Today, companies have to achieve perfect products in the shortest possible time and in high quality. This is possible through the use of virtual commissioning with a digital twin along the entire value chain. IndustrialPhysics is a physics-based 3D simulation software for the virtual commissioning of mechatronic systems. In this workshop, we will use numerous practical examples from different industries to show how other companies have already implemented this important topic and reveal the results that have been achieved.

Autodesk Research has been exploring the intersection of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and Internet of Things (IoT) for the last decade. Project Dasher (http://dasher360.com) integrates sensor data with model data from Autodesk's Forge platform to contextualize IoT data in 3D. This session will look at what is happening with Dasher, but also will talk in detail about the Forge capabilities that Dasher has used—which are available to all Forge developers—to build a digital twin integrating real-world performance data.

Digital twins are the latest buzzword in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Are you being asked to deliver a digital twin to your clients? As an owner are you looking to have greater insights into your facilities’ performance and operations? Digital twins are simply the next step in the digital transformation of your business. This talk will help you cut through the hype, and understand the value of a digital twin and what is required to create one. Furthermore, we’ll introduce a new technology from Autodesk called Tandem that can maximize your existing data to create a digital twin. We’ll also discuss how Autodesk Tandem can integrate with new and existing systems to connect the digital model to the operational and performance data of its physical counterpart, unlocking the true value of a digital twin.

The building owner's Digital Twins include digital models of facilities & operations. They should be integrated. We share work to define owner FM requirements and scaleable methods to deliver FM data from capital projects using Autodesk products. We also integrate the VueOps platform, which uses Autodesk Forge, with an owner’s computerized maintenance management system. This owner seeks to find and view design, product, and O&M information about equipment holistically for incidence response and maintenance events, and eventually incorporate it with asset health and diagnosis tools. VueOps extracts and relates location, system, and equipment information from annotated CAD and BIM, to power ‘right information, right time’ search in a customized Forge viewer. We integrated the VueOps viewer and connected VueOps data with the owner’s computerized maintenance management system to bring BIM and project turnover data into an enterprise CMMS and manage changes between the Digital Twins.

Developing strong and collaborative relationships between construction specialty contractors and building owners is crucial for successful project outcomes. Effective communication, mutual understanding, and a shared vision are key ingredients for fostering these relationships. In this presentation, we will explore strategies and best practices that specialty contractors can employ to build better relationships with building owners. By implementing these approaches, contractors can enhance client satisfaction, improve project efficiency, and secure repeat business opportunities. Join us as we delve into practical insights and actionable steps to strengthen the foundation of collaboration in the construction industry.

Like most firms, Hazen is at times, unable to dictate which CM platform is used on every project. However, for the last several years we have an internal preferred solution that is not ACC Build. In late 2022 we began pilot testing Autodesk Build with the goal of the pilot being to determine whether we should begin integrating ACC Build going forward. If yes, should we use Autodesk Build on certain projects alongside our other platform, or should it replace that platform entirely? What we hope to gain from this pilot is identifying the feature and workflow differences between the two platforms, and whether Autodesk Build can provide an advantage in transferring our asset-ready intelligent models through construction and as-built into a digital twin / facility management product like Autodesk Tandem. This pilot project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024, but we wanted to share our experiences so far and provide some insight into our findings.

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.

New manufacturing techniques and innovative materials are making us rethink infrastructure creation, but they've also raised a need for closer structural health monitoring. Autodesk Research collaborated with MX3D to create the world's first 3D-printed steel bridge, and then with Dar Al-Handasah to 3D print a series of bridges from sustainable (recycled and recyclable) material. We drove the effort to add "smarts” to both bridges via sensor networks that capture data about their use. The bridges were modeled as digital twins using innovative visualization technology that has been integrated into Autodesk Platform Services and Autodesk Tandem software. These twins visualize the stress on the bridges' structures as people walk across them. Given the popularity of the 5-meter Dar bridge exhibited at Autodesk University 2022 in New Orleans, we wanted to show more details of our work on these iconic projects, and how they might influence the future of smart and sustainable infrastructure.

Join us for an engaging session on digital twins, and discover how this innovative technology can transform the way you manage your properties and facilities! With a lot of talk about digital twins (DT), Multiconsult wanted to gain first-hand experience by creating a DT Proof of Concept for a rehabilitated office building. In this session you'll learn the value DT can create for the building's operators and owners, the obstacles and challenges Multiconsult and their partners faced building the DT, and what they learned from the process. Discover how digital twins can help you remotely monitor your facilities in near-real time and achieve your sustainability goals.

Real estate and infrastructure are facing high pressure to reduce CO2 and waste. This class will demonstrate how to digitize existing real estate or infrastructure portfolios with a focus on decarbonization and reuse of material. The class will cover how to find out the CO2 footprint of a current portfolio, how to capture material, and how to use it as a material mine and bring it into a circle, as natural resources like sand and water are limited and shrinking drastically. The class will present a real example involving the Swiss Army based on other examples of relevant real estate owners in Switzerland. Digital twins are crucial in this context to the very precise and reliable capture and analysis of the data, and they help accelerate decisions and implementation, accelerate time to market, and ultimately lead to even more revenue for the owners. Technology showcased will be Revit software, Autodesk Tandem, InfraWorks software, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

General contractors, like Bouygues Construction, face new challenges: skilled workforce shortages and a need for sustainability engagement (carbon footprint reduction) and high quality. Compared to the manufacturing industry, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has been struggling to improve productivity for years. To tackle these challenges, we need to transform our ways of working by going beyond building information modeling (BIM)-expected outcomes. Our dedicated team SmartFabrik embeds engineering methodology as a new approach to construction in functional bricks. These bricks maximize knowledge and know-how management (from all actors at all steps). Through this new modularity, we can produce deliverables that meet the jobsite's actual needs and requirements. This process is a foundation of Building 4.0, moving from multitrade on-site activities to modules and tasks' assembly. The as-built model is the starting point for the future digital twin. During this class we'll illustrate the approach with the MEP Riser module using Manufacturing Informed Design software.

This panel of industry experts with backgrounds spanning facilities, real estate and technology will share their insights on using data to drive new efficiencies in facility operations. We'll discuss how building owners are driving better outcomes with data and what the future holds with the rise of real-time digital twins and cloud-based maintenance platforms. This panel will put forward practical steps facility managers can apply today to become more data-driven and plan for a digital-first future. Audience members will walk away with new perspectives for managing their facility operations with connected data.

Traditional estimation methods for new build and renovation projects involve hours manually measuring the physical space. If you're lucky, the 2D drawing or a 3D "model fairy” has blessed you with somewhat accurate drawings at best. But, in most situations, we don't hold our breath. Brandt recognized they could divert time spent on multiple site visits to other critical project needs by bringing reality capture to their estimation process. With one Matterport scan, Brandt built a great foundation of project information using the digital twin to collect, document, and record spaces for quick reference to create long-term value for their clients. Learn how Brandt built remote estimation into their projects, saving time and money by reallocating resources to more critical tasks, all while minimizing disruption within their estimating team. The result for Brandt was the same. Accurate and reliable estimates, but in less time without the overhead costs involving multiple site visits.

This talk will be about real-time, city-scale data visualization, analytics, computation, and simulation in Unreal Engine. We'll demonstrate real-world examples where complex master-planning data sets from multiple stakeholders were integrated to build an immersive digital twin platform in Unreal Engine. You'll learn how the outcome facilitated stakeholder engagement and collaboration and the ability to explore what-if scenarios of the urban development. Materials and textures application and rendering were automated, enabling application of different materials composition to city infrastructure and buildings to provide a realistic feel of the urban context. The speed of the real-time rendering was a masterpiece of computational geometry application to achieve automated processes.

More and more complex assets are delivered with a digital model that has undeniable importance in the CapEx (capital expenditure) phase. However, a basic question arises for a pharmaceutical leader like GSK: What are the business and manufacturing benefits that can be derived from this smart digital representation of assets, and how? Through "design thinking" tools and an agile approach, we answer this question by focusing on making daily life easier for the shop floor teams. The basic principle focuses on the "spatial contextualization" of information through a 3D or 2D model to support team decision making and team collaboration. The bottom line: The information contextualization enables a prioritization of daily activities and eliminates time previously spent searching for the right information or any asset component. We will share the four phases of this pharma 4.0 digital innovation project: exploration, prototyping, showcasing, and implementation in an interactive storytelling format.
