What’s in the Autodesk AEC Collection

The AEC Collection includes BIM and CAD software, including Revit, Civil 3D and AutoCAD, as well as a cloud-based common data environment enabling designers, engineers, and contractors to efficiently deliver high quality building and infrastructure projects. Powerful conceptual design tools help AEC professionals realize design intent, while model-based design solutions accelerate design processes and support integrated workflows for multi-discipline coordination. Analysis and optimization tools improve design quality and ensure constructability. Construction coordination and schedule simulation help reduce costs and minimize field coordination issues during construction. With the AEC Collection, teams can create with ease, explore what’s possible, and build with confidence.

The Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection includes an integrated set of BIM and CAD tools that support early-stage design to construction. This includes popular software such as Revit, Autodesk Forma, AutoCAD, Infraworks, Civil 3D, Autodesk Docs, and more. Visit the included software page for further details.

The collection includes products needed to complete design and construction workflows across the project lifecycle, such as conceptual design, site surface coordination, environmental analysis, bridge design, structural analysis, steel detailing and fabrication, and mechanical fabrication. Data exchange and interoperability of products in the collection allows you to move data between products and third-party applications to complete these workflows. The collection also includes access to a common data environment, providing document management and control to the entire project team. With Autodesk Docs, teams can simplify reviews and approval workflows, as well as data management across the project lifecycle.
