Over the last 20 years, building information modeling (BIM) has changed how our industry operates and interacts through all phases of design and construction. While our industry has taken steps forward by implementing BIM, there are still many inefficient processes and still many steps to take to continue to evolve how our industry works together and uses technology. The design industry has vastly changed through use of software like Revit. While creating efficiencies, it has also created gaps. Drawing notes such as "field verify,” "GC to verify,” and "See XYZ Drawing" still limit the coordination of documents from the design process. Contractors' use of BIM has also continued to evolve and expectations have changed. The challenge of "design intent" versus "means and methods,” which existed long before 3D modeling software, is more relevant in the world of BIM. Do contracts help or hurt us? How can we as an industry change this?

In this class, we'll demonstrate a project that uses Automated Modeling to design a conceptual part. We'll then take that concept and refine it to become a functional, manufacturable part using Generative Design.

Construction 4.0 is emerging: Technology is now available at low cost, disruption is everywhere, and digital transformation has replaced digitization. Across architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO), the most innovative companies don't only play defense, they also play offense to strengthen their competitive advantages. They launch major strategic digital transformation initiatives, and are looking for new partnerships with technology companies like Autodesk. With trust, credibility, vision, technology, and competency, Autodesk is in a unique position to offer its clients all the possibilities of digital transformation: inspire change, formulate strategies, and develop business value. In this session, we will explain what leading AECO firms do to transform their businesses and ultimately reinvent themselves. The class will contain three to five customer cases, with customer speakers from across AECO and geos. We will place a focus on the business outcomes for these customers, on what was achieved, and on the sustainability aspect.

Four years ago, a major fire broke out in Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. The French government has given the rebuild five years. To meet the key outcomes around schedule, health, and safety, the project has coordinated the daily presence of various types of workers specialized in restoration activities (archaeologists, carpenters, stone cutters, and so on). This class will focus on how Setec Opency (specializing in construction management) has digitized the execution planning process using 4D building information modeling (BIM) and digital technology, integrating the work sequencing and the opportunity of planning optimization, while minimizing the risk of accidents. Setec Opency will show how it has taken into account multiple constraints: tight deadlines, the configuration of a historical building (large volume, 4,800 square meters, great height), 120 subcontractors, and 400 workers over nine construction phases costing hundreds of millions of euros. See how bringing 4D to the field with VR/XR will help the renaissance of an 800-year-old legacy.

This session will present an integrated digital workflow that creates alternatives by automatically reviewing the risk of traffic accidents, earthwork volume, and design standards using a digital design model of roads when performing linear improvement on roads with high volumes of traffic accidents. This technology implemented the digital design procedure of the road with Dynamo and Python, based on Civil 3D software. In addition, the traffic accident risk index of the road section was reflected in the algorithm. In particular, the road design standards were digitized based on XML and reflected as evaluation models in creating alternatives. Through this process, the digital alignment of the road that minimizes the occurrence of traffic accidents is optimized within Civil 3D, and a digital road model is created that presents multiple alternatives by collectively reviewing the calculation of earthworks and whether the road design standards are satisfied.

This session will be a presentation of structural cast-in-place concrete modeling with Revit software. It will include a short description of how design documentation is taken and built into a "constructable” concrete model in Revit, as well as showing the steps taken to make the model "field friendly." You will see how the model is transported into a field layout tool from Leica Geosystems to be used as a 3D layout tool, minimizing the need for annotated line drawings and PDFs. Come and see Baker Concrete Construction, Inc. (BCCI) and Leica Geosystems present how two industry partners go about providing BIM-to-field integration of concrete construction.

In this session, we'll take a look at Alias 2024 software—a new modern Alias for a new world showing innovative modeling and discoverability for a new age.

With growing pressure from consumers and governments, sustainability is no longer a nice to have. As the design phase locks in 80% of environmental impacts, it is crucial to integrate sustainability into the product development process. This session will highlight the importance of eco-design in reducing the overall environmental impact of products and services, and how to apply these principles in Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Premier Tech performed a lifecycle analysis to compare the ecological footprint of the Ecoflo system, an on-site wastewater treatment system, and began applying eco-design principles in a holistic approach to its redesign. The new Ecoflo design is modular, made with recycled content, and supports the circular economy. This session will present how eco-design was integrated into the development of the new Ecoflo product, and how Autodesk tools like Fusion 360 and the Makersite plug-in were maximized to deliver long-lasting positive impacts.

If you're interested in faster and more effective project validation, this class will help you discover how Anas has improved its performance by adopting building information modeling (BIM) design and checking/validation processes for the case study of the new road "SS 340 Tremezzina” in the north-west of Italy's Lake Como. We'll explore the main challenges and benefits obtained by implementing digital processes to manage the design and validation phases within the Italian public contracting authority (Anas), using Revit, Civil 3D, and InfraWorks software for design and Navisworks software for checking/validation via the interoperable Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format. Finally, we will present the potential applications planned for the construction stage, with the aim of speeding up the contractor's inspection and payment activities, and for the operations and maintenance stage, with the aim of improving the quality of operations using the digital twin.

This session will involve business leaders overviewing the SMART Modular Technologies digital transformation journey.

Asset management using machine-readable and harmonized information will be critical in the future. Several development projects are underway in the field both internationally and nationally regarding the standardization of information. As buildingSMART describes it, "An Information Delivery Specification (IDS) is a computer-interpretable document that defines the Exchange Requirements of model-based exchange. This can be a combination of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), Domain Extensions, and additional classifications and properties [either stored in buildingSMART Data Dictionary (bSDD) or somewhere else]. It holds the ability to create localized and use-case-specific requirements for your projects. The IDS is the missing link for predictable and reliable data exchange workflows.” This session will present a use case and demo of a bSDD add-on for Civil 3D software. The add-on was developed by Ramboll and is part of computational design development strategy. The objective is to use data content effectively during the entire lifecycle of the object.

The construction industry is known to be slow to change, which can make it challenging to implement new initiatives such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). It is often difficult to move beyond the "why" of DEI in the construction industry, and many conversations fail to address the practical "how" of implementing DEI. How can we start a new program that actually works? What resources are available? Asking these questions is a start, but the most important part is to put them into action. This panel will contain leaders from small and large companies within the construction industry who have had a DEI program in place for more than five years. They will pull back the curtain to discuss the challenges of implementing the program and keeping it relevant in an ever-changing market, and they'll share how DEI has changed their organizations.
