Regardless of whether you need to work with others on a product mockup, configure a family of products or render a 3D image, adding cloud services to your Autodesk software helps you get your product to market faster and with higher initial customer satisfaction. • Compute-intensive tasks take minutes or hours instead of days. • Collaboration can be with as many people and use as many services as needed. • Multiple cloud services, e.g., Fusion 360, Configurator 360 and Render 360 enable teams to tackle multiple projects and tasks simultaneously.

If you’ve considered using cloud services but can’t find answers to questions like, “How do I ensure that nobody, not even service provider’s staff can access my data?” “Who has the encryption keys?” “How is the data destroyed after use?” this class is for you. The focus of this class will be to understand and summarize your concerns about security of moving data to the cloud and adoption of new Autodesk, Inc., services. We will discuss potential scenarios/options that could address your concerns. No service can guarantee total security and protection, and there is no “silver bullet” addressing all potential security concerns. In the class we will try to define what you can do with Autodesk to demonstrate that Autodesk 360 cloud services are secure and ready for sensitive workloads that require a higher standard of encryption.

The rapid evolution of design technology, software, and cloud services changes how architectural offices and companies operate, and provides great opportunities for improvements that should be used. This follow-up class to “Custom Computational Workflows for BIM Design Implementation” shows how Revit software and Dynamo can benefit from these new developments and cloud services that can provide more global, efficient, fluent, or even fully automated workflows. Current practical examples of custom workflows we use at Zaha Hadid Architects showcase how manual and cross-application design-to-BIM tasks can be implemented via intelligent parametric elements and scripted processes. As a next step, these can be translated into cloud-enabled workflows for further automation and efficiency. What methods, tools, and cloud-services are available and which skills are required to use them?

This class will explain a subset of capabilities that Autodesk cloud services offer to enable collaboration in civil infrastructure projects.

New subscription-based features in Autodesk Revit software provide significant enhancements to integrated whole-building energy simulation powered by the Autodesk® Green Building Studio® cloud service. This demonstration will highlight the automatic creation of accurate energy model geometry from detailed Revit software elements, such as walls, floors, roofs, windows, etc. This eliminates the time and effort required to rebuild a separate energy model, leaving more time for design iteration and optimization. This class will also show how other energy analysis data, such as thermal properties of building materials and building/space function, can be defined in Revit for use in the energy simulation and how the Autodesk Green Building Studio cloud service supports a more collaborative energy analysis process between architects and engineers, leading to greater accuracy and better design optimization from the earliest stages in the process. Finally, the extensive validation work conducted on this new feature will also be presented. While knowledge of Revit will be beneficial for attendees, it is not a requirement.

Working in different industries, with different targets, you'll learn how these two organizations developed similar tools and practices to overcome challenges. They will debate the strategies used to achieve success and what may work for one, but not the other. The panel will show the importance of engaging with people outside traditional digital and engineering roles to maximize the impact of digital transformation and ensure everyone is represented, showing that organizations from different industries, with a different outlook, find solutions for similar challenges.

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.
