ECOFACT is a €12 million Horizon 2020 project aimed at developing an ECO-innovative energy FACTory management platform for four demo sites: Arçelik (white goods industry), Athenian Brewery (Heineken brewing company), Gullón (biscuit factory) and Tofaş (a body painting plant of Stellantis vehicles). This platform features a dashboard that includes an LCA/LCCA module based on SimaPro and an Energy and Resource Management System (ERMS) built on Autodesk Platform Services. The ERMS consists of a Digital Twin Platform (DTP) that combines industrial digital twin models of production lines and machines with simulation and optimization tools into a single web environment. Using an advanced IIoT infrastructure, each digital twin streams real-time field data to ensure user-friendly monitoring. Managers and operators can run simulation and optimization applications integrated into the DTP for improved factory management in terms of energy, resources, and costs.

It all began with a simple Dynamo script displaying a popup window to users with some useful information about the document. As the script development advanced, we transitioned to a Revit macro. The tool grew and even more features were added to assist users in managing their model's quality. Eventually, our team reached a point where the macro wasn't practical enough. That's when we created an installable C# add-in, turning the former model health check into a comprehensive wizard with an Autosolve function. Now, many common errors are automatically resolved when Revit starts or syncs, leaving only more complex issues for users to review. Dedicated windows within the tool have been designed to help users evaluate logical errors, such as area analysis. The wizards toolkit is complemented by a robust automatic classification function. This course guides you through our development journey, unveiling the wizard button's magical potential and the insights gained along the way.

The goal of this presentation is to help Revit users who are looking to use code to improve their workflows. Revit API might sound impossible to learn, but it's not that complicated if you follow the right road map. The speaker has created hundreds of Revit add-ins, made about 100 video tutorials on Revit API, and taught hundreds if not thousands of people how to do the same. And this presentation will show you where you should start and which basics you should focus on. This will be a great brief introduction to Revit API basics, and will demonstrate how to apply it to create a custom Revit add-in.

Keeping your projects on schedule, addressing issues promptly, and staying within budget is a significant challenge. This session will explore our strategies and tools for effectively achieving these project goals—from the design phase to field installation.

In the design process of highway projects, applying building information modeling (BIM) technology, using parametric design methods, and delivering complete project models is a challenging task. During the design process, issues such as efficient design workflow, data exchange, model segmentation, WBS info, and digital delivery need to be addressed. With parametric design tools like Dynamo software, engineers can automatically create models and complete property assignments based on project requirements, significantly reducing repetitive work and allowing them to focus more on the design itself. This case study will show you the complete parametric design workflow and data exchange for this highway expansion project, with a focus on parametric modeling using Dynamo and Python. Through parametric modeling via programming, stakeholders can achieve efficiency gains of two to three times compared to manual modeling methods for roadbeds, pavements, bridges, and tunnels.

Bridge construction in Norway in 2024 is a different ballgame than it was in 2015. We've transitioned to full digital design and construction without drawings. This would have been impossible without a rich Revit API. We've created our own add-in, scaling from 10 users in 2019 to 1,300 users in 2024. What a success! But the challenge has not been object-oriented coding in C#, but rather scaling the knowledge. How can we scale technology efficiently and fast? What are the obstacles? Do all bridge engineers need to understand back end, front end, and UX? We'll show you how to ensure a transition from 2D to building information modeling (BIM) by combining piloting in Dynamo, coding in C#, and teaching. Our clients now receive top-quality models with consistent data. How does this help them? Finally, we'll round off with reflections on how AI is transforming our design process and concerns for a sustainable future. Can we use AI to assist in scaling technology? Let's explore together.

Advanced nuclear is challenged to design and construct on short timelines, with smaller budgets and fewer workers. Digitalization can help companies overcome these constraints. Unfortunately, a digital twin (DT) is often presented as a monolith. This results in organizations abandoning DTs as having benefits that are minimal or unrealized in time. Many perceive DTs as too large an undertaking to even begin. However, digitalization isn't a track meet; it's a marathon of incremental milestones. And, like all races, it has a starting line. This session will summarize a journey that Argonne National Laboratory and Implexus Lab made to digitize the Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL), a test facility for advancing sodium fast reactors. Components were designed with Inventor software and assembled in Navisworks software, and AutoCAD software generated construction documents. Integrating with Revit provided a DT foundation. Ultimately, the suite of Autodesk tools enabled the creation of a DT boasting live data visualization within a virtual reality (VR) environment.
