Description

In this class, we will use the Grand Paris Express project linking the suburbs of Paris by metro to showcase the workflows that enable project success. We will demonstrate solutions for the unique requirements of Building Information Modeling (BIM)-ready tunnel projects from predesign to construction, including accurate existing conditions, reality capture, dynamic object systems, extended attribution, subsurface geology awareness, excavation phasing, interoperation with coordinate systems and sloped geometry, level of development (LOD) progression, structural steel and rock bolt layouts, and quantities surveys. Enterprise Priority Support has worked directly with some of the collaborating engineering firms on the Grand Paris to mentor the use of ReCap 360 software, InfraWorks 360 software, Revit software, and AutoCAD Civil 3D software in order to attain efficient and streamlined workflows across multiple software platforms and engineering disciplines, guaranteeing project success and models ready for BIM. This session features AutoCAD Civil 3D, InfraWorks 360, and Revit Structure. AIA Approved

Key Learnings

  • Learn which modeling tasks are done in AutoCAD Civil 3D, which are done in Revit, and which are done in InfraWorks 360—for each stage of the project
  • See how geologic strata are defined and used for excavation and quantities tasks
  • Learn the Revit network for tunnel design (learn how to export to a third party for structural analysis)
  • Learn how shared coordinates work between Revit and geospatial applications

Speakers

  • Lucy Kuhns
    Lucy Kuhns has experience that spans the practices of engineering, architecture, and construction. She began as a mechanical engineer designing and testing helicopters for Hughes Aircraft Company; off-road vehicles for Honda Motor Company, Ltd.; and bi-modal rail equipment for a small startup company. After an off-road vehicle test crash in the California desert, she began exploring and studying civil engineering and architecture. She later moved to New Mexico where she joined a civil engineering/surveying firm and led the company through the early and often painful process of implementing advanced technologies. She states, 'We worked smarter with fewer people and spent a fortune on new technology, and we competed with the big guys—and often won!' It was a natural progression for her to move into software applications engineering, training, and support in early 2001. She now works with the Autodesk, Inc., team of product support specialists offering Enterprise Support Solutions for the infrastructure industry.
