Revit, Revit, and more Revit. Is Revit software all you’re hearing about? Even if that is not the case, you are going to want to attend this class and see what all the hype is about. Does your BIM department have access to the Revit files for the projects they’re working on? Do you have access to the Revit files before bid time? In this class, we will demonstrate some of your options to identify potential design-to-fabrication issues in Revit. We will also look at your options to streamline the conversion pipe accessories in the design-to-fabrication process. Once the conversion from design to fabrication has been done, we will look at running Fabrication reports in Revit. Finally, we will export out a .MAJ file and review it in Fabrication ESTmep software to verify pricing and labor.

This session is the hands-on lab compliment of the lecture of the same name. While beneficial on it's own, this session will be enhanced greatly by attending the lecture beforehand. Administering your Fabrication CADmep, Fabrication CAMduct, Fabrication ESTmep, or Revit Fabrication database can be difficult. Even when not difficult, it can be cumbersome and time consuming. This session will cover a number of ways to accomplish a variety of things many don't know how to do at all, or how to do quickly. With multiple locations and databases, learn many of the tricks the speaker learned while managing multiple systems and migrating them into a more-centralized single database model. From back-end IT infrastructure to database management processes and best practices, learn what works and what doesn't when managing a variety of tasks.

The intent of this session is to show best practices to implement in your Revit template when dealing with MEP Fabrication projects. These recommendations will help provide better control of your experience with Revit Fabrication Parts during the detailing, documenting, and fabrication phases. Users coming from Fabrication CADmep software and Fabrication ESTmep software will see familiar outputs with these Revit template techniques. You’ll be able to better identify what has been sent out to fabricate and use a better QC process. Not only will there be typical graphical advantages, but also documentation capabilities will be enhanced. We’ll talk about how to best approach projects providing all AutoCAD backgrounds versus Revit backgrounds, all while still utilizing your custom Revit template.

Construction teams are faced with numerous challenges and are under immense pressure to meet project budgets. Learn how teams streamline workflows, connect data, and maximize project insights to deliver complex projects while driving project profitability.

This session will be fast paced, so we'll have no time for questions, but we'll gladly follow up with all attendees after Autodesk University to address any questions.

Simulation lets designers test (simulate) their designs before reaching the manufacturing process. This enables iterative changes without the time and money (and potential waste) that can go into making a product only to find it doesn't meet the standards needed. The Simulation workspace in Fusion 360 software can feel a little intimidating at first glance—with so many options to choose from. This class will take you through the basic steps of a static stress simulation, showing you how to set up a simulation in detail, what all the options are for, and how the results can be analyzed and used to influence future design decisions. You will leave this class feeling more confident and ready to improve your whole design process!

This class will cover all aspects of the ductwork pressure-class specification setting used by Fabrication CAMduct software, Fabrication CADmep software, and Fabrication ESTmep software. We will cover all aspects of how to create and understand the components and related ancillaries linked to shop-fabrication standards as defined in the Fabrication software database setting. Because the database is integrated with estimating and detailing, we will also show which setting in Fabrication CAMduct software will affect the Fabrication ESTmep cost and the Fabrication CADmep graphics. We will also examine effective practices for setting up duct fittings and straight lengths for reinforcement through stiffiners (internal, external, or both) on order to comply with SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association) and DW/144 specifications guidelines. Finally, we will cover the duct connector settings on the round, rectangular, and oval patterns, and we'll discuss the relationships between the duct patterns' dimensions and computer numerical control (CNC) notch profiles as defined in the Fabrication CAMduct software database.

This class will be an introduction to Generative Design in Fusion 360 software for people who are just getting started with the tool. Generative Design in Fusion 360 is a set of tools that enables you to set the criteria for the part that you want to design by setting up connection, boundaries, materials, and loads to say how you want it to react. You then upload the information to the server, and it will return results and options for how the part can look, weigh, and react to the loads applied. When you find one that works for you, you can download it and modify it or use it in an assembly. So, let’s go back to the basics and start using Generative Design in Fusion 360.

Learn how to manage content for Autodesk, Inc.’s, Fabrication Solutions from a database manager’s point of view. We will dive into how to apply fitting dimensions to product-listed information for accurate dimensional content and apply connectors. Then learn how to apply estimating information for reporting of information to be used for ordering, estimating, and job tracking.

Project Notre Dame arose as the spontaneous response of a group of BIM (Building Information Modeling) enthusiasts with a fascination for old buildings. Digital tools extend our ability to think about the world: where we’ve come from and where we’re going. Why should we restrict the use of BIM to the narrow confines of our day jobs? Crowd-sourced "learning by doing" has the potential to combine Wikipedia and Google Earth 3D to create a new kind of online museum experience. This case study describes the work of a global team of volunteers taking a deep dive into an 800-year-old building laden with cultural meaning, each one pursuing their interests and passions. How did they communicate? What did they discover? Come to the session and find out.

With the introduction of Inventor Nesting software in Inventor 2019 software, Autodesk made yet another inroad into one of CAD’s many niche markets. But what place does Inventor Nesting fill, and how is it best used? Can it replace a dedicated nesting package? What kinds of source geometry can be used with Inventor Nesting? Does it have a place even if a full-featured nesting package is already in use? In addition to a dive into the setup and basic operation of Inventor Nesting software, we’ll answer these questions. Come find out what Inventor Nesting can do for you!

Learn 60 all-new tips and tricks that are expanded to cover not only Fabrication CADmep software but the other Fabrication software products too. No frills, no long lectures—just a couple Fabrication software users in a tag-team style rapid-fire demonstration. In 60 minutes we’ll cover 60 tips for using Fabrication software, so we'll take no questions during the session, but we’ll be free afterward and via email throughout the year for any follow-up information you may need.

Fusion 360 software is not like other CAD tools when it comes to positioning components in an assembly. There are no mates here. Fusion 360 has a different model for putting components together. It uses Joints to both position components and describe their motion. This class will help you to make sense of Joints in Fusion 360. Starting with the foundational concepts of assembly, degrees of freedom, positioning, and motion, we will progress into the deeper topics of flexible subassemblies, the behavior of grounded components, and so on. We will describe the various joint types that can be used in your model, and scenarios where they are applicable. We will attempt to demystify assembly modeling in Fusion 360. Virtually sit down (or stand up—it's up to you!) with two Fusion 360 modeling experts and senior members of the Fusion 360 development team. The topics and workflows we will discuss come directly from Fusion 360 customers just like you.

In this session, you’ll get a look at how Generative Design in Fusion 360 software can help you improve the way you design and make engineering decisions. We will review the development progress we made throughout the year, and highlight why those features were key to improving how users can find success with generative design. We'll also look into the future at how we’ll be expanding the types of problems that can easily be solved with Generative Design in Fusion 360.
