Building information management (bim) enablement platform of bim data model, data management services apis, restful apis for bim content and meta data hosting, format exchange, and workflow enablement

A method for end-to-end interoperability and workflows from building architecture design to one or more simulations, comprising:

• interacting with a data model via a user interface or an application programming interface or combinations of both integrated on a building information management enablement platform, wherein the data model comprises at least a user data entity, a user role data entity, a project data entity, an external information data entity, a format mapping data entity, an XML schema data entity, a none XML schema data entity, a model view definition template data entity and a repository data entity, the interacting comprising at least:
• creating a user data entity instance and populating one or more fields associated with the user data entity in the user data entity instance;
• creating a project data entity instance of the defined data model and populating one or more fields associated with the project data entity instance;
• adding external information data for simulation runs into an external information data entity instance;
• adding user role information to a user role data entity instance;
• creating one or more links to a file format and schema by populating a format mapping data entity instance and a schema data entity instance;
• creating a model view definition template data entity instance for translation of a building architecture design output format to a simulation input format, and populating the model view definition template data entity instance;
• creating an input file by populating a repository data entity instance to identify the input file and the model view definition template data entity instance;
• and
• running a simulation code associated with said one or more simulations with the data of the external information data entity instance and a transformed input file that is transformed using the populated model view definition template data entity instance.
