Description
The study of human anatomy has traditionally been the domain of physicians, dentists, physiotherapists, nurses, paramedics, and other health professionals. What happens when you let building designers have a crack at replicating it? This class provides you with the opportunity to meet Project OVE, Arup's virtual human. OVE has a full structural skeleton and respiratory system. OVE sweats, gets hungry, and even has a heart. We are still working on the operating system but OVE has a huge brain that will act as the main control center when finished. However, OVE is also more than just an artificial replication of the human body. Creating an intelligent version of OVE required us to exploit the full potential of Revit®-based software as a state-of-the-art BIM (Body Information Modeling) tool.
Key Learnings
- Fully exploit the information modeling tools available in Revit to create large, intricate services systems
- Collaborate effectively with other project team members when modeling Revit® MEP, Revit® Structure, or Revit® Architecture
- Embed information into Revit families to make multidisciplinary calculations and analysis easier
- Model a human in Revit-based software
Speakers
- ADAndrew DuncanAndrew is an Associate Director based in London. He is dedicated to using digital technology to improve project efficiency and deliverable quality. Andrew joined Arup as an apprentice in 2005 and has spent much of the time since working on buildings designed by some of the world's leading architects. An AU veteran, Andrew is a passionate advocate of sharing knowledge with clients and peers in order to help advance the industry's collective capability. In regards to notable work, Andrew was the driving force behind Project_OVE, an internal experiment to create a building in the shape of a human being (inside and out), and he co-created the Arup BIM Maturity Measure, a tool designed to measure BIM use on a project. Andrew's latest project has been to create a single Revit standard to be used by Arup globally.
- JLJonathan Lock<p>Andrew is MEP BIM Manager for one of Arup's large multidisciplinary building teams based in London.He is passionate about harnessing the power of software to aid design innovation and attentively tracks the emergence of new technologies. He constantly challenges the limits of what's new or possible and continuously strives to achieve an excellent outcome.Most of Andrew's experience thus far has been accumulated whilst working with some of the world's finest architectural practices. The challenges that such complex and bespoke projects present have led to Andrew to develop a deep understanding of a wide variety of BIM applications and processes.Andrew is Arup's MEP representative at London Revit User Group, has represented Arup at Autodesk University on a number of occasions and also regularly attends other BIM networking events. He is also currently studying for an MSc in BIM and Integrated Design at the University of Salford.</p>
