In the big data and artificial intelligence era, Saipem's new business model considers innovation an integral part of corporate culture. Having a large amount of information available, and above all being able to count on a great calculation capacity that can improve decision speed and managing complexity, is one of the principles that will make digital and big data analysis increasingly essential in the present and the future. In construction departments, talking about data means a clash with the complexity of data usability and management. This class will showcase how Forge enabled Saipem to aggregate big data from different sources (SmartPlant 3D, Tekla Structures, Oracle, Navisworks software) to analyze them (Microsoft Power BI) and to get an updated data set of information applying a full BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach. This class will describe the steps toward getting Power BI dashboard directly in Forge, approaching the system architecture necessary for this integration.

Creating animations in 3ds Max software is quick, easy, and fun. In this class, you will learn to animate the movement of daylight throughout a day to create an animated shadow study. This study will provide an accurate representation of how daylight will cast shadows in the scene. You will start by creating a Sun Positioner that provides realistic sunlight with a full sky environment. This system uses a simple and intuitive workflow to create geographically correct positioning and movement of the sun. You will then animate the position of the sun over time for a realistic shadow study.

Start your FormIt Pro model by assigning a location and importing a BIM context from InfraWorks software for 3D terrain, buildings, and roadways. Explore design options quickly and efficiently in FormIt Pro by integrating Dynamo graphs while controlling the graph through FormIt Pro software’s simple interface. Quantify and present design options by importing a FormIt Pro massing model into Revit software to quickly document space-planning and feasibility studies. Present real-time visualizations to clients by importing a more detailed FormIt Pro model into Revit for a walk-through, and continue to detail and document the design in Revit.

In this demo, we will walk through a simplified example of capturing real-time manufacturing data (cutting temperatures) from a hobby-class computer numerical control (CNC) router as it machines aluminum, visualizing that data on the visual model of the part being manufactured. Cutting tool and workpiece temperatures are direct indications of cutting efficiency and tool health. Mapping temperatures can help validate and suggest adjustments to feeds, speeds, and depth of cut to achieve the nominal chip load. While this is far from an industrial solution, this demo will show the power of IoT manufacturing within a simplified context to explore the utility and promise of cloud-based manufacturing solutions, built with Forge.

Micromachining is a notoriously demanding process that requires precision beyond levels that most machine shops are comfortable with. However, any shop can take on micromachining jobs with the right cutting tools, machines, accessories, and some knowledge on the differences between traditional machining and the nuances that micromachining brings with it. In this session, we will dive into strategies for successful micromachining, covering both micromilling and microturning applications. We will talk about cutting-tool selection and how it can differ from traditional machining standards, how miniature tooling reacts differently in the cut than larger tooling, and ways that you can take your machines to the next level with high-speed spindles and accessories.

"What if projects empowered facility owners with building intelligence that maximizes the value from design and construction, and seamlessly transitioned knowledge to operations and maintenance, to run the facility optimally from the first day? What if we integrated models, drawings, documents, facility performance and analytics data, and delivered such capability as a simple, contextualized user experience? The VueOPS team has consulted on BIM for FM implementations for large-scale healthcare, aviation, bio-pharmaceutical, and public agency owners. We are passionate about these outcomes. This class shares our journey to bridge current and emergent FM requirements for projects and develop an integrated FM platform that uses the Autodesk Forge platform in our quest to integrate information from documents, models, asset management, and building performance and analytics systems to create building knowledge for our customers."

BuildingSMART International describes itself as the industry body driving the digital transformation of the built-asset industry, committed to the creation and adoption of open standards and solutions for infrastructure and buildings. While the buildings sector has been relatively well served by buildingSMART’s Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standards for more than 10 years, the infrastructure industry has had limited support. A program of developments under the buildingSMART InfraRoom is preparing new schemas for roads, bridges, ports, and waterways and tunnels, with the RailRoom preparing a new schema for rail working on the harmonization of the common asset types, testing, and deployment project. Autodesk has supported the development of the new schemas that are scheduled for release in 2021. This presentation will highlight the InfraRoom projects, industry engagement activities, and some early concept implementations of schemas within Autodesk software.

This demo will show a real-life project scenario from start to finish. The project has massive amounts of data in 2D but clash detection was a major focus. The team put a workflow together using Civil 3D software, ArcGIS, Navisworks software, and the power of pipe networks to produce a very robust data set for the design teams to use. Assumed depth utilities present a dynamic problem in today's 3D world. Without proper as-built data, design standards, and construction documentation, this problem was a major hurdle for this team. The workflow they assembled enabled the consumer to easily determine the levels of accuracy, and individual pipes or networks could be updated in real time and displayed in a Navisworks federated model.

Do you use different standards? Do you misplace drawings? Do you still open drawings one at a time? Do you print drawings one at a time? Do you manually update the index sheet on a drawing package when a drawing name changes? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this class is for you. The Project Navigator in AutoCAD Architecture software is your ultimate document management tool.

Facility managers face numerous challenges that are driving them to demand a better turnover experience to reduce productivity losses and establish a digital platform for facility operations and management. This class will cover the range of turnover and post-construction services requested from owners and the need to turn design and construction Building Information Modeling (BIM) inside out to support their vision and goals. We share our journey with leading owners, and how the growing gap between Division 1 specifications and emergent owner requirements force rethinking project turnover to deliver integrated and contextualized information for facility management. The owner cases highlight successful BIM implementations based on alignment of technology with process redesign and organizational development to produce smart project outcomes. The owner cases include examples of solutions using Revit software, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, and other tools.

There are a variety of formats that the Forge viewer supports. The Model Derivative API enables translation of more than 60 different types of source file formats. Yet, there is one format ubiquitous in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry that does not find its place in the list—RFA. There could be various ways to visualize RFA files in the viewer; the most common is: conversion to a format that's supported by Forge, though it's not the fastest or most effective. In this class, we'll look at a workflow that can help developers optimize up to 90% of their Forge credits usage. Accomplishing this requires building a headless Revit plug-in using the Revit API, preparing it for the Design Automation API, processing the outputs using the Model Derivative API, and finally rendering individual Revit families in the viewer. We'll also look at how we can give end users the ability to switch between multiple family types, as well as access the Instance and Type parameters directly in the Forge Viewer.

Every construction project team needs the right tools to support key workflows, including QA/QC, safety, RFIs, and cost and progress. Today, teams use a number of different tools and techniques to execute them. The risks of using various applications and processes for these are poor information access, lack of connectivity and collaboration between the office and the field, and tools that are built for either field workers on mobile devices or office workers on laptops. The vision of Construction Cloud is to enable connectivity across the project, and this session will provide an update on the future product road map for field and project management capabilities.
