The Power of Autodesk BIM

New trends are driving the AEC industry, driving new opportunities and changing entrenched practices.

There is demand in the AEC industry to significantly improve efficiency in project delivery. The building and construction process today must, through better integration of information and process optimization, achieve levels of coordination far in excess of the current norm.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) holds the promise for the building industry to achieve significant improvements and reduce waste through simulating the building process in a virtual environment – build virtually before it’s built in the field.

Autodesk announced the release of the latest version of AutoCAD® 2014, and it continues with the AutoCAD 2013 .dwg file type and format.

AutoCAD 2014 is supported on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems. No official support from Autodesk will be given for Windows Vista.

Below, we look at one of the new features in AutoCAD 2014 - File Tabs

File Tabs assist in file navigation and creation.

Click on a tab to access a particular already opened file, or right-click on a tab to open, save, or close a file(s). You can start a new file or open one by clicking the Plus Sign on the right of the tabs.

Revit 2014 - Displaced Elements

revit 2014 displaced elements

Displaced building design view in Autodesk Revit.

 

Architects, MEP and structural engineers, and contractors can create exploded views of any 3D view, including perspectives.

Exploded views can be used to illustrate the relationship model elements have to the model as a whole. This information can be used in construction documents to show design intent . In any 3D view (including perspective), model elements can be moved by using the Displace Elements tool. You use this tool to create displacement sets and move them along their X, Y, and Z axes to a specified distance away from the model. Then, you can draw paths  that connect these elements back to their original model location.

 In Summary:  Visualize the building elements and how they are connected with the ability to create "exploded" 3D diagrams views.

Revit 2014 - Building Element Energy Analysis

revit 2014 building-element-analysis

Speed building performance analysis in Revit.

 

Now in addition to energy analysis of conceptual massing elements, in Revit 2014 you can perform energy analysis using detailed Revit models. The building elements simulation option creates an Energy Analytical Model directly from your Revit building elements and sends it to Autodesk Green Building Studio for simulation using DOE2.2. Once the analysis is complete, you can review and compare results as you continue to iterate the model and inform your design decisions. 

This innovative new algorithm automatically identifies and places analytical spaces and surfaces and creates gbXML.

 This new feature works both with and without the placement of Revit room / space objects - thereby facilitating whole building energy simulation with (as little as) "one click".  The tool also accounts for more complex model geometry like sloped walls, varying wall thickness and plenum spaces.  There is no need to prepare the model for analysis or rebuild a separate model.

  In Summary:  You can conduct more reliable, repeatable whole building energy analysis with less time and skill.
