4D time simulation in Navisworks software for construction projects are often complicated BIM (Building Information Modeling) services to be used on a daily basis. Reasons can include problems in model coordination, time and element mismatches, time model execution availability, and more. With this approach, we will use the Dynamo player and Dynamo workflows over Revit 2021 software to clean, manage, label, and even create a time schedule so 4D simulation can be easily created and the communication proposal facilitates model coordination and execution. We will cover several routine workflows so that all elements for any type of intelligent model are aligned clean and useful for project management, enabling us to link the model and time schedules with Navisworks in record time. This instructional demo is the synthesis of 13 years of simulations from different projects to make 4D simulation a required task for all projects.

Many may think that one should separate Navisworks software and BIM 360 Model Coordination on a project by choosing one or the other for clash modeling. This could not be further from the truth. This class will highlight case studies of recent Tetra Tech projects that have resulted in a greater than 50% drop in average time spent at the end of projects for disciplines resolving clashes by using BIM 360 Model Coordination and Navisworks. Attendees will learn how to easily start working within BIM 360 Model Coordination, which will enable an earlier start to clash coordination in the project’s design cycle before running a more comprehensive clash analysis using Navisworks. This class will also provide tips, tricks, and innovative processes for working on projects in BIM 360 to easily set up the BIM 360 Model Coordination service, and we’ll cover the new features added in 2021 for bringing these results into Navisworks.

Hear how AECOM used model coordination for a fast-track airport project in Qatar that involved more than 40 buildings, hundreds of project team members from numerous AECOM offices, and thousands of clash reports. BIM 360 Model Coordination software moves clash detection efforts beyond the BIM experts, letting all team members review and access up-to-date model-coordination information. In this session, you’ll learn how Model Coordination with BIM 360 can automatically clash project models and share coordination issues with the project team. Any team member can use BIM 360 Model Coordination without the need for Revit software, Navisworks software, or other specialized software. BIM 360 manages Model Coordination issues, removing the need to distribute clash reports or manage Navisworks exports from your BIM software.

Availability of BIM 360 Model Coordination software made the clash detection portion completely automatic; i.e., uploading files to a given space or a folder in BIM 360 Docs software automatically triggers cloud-based, Navisworks-like, clash-detection service. However, how to interpret those result and resolve the issues are currently completely left up to the users. In this session, we will explore possibilities to further automate some portion of analyzing clashes and suggesting possible resolution options. We approach this goal by making use of all the available Forge capabilities, combining the BIM 360 Model Coordination API to detect clashes, keeping track of issues and resolution with the Issues API to accumulate as a knowledge base, and suggesting/making possible changes to the model using Design Automations for Revit software. We will share how much we accomplished with our dream project, and how we did it.

Model coordination has been around for more than a decade; but it's a laborious task that has too often ended up incomplete. Impacts caused by poor coordination and low-constructability models are costly. Plus, they become major factors of reluctance toward Building Information Modeling (BIM) evolution on the parts of the site workers because they can't rely on it for construction. What we will demonstrate in this class is not your daddy's traditional coordination process. Instant communication replaces long-lasting clash coordination meetings. You'll also learn techniques to engage site workers in the upstream coordination process and benefit from their experience. We will present the different types of issues in BIM in a real project case study. Identification of issues without proper methods to manage them and ensure they are resolved is a waste of precious time. Using different tools such as Revit software, Navisworks software, and the BIM Track platform, attendees will learn workflows to optimize this process and reduce time spent on documenting.
