SUSTAINABLE DESIGN USING FUSION 360 & GENERATIVE DESIGN EXTENSION

Customer challenge

           

Engineering Contracting Company LLC (ECC) is one of the most established and diverse contracting companies in the UAE. ECC offers unified contracting services to enable the most innovative and cost-effective value engineering solutions for its clients while upholding its commitment to quality and delivery timeline. ECC faces a range of challenges in their day-to-day operations and long-term growth. It includes.


  • Cost Management
  • Project Design Changes
  • Technology Adoption
  • Regulatory Compliance
  • Environmental Sustainability

Project goals

Three goals were identified under this project:


  • Innovation and Technology Integration: Explore and implement new technologies and innovative solutions to improve project efficiency, sustainability, and outcomes.
  • Minimize Material Waste: ECC wants design that reduce material waste during fabrication or construction, helping to lower material costs and minimize environmental impact while promoting sustainability.
  • Reduce Construction Time: ECC looking to create more efficient and optimized designs that can lead to shorter construction times, resulting in reduced labor and equipment costs.

Solution

Before Moving to Autodesk Fusion 360, ECC uses Traditional Architectural modelling tools to design MEP Components & other Architecture elements in construction industry. However, users are facing challenges in existing workflow, as below:

1) Complex Project Requirements: Many construction projects involve intricate and unique specifications that require innovative design solutions. Meeting these requirements was challenging and required specialized expertise.


2) Site Constraints: Designing structures within limited or challenging sites, such as urban environments with limited space, sloping terrain, or areas with environmental restrictions, was difficult.


3) Material Selection and Availability: Identifying suitable construction materials and ensuring their availability can be a challenge, particularly when dealing with unique or sustainable materials.


After Autodesk Fusion 360 Generative Design Extension Implementation, ECC is able to overcome some of the challenges mentioned.


1) By using Generative design extension, designers can now explore a wide range of design options quickly, allowing it to discover innovative and optimal solutions for complex project requirements. Reduced user design time by 50%. 


2) Autodesk Fusion 360 Generative design tools such as Preserve and obstacle geometry helped in considering site constraints, such as limited space or environmental restrictions, and produce designs that efficiently utilize the available area while adhering to project specifications. It simplifies the process of exploring design iterations while accommodating client-requested changes. Thereby saves user time by 70 %.


3) Study Materials in Generative design helped ECC team to study and analyze material availability and suitability for the project, which helps them to make informed decisions about material choices. It helped ECC to reduce material cost by 30%.

Business outcome

After the implementation of Autodesk solutions, users create designs that are more material-efficient and cost-effective, which lead to significant cost savings around 25% over the lifecycle of a project. It improved the company's profitability and competitiveness in bidding for contracts. In terms of Sustainability and Environmental Impact, with Autodesk Fusion 360 Designers now able to create Eco-friendly Designs aligning with the growing demand for environmentally responsible construction projects.
