the risk of manual counting errors, speeds up cost estimation, and improves supply planning. Reliable data extraction helps streamline budgeting and project management.
Define BIM Data Needs
This feature can help you clearly define the specific BIM data your project requires from the start. By setting these requirements upfront, teams communicate more effectively and avoid confusion. Shared data expectations keep the project aligned and ensure smoother progress.
Build Smarter Workflows
Build smarter workflows can automate repetitive tasks in BIM projects, reducing errors and saving time. By offloading routine work to the software, teams can focus on higher-value decisions. Smarter, automated workflows lead to faster delivery and improved project outcomes.

“Simplifies architectural BIM models”
Pros
After spending 14 years in the building energy modeling industry I have always wished for a tool like this. abstractBIM is a software that simplifies detailed architectural BIM models and allows for smooth import of the geometry data into any building energy modeling software you prefer.
Cons
A few of the companys documents have not been translated into English which is a problem. And since there is no North American office, I cannot get support during my working hours. That said based on my discussions with the company it seems like both issues will be sorted out in the near future.
