Approximately 200 billion cubic meters of gas are flared or vented globally each year, of which the United States is a significant contributor. Obantarla’s mission is to mitigate methane and CO2 emissions by replacing flares with systems that produce economically viable, low-carbon chemical products. At scale, Obantarla’s chemical processing technology will significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption from the domestic, upstream oil and gas sector. Obantarla is a rapidly growing small group of engineers from diverse backgrounds which also draws on industry partners to help design and specify parts of its chemical reactor. Obantarla has greatly benefitted from using Vault to manage CAD files and drawings, as well as requirement documents, during its startup phase and subsequent expansion. Furthermore, the generative design tools available in Fusion 360 has allowed for rapid design iterations of complex custom parts for additive manufacturing.

We will generate a sustainability report on the civil design and show how carbon intensity can be built into a public procurement. There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end.

This class is all about defining a common way to exchange data between different authoring tools. In the era of big data and with the increased complexity of projects, how can we ensure that the transfer of design data is consistent and with no data loss? There are way many attempts to come up with a common strategy for the industry, the reality is that usually none of them is what we are looking for. Let’s have a look together at what is already available (Speckle, BHoM, etc.), maybe is already what you need, and come up with some semantic strategy to define the language that works for your company (or that has worked for AECOM). We will finish up with some best practice on how then create add-ins, Dynamo custom nodes, and repositories to support the data exchange and how to use the power of Autodesk Design Automation to create data driven models in a click!

Are you a CAD Administrator/CAD Manager? Are you wanting to be a CAD Admin/Manager? This round table class will discuss the pros & cons of being in this position. We'll discuss how to deal with being the "go to" person for all things CAD. How the only time you get attention is typically when something within your CAD department has gone awry and how to minimize those instances. This is your CAD Admin support group. Let's discuss issues you've run into and how you resolved such, helping your fellow CAD Admin avoid the same.

BIM for new buildings is easy—you get to start from scratch and lay out everything precisely where it’s supposed to be. But what if you’re doing an addition, a renovation, or a historic preservation project? Maybe you have existing drawings. (Maybe they’re accurate!) Maybe you have some reality capture data. But most of what is important to a structural engineer is probably hidden behind an existing façade or finish. And yet the model must go on. Join this roundtable discussion to share your Existing BIM successes and challenges with other professionals. Come prepared to share strategies and brainstorm solutions with your peers and fellow experts!

Now is the time to discuss and define BIM/VDC hard and soft costs in terms of capital spending (CAPEX), Operational Spend (OPEX) and whole life-cycle, total expenditure (TOTEX). How we budget for BIM within our organizations and on our projects is challenging and confusing and business value needs to be defined to further technology integration and advancement. Its not the technology that is holding us back, it is the procurement of that technology. Creating a BIM Procurement and Budgeting Plan that address short- and long-term value for both users and viewers along the supply chain and at different phases of the project, will optimize the usage of BIM, while increasing return on investment. Join this roundtable discussion to get your questions answered and to hear how others are addressing BIM Procurement and Budgeting issues and how they are getting clients and their companies to invest in AEC technology.

As Industrialized Construction, Prefabrication and Modular Construction start to gain traction, how will this change the way companies work? How will traditional personas need to evolve, what new personas will be required, and what tools will they use? For instance, who is responsible for designing a “building system” and who consumes these systems when designing a building? Is this a new class of builders or is this just new means and methods applied to Construction? How can we create a more connected digital workflow that allows stakeholders to work across many levels of complexity, but not burden each user with knowing all tools and all details?

Do you want to learn how assemblies with lots of moving parts behave when they undergo a high speed impact (aka crash) ? Autodesk's powerful explicit solver is the tool for you. The solver allows you to investigate real-world crashes. You will see a bus crashing into a road barrier, and the collapse of a concrete block on a construction crane. You will discover how it works under the hood based on these two real accidents. Learn how large models crash and deform in real life and how to choose the correct values for many parameters. Event simulation is available in Fusion 360 and Inventor Nastran. Both uses new solvers: ED (explicit dynamic) and QS (quasi static). It is possible to verify one design in different Autodesk software thanks to their cloud collaboration. The session will give you a solid understanding how event simulation solver works. You will have opportunity to get your questions answered and to provide feedback directly to the people creating new features.

You can see plastic injection moulded parts everywhere. From the consumer products and children's toys in our homes all the way through to the interiors of the cars we drive.
