Description
This class is a follow up to "Speed Up Your Preconstruction Models for Formworks Planning Using Revit and APIs". Last year, the focus was on vertical formwork. This year, the focus will be on horizontal formworks. Concrete structures are the core of the business of Vinci. Therefore, plan accurately horizontal formworks on a daily basis during the preconstruction phase is critical but also very time-consuming. Vinci decided to develop with the help of Autodesk Consulting a toolset in Revit with two objectives:
1. Leveraging already captured Building Information from the Revit model: building geometry, phase, building options.
2. Leveraging the 3D and connected 2D drawings to better communicate with the site.
This class will show how Vinci successfully integrates this toolset into its process (using built-in Revit features - parts, phase -, custom families, data files, Revit API) and how this technology piece is an important step for the BIM transformation of a construction company.
Key Learnings
- Learn how construction and formwork providers companies can transpose their expertise into an efficient BIM tool
- Learn how a company can successfully manage the security on the field and avoid waste with a better formwork planning
- Learn how the power of API and custom plugins can help your requirements
- Understand the benefits of Autodesk consulting services throughout an EBA contract
Speakers
- MLMERRI LAWANWith over a decade of experience in construction both on site and off site, Merri Lawan joined the French leading general contracting company VINCI Construction France’s Building Information Modeling (BIM) Team at its inception in 2011. Having worked for Bouygues Construction, Merri has been a keen Revit software user since 2010, and as of 2011, he is now responsible for the BIM implementation in VINCI, in charge of Revit software integration within design teams, technical departments, and cost estimations to construction sites. As an Autodesk Developer Network Member, Merri focuses on custom software development and takes an active part in the Autodesk Beta Testing Program. As an expert in the Revit software API, he has developed and deployed VINCI’s in-house plug-ins and tools accelerating business workflow among BIM products. Finally, as a BIM evangelist in VINCI, his role includes the training supervision and technical support for all subsidiaries in France.
Michael KlossPartner and founding member of GEM Team Solutions. Before founding the GEM Team, Michael worked as a CAD software developer for Softtech GmbH. After the acquisition by Softdesk, Inc. he worked for 9 month at Softdesk in USA. After Autodesk, Inc. acquired Softdesk, he worked for 2 years as a CAD software developer for Autodesk, being a member of the team that developed the Autodesk® Architectural Desktop. Michael has a diploma in computer science from the University of Kaiserslautern.
Miroslav SchonauerMiro has extensive combined engineering and IT background, with a Dipl.Ing. in Civil and Structural Engineering (Split, Croatia 1988), PhD. in Numerical Methods in Engineering (Swansea, Wales, 1993) and 35+ years’ experience in commercial engineering software design, development and customization. His initial involvement with 3D AEC and BIM (before it was even called BIM!) took place between 1995 and 2000 within AceCad Software and its then-market-leading 3D structural steelwork modelling solution StruCAD, where he was leading the integration efforts with various 3rd party 3D structural analysis/design (QSE, Staad III, etc.) and Plant Design (Intergraph, Aveva) software packages through proprietary and neutral/public data formats. He's been with Autodesk since 2000, initially as Developer Consulting Specialist leading the AEC support team (AutoCAD, LDDT, ADT/ACA, MEP, Revit and Civil3D APIs) and currently as Senior Solutions (Software) Architect with Autodesk Consulting. His specialty have always been APIs for all Autodesk® AEC and BIM products, now extended from pure desktop APIs into the full APS cloud platform. He's conducted numerous training sessions, given many conference talks and provided direct technical support on such topics. For the last 18 years, he's been applying combined API, products, industry, software/IT methodologies and process analyses knowledge to architecting and developing consulting solutions that extend the functionality of Autodesk BIM/AEC desktop and cloud products/platform; and integrate them within various generic and /or specific customer workflows, processes and solutions.
