Overview

An iModel is a container for rich, multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a certain point in time. Each iModel is:

• A published version of this information, provided as a secure, read-only file.
• Portable, combining all information into a single container for easy distribution.
• Self-describing, because you can view the design without having the application with which it was created.
• A semantically rich data file that contains the related business information from the design applications, as well as the graphics.
• An interoperable deliverable tailored for change management.
• Used for information exchange throughout all phases of a project’s life cycle.
