The flexible software access provided by Autodesk Building Design Suite means building design and construction professionals have a broader palette of tools so they can choose the best solution for the job at hand and quickly respond to changing business requirements.
As part of the Building Design Suite, architects, engineers and contractors now have access to select Autodesk 360 capabilities, which allow them to rapidly design, visualize, simulate, and share ideas anywhere, anytime with the secure and virtually infinite computing power in the cloud. Autodesk Building Design Suite customers have access to the following services as part of an active subscription (services vary by edition.)
OpenBuildings Speedikon streamlines your workflow, throughout the design, structural drafting, and construction documentation process, for new and existing industrial facilities, airports, hospitals, and factories in Germany.
The MasterSeries Building Design Suite is made up of individual MasterSeries modules, intelligently bundled together to give you everything you need to design buildings. Start with the core modules, and then, only choose the design bundles you require. Add additional bundles at any stage, via a simple activation code.
The MasterSeries Building Design Suite gives you the versatility you need to analyse and design almost any type of structure in one 3D multi-material modelling environment. Creating the perfect balance between automation and engineering control, the Building Design Suite has become the software of choice for thousands of Structural Engineering professionals.
The MasterSeries Building Design Suite can be customised to suit the range of analysis and design options that are relevant to your business. You can include the design of steel elements, steel connections, composite beams, concrete or timber to Eurocode, British Standard and other international standards; all integrated into one information-rich, central structural model.
Using the provided 1D or 2D structural elements, such as columns, beams, shear walls, bracing system, slabs, shells etc., engineers are able to create any kind building. MasterSeries Building Design Suite provides a great range of material and section libraries to facilitate modelling of steel, concrete, composite, timber or multi-material structures.
Creating one-way or two-way spanning wind loading surfaces, MasterSeries Building Design Suite, using the parameters provided by MasterKey: Wind Analysis module, automatically calculate and apply the wind loading for the most complex 3D building as well. Furthermore, MasterSeries Building Design Suite graphically shows all of the calculated wind parameters to allow you to easily review and verify the wind zones, pressure coefficients etc.
MasterSeries Building Design Suite automatically generates the analysis model based on the completely separated engineering model, allowing you to concentrate on the real engineering design.
MasterFrame: Dynamic Analysis helps to understand the dynamic behaviour of floors, bridges, high rise buildings, sensitive laboratories and staircases. Includes full analytical response factor evaluation.
In the MasterSeries Building Design Suite, producing a code compliant design is a central feature of its workflow. In all modules in the MasterSeries design range, you'll find superb levels of analysis design integration. The perfect balance between automation and engineering control. Complete yet concise on screen design output. Feature rich design options giving total flexibility. Technically advanced design, giving you complete confidence and ultimate efficiency.
The Report Generator provides you with full control over the layout and content of your design reports, allowing you to quickly and easily customise the output to your specific needs. Reports can be be created in seconds, and if changes are made, the report can be reproduced from a saved template at the click of a button.
Our engineering reports include fine-grained information on your analysis, design and graphical output, all presented in a clean document (printed, or exported to Word or PDF) with the level of detail expected of any professional report.
Revit Architecture 2012 has a significant number of new features. The new construction modeling tools offer better construction insight by coordinating the design and construction model in a single file.
New modeling tools in Revit Architecture coordinate the design model and construction model within a single file, providing the user with better construction insight.
A new Create Parts/Divide Model tool provides the means for dividing Revit Architecture geometry into smaller parts for the purpose of creating more accurate schedules, quantity takeoffs, and visualizations. This new functionality can help create shop drawings for prefabrication projects such as precast walls. Users can select, schedule, and tag these assemblies so they are tracked within the project.
Revit Architecture now includes Conceptual Energy Analysis and native point cloud support (so imported point cloud models behave like a modeling object within the software), and Revit element creation and modification tools are now capable of snapping to planar surfaces that are dynamically detected within the point cloud.
MEP engineers will appreciate improvements in Revit MEP 2012, including an enhanced Sloped Piping tool and Check Duct Systems and Check Pipe Systems commands that generate a disconnectedgeometry warning when a model has open-ended ducts and pipes. Revit Structure 2012 has seen a number of enhancements, such as improvements to attaching rebar.
The release of 3ds Max Design 2012 delivers three core enhancements: new rendering toolsets, enhanced iterative workflows, and an accelerated graphics core called Nitrous. With Nitrous, you have unlimited lights, soft shadows, screenspace ambient occlusion, tone-mapping, and higher-quality transparency available.
In addition, you can now natively import Autodesk Alias Design files (WIRE format) into 3ds Max Design. The iray renderer simplifies the process of getting more predictable, photorealistic results, similar to using a point-and-shoot camera, whereas stylistic rendering lets you create a variety of nonphotorealistic effects.
The iray renderer in 3ds Max Design allows for more predictable photorealistic results.
Autodesk Inventor Fusion is a recent graduate from the Autodesk Labs technology preview site. It is a relatively new 3D mechanical design solution offering a combination of history-free and history-based modeling; this provides a unique approach for modeling.
Inventor Fusion is a marriage between the somewhat easyto- use modeling in AutoCAD 3D and the powerful parametric modeling in Inventor. If you were to compare Inventor Fusion with AutoCAD 3D modeling and Inventor, you would find the modeling process has more in common with AutoCAD, but the user interface is much closer to Inventor.
As a building design professional, you might ask yourself, Why do I need a mechanical modeling application such as Inventor Fusion? Well, this solution lets you quickly and efficiently create solid models of building elements, such as sunscreens or even spider fittings for curtain walls. Revit can accomplish this task, but the process is time-consuming and more difficult than it should be. Inventor Fusion also has a tool that lets you simplify the geometry of your solid model. This can be a real benefit should you create a solid model of a building element that is so complex that it hinders performance in Revit.
