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 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.

Are you struggling to manage multiple projects under a single framework? Do you find it challenging to ensure seamless information exchange and consistency in structuring information? If yes, then this class is for you. Atkins, a design consultant for Dublin and Cork Airports, faced a unique challenge of managing around 50 subprojects per year under a five-year framework. To overcome this challenge, we used Autodesk Construction Cloud to build a connected ecosystem that helps the delivery team manage their single source of truth and exchange information with internal and external stakeholders seamlessly. In this class, you'll learn how we capitalized on Autodesk Construction Cloud to build a scalable ecosystem for managing multiproject frameworks. You'll gain insights into our strategy for structuring information, automating workflows, and ensuring consistency across all projects. Additionally, you'll learn about the benefits of Autodesk Construction Cloud as compared to BIM 360, including improved collaboration, increased efficiency, and reduced risk.

In road design, there are lots of cases where road elements vary a lot. And the typical way of introducing different road elements in the section is to design an assembly for each section you need. Road designers will arrive to a list of road sections that burden them with managing each assembly. This consumes more time that should be used in designing. In this class, you'll learn how to use protocol decision-making subassembly that will help designers create a "smart assembly” that has an algorithm that inserts, removes, modifies, or merges road elements by means of parametric design. This will change our way of road modeling altogether. Creating a massive list of sections that are difficult to manage will be a thing of the past. Building a smart assembly will improve efficiency in modeling complex road sections. And it will ease designers from managing a massive list of assemblies and improve their workflows in road modeling, leading to a more sustainable and efficient workflow.

See how Model Coordination was used on the Portland International Airport (PDX) to coordinate design partners, trade partners, and general contractor as-built scans. This class will discuss the philosophy of our use, and the setup and maintenance process, as well as lessons learned along the way. The project joined Autodesk Cloud Services in January 2019 in order to handle the sheer number of team members and data that needed to be coordinated across all teams. The decision to use Model Coordination was heavily targeted toward the leadership group for both design and owner. These folks are not Revit users but are integral to the design process and direction. This platform allowed them to see the design as it developed and offered a unique lens previously unavailable. It also gave them the freedom to explore the design and investigate areas of the building with ease. The platform was used very effectively in regular coordination meetings, client meetings, and client-driven meetings.

This class will cover how the Autodesk AEC Collection for Infrastructure can be used for detailed bridge design using InfraWorks, Inventor, and Revit.
