Bergen’s Light-Rail Project Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategy was shaped by strict demands: 300-plus professional stakeholders, lots of tunnels, heavy storm events, traffic, and tracks running down the middle of Norway’s second-largest city. The unique execution plan created for this project was customized from a mix of private and government guides. The resulting plan included model specifications, level of development (LOD) progressions, quality assurance criteria, and collaboration policies. The project capitalized on iConstruct, FME, and A360 cloud-based collaboration service to automatically create and compose the federated/collaboration model. A powerful set of custom information was added to objects at this collaboration stage to further facilitate the mapped processes. Autodesk Consulting and Premium Support assisted to optimize and customize workflows. And Autodesk Consulting is currently working on a joint Autodesk, Inc./Sweco cloud solution, so the entire project team will have an updated model available every day as this project moves toward completion.

The learning from the recent pandemic that struck businesses hard, was to enable business to function uninterrupted remotely. For engineering or manufacturing businesses, design forms the core element, which had to be quickly ported from cubicles to homes without compromising the performance. This required that not only design and drawings, but calculations, analysis, simulation and decision making that happen across the table, have now to be moved to the cloud to enable a collaborative, device or location independent functioning. Autodesk Forge, not only solved the cloud enablement of collaborative design, but also provided a platform to automate many of the calculation, analysis, configuration and documentation of products and processes. In this industry talk, I would like to touch upon a few case studies and customer examples, where Forge has enabled an elevator manufacturer, a process integrator and an Engineering conglomerate overcome their remote working maladies over the cloud

The architecture, engineering, and construction industry is often disconnected. Processes, data storage, and priorities vary between design firms, general contractors, and trades. This fractured environment can lead to missed opportunities and expensive rework. But what if there were a way to connect these stakeholders directly in the tools they’ve been using for years? In this session we will hear from industry leaders about round-trip issues workflows from an easy-to-use collaboration workspace into Revit or Navisworks for resolution—all in a common data environment. Improve accountability through tracking and communication features within the issues layer and accelerate project timelines through continuous collaboration. The future of design-build delivery systems unites teams and tools by unlocking the controlled flow of information between them.

We’d like to share our journey of how we integrated Universal Scene Description (USD) in Maya into our production pipeline. We’ll set the stage by describing life in Maya prior to USD, when we used a generative scene building framework called Shotsetup. This tool had its strengths and weaknesses, and led us to adopt USD for its promised functionality. We’ll share a technical description of the choices we made, presenting the main artist front-facing tools fueled by AL_USDMaya (EnvironmentStudio2, Forge2). We then made the decision to open source the plugin, and will share the reasons why and the lessons learned. Finally, we will describe the collaboration with Autodesk around the unifying goal: from 3 to 1 plugin.
