BIM at Autodesk University: A Sneak Peek

Connectivity is a hallmark of building information modeling (BIM). After all, the point of using a BIM workflow is to get the information out where everyone on a team can access it—which doesn’t work without a connected common data environment.

However, making information accessible isn’t always as easy as it sounds. International teams, time zone challenges and disconnected construction sites can make connectivity a tricky endeavor, indeed.

We’ve seen several advancements in connectivity and communication this year, but 2016 isn’t done with us yet. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll be learning next week at Autodesk University (AU).

 

An Insight into Design

What’s a project without insights?

At AU, Autodesk will be demonstrating various methods for capturing, creating and computing huge amounts of data for BIM projects. It will also be sharing methods for evaluating effective alternatives using design insights, including the use of generative design tools such as Project Fractal from Autodesk Labs.

These tools can help teams develop a wide variety of designs and analyze them for various criteria in a relatively short amount of time. Have a look:

Other key technologies will include the cloud and mobility, as well as virtual and augmented reality.

Delivering Projects

We will also see some of the efforts that Autodesk has been putting into the development of a smooth delivery process at AU. Attendees will learn how technologies such as sensors,…
