Integrating Inventor into the Revit BIM Environment

Compartir esta clase

Descripción

This session will present a workflow between Inventor and Revit software using Dynamo as an automation tool for production. Our firm has an extensive history of using Inventor for bridge infrastructure modeling and using programming to automate production. Structural concrete or steel, reinforcement, bolted connections, and construction details are represented in our parametric models. Our firm chose Inventor as a primary 3D production tool due to its short learning curve with new 3D modelers, approachability, and native parametric functionalities. However, to be within a building information modeling (BIM) environment for collaboration with partnering firms and clients, we pushed these Inventor models into Revit using a combination of location data from our analysis models and Dynamo inside Revit. With this workflow, we can automate the assembly of our Revit intelligent model, establish Inventor as a BIM support tool for modeling within the production team, and retain our firm's Inventor assets for future BIM projects.

    Ivan has more than ten years of experience in the bridge industry with COWI North America, Inc. and FINLEY Engineering Group. Before joining the bridge industry, Ivan received his master's degree in Structural Engineering from Texas A&M University and worked in the Oil & Gas and highway safety testing industries. In these industries, Ivan gained years of experience in non-linear structural modeling/analysis and had multiple opportunities to work on-site to develop a greater understanding of the link between design and construction. He has performed design and construction engineering services for many types of complex bridges, including precast & cast-in-place segmental bridges, spandrel arch bridges, and cable-stayed bridges worldwide. This includes the design, as well as detailed, of various unique and complex temporary work structures for these bridge projects. Ivan has been a project manager for over 5 complex bridge projects and has coordinated multiple teams to complete the required scope of work with a strong emphasis on quality and schedule. He has been a major contributor to the overall development of FINLEY's Bridge Integration Modeling (BrIM) process and its workflow for use on complex bridge projects. He has presented at multiple national bridge industry conferences on topics including using 3D bridge modeling analysis software, staging construction analysis, and geometry control for complex bridges.
