An OMNeT++ Open-Source BIM-based Plug-In for Automatic Environment Generation
BOMNET takes IFC files as input and generates two files for environment configuration: omnet.ini
and environment.xml
. The former contains the global simulation configuration, while the latter includes all 3D objects from the BIM along with their associated materials. If material information is unavailable in the Digital Twin, BOMNET infers materials based on the BIM structure.
BOMNET directly modifies INET architecture and files for environment generation, but does not impact normal utilization.
Supervised by Professor Abderrezak Rachedi, PhD canditates Aurélien Chambon and Clément Dutriez with the help of Master degree students Abderrahmane Melek, Khalifa Serraye, Mohammed Menacer and Louis Thidet, created BOMNET in 2024 as a M2-SSIO project in Université Gustave Eiffel, France.
The project is available on GitHub for download, installation and contribution under MIT License.
BOMNET relies on OMNET++ 6, INET4.5 and Python. It requires them all installed with the addition of the Python library ifcopenshell, numpy and shapely within OMNeT++ environment. Use the following command:
cd OMNET_PATH
source setenv
pip install numpy ifcopenshell shapely
