Autodesk made significant additions to its Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection software portfolio to support the next generation of BIM and Revit-based workflows for building and infrastructure projects from planning and design through preconstruction.
With the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection, Autodesk wanted to provide contractors with a powerful set of integrated BIM tools to be effective in projects now and easily equip contractors with the tools needed to be proactive about what the future of designing and building has in store.
The collection includes Revit, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, and 3ds Max.
In the new Collection, you’ll find Revit Live. Revit Live allows you to visualize your Revit models by turning them into immersive visual experiences. You can even take your designs into a virtual reality environment — in just two clicks of your mouse.
Also included is world-class analysis and computational design software. Robot Structural Analysis Professional and Structural Bridge Design work with Revit to extend your capabilities to perform structural analysis for any structure. And, you can now access the Dynamo Studio standalone programming environment to help solve challenges faster by automating workflows that drive the geometry and behavior of your design models.
Finally, the AEC Collection now extends capabilities from design to fabrication. Interoperable with Revit and Navisworks, Autodesk added Advance Steel and Fabrication CADmep to the Collection so you can conceive, model and fabricate better MEP and structural steel systems on an integrated platform.
