SEPS has about 2,100 pieces of medical equipment that are maintained in the online MILSTD 1691 database. All of these are available as BIM and about 900 of them are available as BIM with a generic geometry that depicts the medical equipment and can be used for planning and design .
Objects aligned with the MILSTD 1691 Medical Equipment database are available in multiple formats. These objects are used to populate the BIM Space Templates. They are also used to automatically create BIM Templates and projects from SEPS BIM Excel Exports and through the BIM Space & Equipment aggregator tools.
BIM Objects aligned with the MILSTD 1691 are built to a “Level of Development” LOD to support SEPS. The intent is to have LOD sufficient to convey the owners requirements for a medical equipment and to be able to use it for planning of a space.
The MILSTD 1691 Database is hosted on MAX.gov and provides real time access and authoritative source data for over 2,100 piece of medical equipment used by SEPS. The database is used as the source of information to drive the creation of BIM Objects and the automatic generation of BIM LOD 150 Objects. The medical equipment data in MILSTD 1691 is intended to convey “generic” non manufacturer specific information and includes data such as the bounding box size: height, width, depth, and other information.
