Taking BIM for Structural Engineering to the Limits—and Beyond

Share this class

Description

Building on last year’s class "Taking BIM to the Limits for Structural Engineers and Technicians," we will present new workflows to increase productivity and minimize the waste caused in the design and documentation of structural engineering software. The class will focus on interoperability between analysis software and Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools, with a focus on Revit building design software as the primary documentation model. Making the most of parametric modeling tools—such as Dynamo software, Rhino software, and Grasshopper software—and optimization techniques using a wide range of tools, "Open BIM" can provide the foundation to successful collaboration. We will use real-world examples of complex and simple structures to demonstrate techniques and processes that will increase your efficiency and make the most of your team’s skill set, and examine what future skills your team might need to develop. This session features Revit Structure, Dynamo Studio, and Robot Structural Analysis. AIA Approved

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to make the most of collaborative workflows between the architect and engineer to maximize efficiency and minimize waste in the design and delivery of structural engineering solutions
  • Learn how to optimize structural solutions to provide sustainable design choices that are buildable and cost-effective
  • Gain insight into the training opportunities and skill set your team will need to stay ahead of your competitors
  • Gain a better understanding of the needs of all stakeholders in the lifecycle of a project through design, construction, and operation of a facility, and learn how your design can be flexible to accommodate future changes

Speakers

  • Matt Wash
    Matt is the Australasian Structural BIM leader at Arup. Having over 19 years experience with Arup globally, combining his skills as an engineer with his experience as a technician, Matt is keen to eliminate waste and maximise value using BIM processes.
  • Graham Aldwinckle
    Graham is a chartered structural engineer with over 24 years of industry experience. He has a wide range of experience of different building types, including residential, commercial, retail, education, and mixed use. He has extensive tall building knowledge, including landmark buildings such as the Leadenhall Building in London. Graham is passionate about promoting Building Information Modelling (BIM) for all disciplines, and particularly for efficiency gains for structural engineers and technicians, as well as Clients. He is the structural BIM leader for Arup's Building Engineering teams in the UK, and is part of the global multidisciplinary team shaping BIM in Arup. As the Structural Skills Network Tools and Software Leader within Arup, he advises on digital design aspects including parametric design, workflow optimisation, data and process management, interoperability, as well as best practice in the use of the software tools available. Graham has spoken at conferences on structural BIM, including on measuring a project’s BIM maturity, using a tool which he co-developed in Arup, and which is now available to the industry via arup.com, the ICE and buildingSmart. Graham strongly promotes openBIM practices, firmly believing that open standard deliverables such as IFC need more industry support through initiatives such as Arup’s direct engagement with buildingSmart International council. These skills directly benefit his project work, through delivering best practice, and advising and discussing BIM with clients.
