Organizations around the world have been tasked with reshaping facilities and operations to enable social distancing since the outbreak of COVID-19. To support the design team, building owners, and facilities managers, we are committed to developing new tools in Revit software and showing how they can be used in practice with other simulation tools. This session will combine demonstrations of the latest tools in Revit with good practices learned from collaboration with industrial partners to ensure that buildings will have the capacity to support social distancing and maximize life safety. Subjects that we’ll cover include design principles (core parameters, route planning, design pitfalls) and sample use cases (office, retail, school). We’ll lay out the core principles of design and demonstrate their application with Revit (and people-movement simulation software) in the context of real-world design challenges.

Fusion Simulation software offers a rich set of analysis types to simulate real-world problems. Whether it’s simple static stress, optimizing a shape to reduce weight, or simulating a bird hitting an airplane, it’s all there. One of the biggest challenges is setting up the simulation properly so the results are reasonable. Interpretation of results to selecting the best alternative for manufacturing is another challenge. While demystifying simulation with tips and tricks from community forums, we will also highlight the pitfalls one needs to avoid. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are key to mastering simulation tools.

Many may think that one should separate Navisworks software and BIM 360 Model Coordination on a project by choosing one or the other for clash modeling. This could not be further from the truth. This class will highlight case studies of recent Tetra Tech projects that have resulted in a greater than 50% drop in average time spent at the end of projects for disciplines resolving clashes by using BIM 360 Model Coordination and Navisworks. Attendees will learn how to easily start working within BIM 360 Model Coordination, which will enable an earlier start to clash coordination in the project’s design cycle before running a more comprehensive clash analysis using Navisworks. This class will also provide tips, tricks, and innovative processes for working on projects in BIM 360 to easily set up the BIM 360 Model Coordination service, and we’ll cover the new features added in 2021 for bringing these results into Navisworks.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is often put in the position to create engineering designs for several utility-related workflows. This design and engineering work is often done using Civil 3D software and is delivered as a stand-alone project via a set of design drawings. In many instances, the utility owner\operator takes that as-built data and drops it on a file server never to be seen again until it is needed. This transactional approach creates technical debt that places a burden on the utility and threatens the overall sustainability of the process. This instructional demo will work through a new way of supporting a sustainable collaboration and delivery model that aligns with the way of working preferred by owners and operators. Through the Autodesk \ Esri Alliance Partnership, we will illustrate some existing new methods to unlock the full value of a Civil 3D design drawing to populate and append an Esri ArcGIS Utility Network model that will support future design and engineering work in a sustainable manner.

Learn how clients such as Yokogawa Corporation of America and other firms have used the cloud to drive ROI and accuracy. In this presentation, you’ll learn how modern cloud technologies use systems such as Microsoft SharePoint and BIM 360 Docs software for powerful solutions around automated security, governance, document control, and reporting. The challenge is bringing all those data points together in a single process that’s easy for end users to engage with. With platforms such as SharePoint Office 365 and Microsoft OneDrive now supporting CAD drawings and DWG™ files, and the powerful BIM 360 Docs and a host of systems all moving to the cloud, there are real choices for the AEC to take advantage of the incredible value of the digital transformation of the enterprise that the cloud represents.

Spring of 2020 was an interesting and stressful period for many professions. Teaching was no exception. Faculty at Ivy Tech Community College had one week to transition courses from in-person to entirely virtual. The use of Fusion 360 software made this possible. DESN 195 (Manufacturing Principles and Design) is a course that takes students through various aspects of manufacturing. Course objectives include: learning about workplace safety, creating G-code, using metrology tools, discussing lean principles, and developing a facility layout. Students typically take this course during their first year. In this class, we will journey through DESN 195 during Spring 2020. See how Fusion 360 lets people smoothly transition from in-person to virtual, even when creating computer numerical control (CNC) programs. During this class session, we will cover examples of what worked well, what did not, and what people in education and industry can learn from this experience.

The software industry has changed quite a lot recently; Autodesk is heavily investing in porting their most important packages to be accessible in the cloud. Revit software, for instance, can run as a part of the Forge platform. Microsoft is investing tremendously in its Dotnet platform development (which was rewritten from scratch to be open source and modular). When dealing with Revit API development, however, we often see monolithic apps that directly couple modules and components like the UI layer to gather input, introducing several technical challenges. Trying to manage and scale this type of codebase is frustrating and time consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this lab, you will discover a free and open-source framework that helps you quickly prototype Revit applications, while providing you with an easy way to develop modular code that can be portable to multiforms of Revit environments, like add-ins, Dynamo, and even the Forge Design Automation API.

Construction is a relationship-based industry where deals are still closed with handshakes. But in this new competitive world, with limited labor and a growing demand for construction, owners and contractors need a faster way to make connections with the right talent for the right project. Static contact databases and outdated bid-management tools perpetuate disjointed business results, leaving contractors constantly defending their costs and schedules and aggregating potential risk before breaking ground. In this session, you’ll learn how BuildingConnected helps builders discover, invite, and choose the right talent for any type of project while managing their bidding processes from start to finish. You’ll also learn how emerging markets are benefiting from this crowdsourced technology to remain competitive with their clients.

By the end of this class, you will have an understanding of how AutoCAD products can take advantage of all the capabilities of the workstation platform in a desktop environment. In addition, you will learn how AutoCAD LT® software can let users be more nimble and help with collaboration and synchronization of drawings while on the go on a tablet with Intel Core® technology. The AutoCAD® 360 mobile app can further simplify sharing by providing integration between the office and the field, enabling anytime, anywhere access with a compute continuum offering from Intel.

BIM and terrestrial laser scanning have been well received within construction for the unparalleled accuracy delivered during the planning and development process. For VDC and BIM managers, the ability to accurately plan projects to scale, time and budget is just one of many benefits. Having the ability to compare the scanned as-built to BIM models doesn’t only prove its worth in the initial planning stages of a build, but also in quality assurance throughout a project’s lifespan. Cintoo has embedded its unique point cloud-to-mesh technology into Cintoo Cloud, a platform connected to BIM 360, to allow this QA/QC workflow. Learn from current Cintoo Cloud and BIM 360 users who has been successfully using this collaborative workflow on various jobs recently for a more efficient project coordination. Learn how Cintoo Cloud can also provide access to laser scan data in mesh or point cloud format to team members at home or at the office for efficient Scan & BIM modeling or clash detection.

In this instructional demo, we’ll show how Fusion 360 Electronics software can be maximized with Fusion 360 strong modeling tools to produce a distortion-effect pedal end to end.
