    Description

    This class will cover the use of Inventor software tools for the simplification of both native and non-native vendor equipment models in order to minimize file sizes in large process-facility Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects. We will also discuss the pros and cons of using the BIM Exchange app inside Inventor software to export models for use in AutoCAD Plant 3D software.

    Key Learnings

    • Understand concepts for simplifying native and non-native models in Inventor software
    • Learn how to add nozzles and manufacturing information to models using BIM Exchange in Inventor software
    • Learn how to convert equipment and add nozzles inside AutoCAD Plant 3D software
    • Learn how to effectively use Autodesk tools to minimize file size and optimize performance for large-scale process manufacturing projects
