Elen - openBIM Checker is an IDS-Based Checking Tool that provides LOD-I validation for BIM models, Customized for Hong Kong. transforming the way buildings are designed, constructed, and operated.
Rheo is a plugin for Civil3D and Tekla Structure, that efficiently processes data, performs calculations to determine manhole type and dimensions, and automates drawing production.
Elen is a versatile software platform that accommodates diverse country-specific standards, making it a globally adaptable solution.
Absolutely! Users can define their own IDS, which we call a 'Marking Scheme' in layman's terms. If required, we can provide coaching services to guide you through the process of creating your IDS.*
*Please refer to the Elen price list (i.e. Standard version, Premium version).
Behind the scenes, the Elen compares the actual data in the BIM models with the required data specified in the IDS.
And the LOD-I Index is an easy-to-understand formula that is a fraction of "Total Correct Data" over "Total Required Data" and then multiplied by the required LOD-I number. (see image on the left)
In design stage, the target LOD-I index is 300 while the target LOD-I index is 500 in construction stage.
Often physical deliverables are easy to inspect and test whether they are complete and satisfactory to the client's requirements at handover (e.g. testing and commissioning of air conditioning systems).
However, it is not easy to ensure the digital deliverables, in particular BIM data, at handover. This is where Elen comes in.
It is an industry pain point that project owners / supervisors are aheache to manually verify thousands to millions of numbers of data in the as-built BIM model provided by contractors.
Whether all the data is up to standard, the common way is to go through a spot check of the as-built BIM model, but it's not error proof.

Yes, the system can output IFC files, which users can then import into clash detection software (e.g., Navisworks) to check for clashes between the exported model and the existing underground BIM model.
Civil 3D serves as the base for drainage network design and can provide longitudinal profile drawings, alignment drawings, and manhole schedules. However, if you require rebar details, Tekla Structures will be necessary. With Tekla Structures, users can also create general arrangement (GA) and reinforced concrete (RC) drawings.
Yes, Rheo supports all drainage and sewage design in accordance with the DSD Sewerage Design Manual, which is tailored to meet the current standards of the Hong Kong market. This ensures that designs are compliant and optimized for local regulations.
