  Miroslav Schonauer

  Miro 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.
