  • Construction product modelling
    Patent number: 10628534
    Abstract: A method for updating a computer aided design model of a building is disclosed. The model of the building may include at least one barrier and at least one penetrating item. A barrier may have fire resistance properties and include a passage to accommodate passage of a penetrating item, with firestop product information to maintain the fire resistance properties of the barrier. The method may be carried out by defining a universe of one or more barriers that have fire resistance properties; analyzing a computer aided design model of a building to identify an intersection of a penetrating item and a barrier that is within the defined universe; analyzing the computer aided design model of the building for fire resistance properties corresponding to the barrier.
