In this class, we will briefly look at the client-side workflow of Autodesk Data Exchange, and then we'll look at the tools made available to developers to help them tap into that workflow. The tools made available by the Autodesk Data Exchange team vary based on complexity, allowing you to either just access the granular data in exchanges, or go beyond that and build your own connectors that will allow custom workflows to read and write data into exchange context.

The productivity of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) is going down. Other industries' productivity arrows are pointed up, but ours is not. After 25 years of building information modeling (BIM), one would think it would be different. But it's not. There are probably thousands of reasons for that, and we would never imagine knowing a fraction of them. But we think one of the reasons, however small it is, has to do with how we work with Information today. Other industries are implementing artificial intelligence (AI) at scale. The AEC industry cannot. This inspiring talk will explore why not, will look at what we can do about it, and will provide a few examples that show we are on the right path.

When describing a concrete structural model in Revit, the model contains elements used in constructional projects and exported to Graitec Advance Design solution to apply loads and perform structural finite element analysis. The export process will take care of the required properties of elements such as material, sections, and geometry. Using the powerful mesh engine and finite element solver of Graitec Advance Design, the internal forces will be calculated based on the applied loads. Then the required area of reinforcement in elements will be calculated, considering the concrete design code and localization. Next, the model will be exported back to Revit. Graitec GTCX format can also transfer internal forces and rebar areas to Revit using the Powerpack tool. Based on the calculated forces and steel area, we will present how to perform 3D rebar placement in Revit for several structural elements. The process of model synchronization between Revit and Advance Design will also be covered.

Brazil has undergone significant legislative changes in recent years and has the bold, yet necessary, goal to universalize water and sewage services by 2033. That challenge has driven building information modeling (BIM) implementation in sanitation companies, which encouraged the Brazilian company SANEAGO to use and customize Autodesk Docs and the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection tools for its context. Similar to other sanitation concessionaires, SANEAGO currently deals with large project volume, developed by several different design companies, for the 226 municipalities it operates. This makes document management, standardization, collaboration, project analysis, and project design quite challenging. In this talk, we'll discuss the CAD-BIM transition, covering not only software usage, but also company diagnosis, policies, and project standards establishment, which involves changes in the design processes and in the organizational culture as a whole, in order to raise BIM maturity within the company and its entire ecosystem.
