The generation of the technical drawings composed of plants and detailed reinforcements. The structural analyses, that is performed in a structural calculation system. 
The establishment of a structural solution, that is carried out essentially over the digital drawings of the architectural project. The elaboration of a structural project involves a set of sequential steps, each one requiring specific tools: Within engineer enterprises, the adoption of BIM has led to significant changes in internal organization, in order to admit collaboration centralized in a single BIM model, supporting the different disciplines of a building design. Currently, the BIM concept and the technology associated constitute the main work platform, having provided an incremental collaborative capacity of communication among the design team and supporting an easy information delivery. The BIM concept is based on the generation of a single virtual model representative of the building, composed of the distinct specialties involved in a project and of all the information created throughout the building lifecycle. The information that is required on the development of each stage, is interpreted essentially from technical drawings, often leading to omissions and data inaccuracies and therefore, to some inconsistency in the final product.īuilding Information Modelling (BIM) methodology has been implemented in all domains of the Construction industry around the world. However, the process of developing multi-specialties within a complete project requires the realization of a sequence of phases assigned to different technical teams and using distinct tools. The activity associated with the Construction industry is widely supported by technology, which has recently achieved innovative advances aimed at various sectors of the sector. The research made allows identifying the most appropriate procedure to be adopted by structural engineers, given the interoperability limitations verified, enabling the establishment of a practical guide of sequential procedures on the development of structural designs using BIM tools. Two-way data flows between these systems were explored using distinct transfer strategies: add-in applications Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard data format. The present study aims to evaluate the degree of interoperability between the BIM-based platforms, ArchiCAD (Graphisoft), Revit (Autodesk), and ETABS (CSI). 
In all processes, it is required confidence in data transferred between the BIM systems used, and to support this, a high level of interoperability is claimed. Structural design involves a set of tasks, namely, structure definition, structural analyses, and after the generation of drawings and technical documentation. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology considers the representation of the building as a virtual BIM model and its main concept is to centralize all the information generated throughout the development of the project.
