AEC Systems & Building Design

The building design solutions provided are the tools and technology you need to bring design ideas to life. From industry-leading design and drafting software to the Revit platform for building information modeling (BIM), a robust set of architecture software solutions that help you improve productivity, deliver innovative design ideas, and manage change throughout the project lifecycle.

Solutions for BIM

Building information modeling, or BIM, is an integrated workflow built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations.

By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can easily create coordinated, digital design information and documentation; use that information to accurately predict performance, appearance, and cost; and reliably deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact.

Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), Revit® software works the way architects, engineers and designers think, so you create naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently.

Solutions for Collaboration

AEC_Navisworks Autodesk Navisworks software provides all the tools required for smooth-running construction projects. Navisworks software fuses seamless visualization of all types of models, precise replication of designs, accurate simulation of 4D construction schedules, and powerful clash detection into one product, keeping all project stakeholders on the same digital page, whether creating, viewing, or reviewing 3D models.

By combining the high-quality information created by BIM applications such as Revit®-based software with geometry and data from other design tools, Autodesk NavisWorks products enable a real-time, whole-project view for effective 3D coordination, 4D planning, photorealistic visualization, dynamic simulation, and accurate analysis.

Solutions for Architecture

Revit Architecture building information modelling software allows architects to focus on designing buildings, without design software or application learning curves getting in the way. Work in any view, iterate throughout your different design phases, and quickly and easily make changes to major compositional elements.

Create comprehensive design proposals in record time. See your ideas realized on the fly with 3D views and fully rendered scenes. You can even make late-stage changes with full confidence that your plans, schedules, and construction documents are coordinated.

Solutions for Structural Design

AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite software extends building information modeling (BIM) for structural engineering firms from design to fabrication, combining the power of Revit Structure software with the well-known AutoCAD software and AutoCAD Structural Detailing software. Revit Structure parametric change management technology helps coordinate design modifications across the model and its documentation. Updates from bidirectional linking to popular structural analysis software, including Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software, help to both keep everything more consistent and improve multidiscipline coordination.

Revit Structure technology also now allows designer, engineers and drafters to create a single 3D model for inspecting and visualizing bridge designs. Revit also now allows you to create more accurate site topography by importing 3D civil data directly into Revit Structure for more improved visualization of the Bridge and the site conditions.
