Autodesk and Ansys will be announcing very exciting news for users that are designing PCBs during the 2022 Autodesk University. One of the main concerns today for every PCB designer is Signal Integrity. In the past, Signal Integrity analysis was required only for cutting-edge technology products, but today almost every product includes an antenna, a CPU, DRAM and signa integrity becomes an integral part of the development process, including electromagnetic compatibility certification. Since Signal Integrity is a relatively new discipline, not all PCB layout designers have all the necessary technical background and experience to make them feel confident in this field. The purpose of this class is to provide an overview of the fundamentals of Signal Integrity highlighting its importance for product development and certification.

Drafting in VDC programs takes a combination of industry knowledge and software knowledge. In order to be proficient, a drafter has to pull from both knowledge sets and the best VDC personnel have some level of field experience in order to know how systems should be built correctly and efficiently. This session will moderate a discussion on ways to train union labor, both from the field and through the apprenticeship. In both cases, there is a need for some level of proficiency. For apprentices, more jobsites are incorporating coordination software in the field. They need to be able to use the software tools to read, interpret and build. For journeymen using their experience to become draftsmen, they need training on how to use software to design, coordinate and fabricate. The discussion will talk about how contractors around the country are approaching this training, what content should be taught to each set of people and how they approach bringing in labor to the office.

The Athena Project is a 470k€ project involving INWIT, the main Italian Tower Operator providing BTS (Base Transceiver Station) network for all the major Italian TELCOs. Of the 470k€, 150k€ were allocated for services, 150k€ for BIM360 Build (3Y), 50k€ for BIM360 Design (3Y) and 20k€ for Forge cloud credits. The fundamental aspect of the project was the necessity of an integrated centralized single source of truth, for the management of about 22.000 BTS (Base Transceiver Station), enabling the possibility of extracting all the models’ data geo located on a map, whenever needed, to ease maintenance operations and planning. 2M€ savings in 3y are foreseen through the implementation of a leading-edge data-management system, unlocking the power of data to enable more efficient asset maintenance planning, thanks to the availability of a BIM-GIS data lake, operating as a Common Data Environment.

The moment a new facility opens, the data needed to operate it is immediately out of date. The disconnect between building design, construction, and operations is real and it significantly impacts building owners. The ability to locate and service critical assets from day one is compromised, risking asset performance, service quality and operational efficiency that only gets worse as time goes on. Sophisticated integrations between Autodesk and modern IWMS platforms like Archibus are streamlining this process and closing the gap. Better knowledge transfer from design to operation ensures a smoother transition, better design, and more efficient operations that significantly reduces costs, delivers a higher-quality occupier experience, and more. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging these systems to maximize operational performance and extract data from their physical environment to make more informed decisions that strengthen their future.
