Railway projects include many disciplines: rail superstructure, civil works, tunnels, viaducts, road bridges, culverts, systems, and so on. In large-scale international projects, many parties are involved in the design and construction process. And the integration of all information in Autodesk Forma coming from different tools—such as InfraWorks, Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks Manage, and Twinmotion—enables the full BIM methodology implementation on a railway project. Autodesk tools also allow stakeholders to manage the project in the real geographical context, and to facilitate the production of photorealistic videos and virtual reality (VR) experiences for stakeholder engagement.

It has been a long road getting from there to here! Here we are again, on the precipice of a technology revolution. What will the future look like? What will the Autodesk Forma have in store? Most importantly, what will the Construction Industry embrace? Join this class to discuss what Model Coordination will mean, project delivery requirements, automation in the software, automation in the physical world, and the future of VDC roles. We will first time travel back to the beginning of Clash Detection and BIM Software, then we will compare that to current capabilities, and finally we will step into the future to explore the impact of what current cutting edge technology could have and review the tech workflows of the future.

In this hands-on lab, we will get to terms with the basics of the Autodesk Forma Build – Assets module. In this session we will look at: -Defining a standard for our Assets -Import Assets using the model-based workflow -Add our assets to 2D Sheets -Specify data on our assets and change an asset's status -Color-code according to Asset Status -Report out on the current status of our assets

With the advancement in pre-construction technology and enhancements in the Model Coordination product on Autodesk Forma (ACC), we can now take a massive step toward delivering fully coordinated construction models. This will ensure the quality of construction and reduce the wastage of construction materials. The key factor in delivering fully coordinated construction models is a closed-loop clash management system that allows stakeholders to identify and address potential clashes early in the project lifecycle. This results in reduced risks of delays and cost overruns, thus increasing project efficiency and enhancing project quality. In this lab, you will learn about automated clash detection using Model Coordination. You will get hands-on experience with the "closed-loop" end-to-end issue management system, supported by notifications so the users can be notified when you create clash issues. Finally, you will learn how to close the loop by resolving the clashes and changing the issue status to reflect the clash resolution.

Advanced building information modeling (BIM) processes require us to consider modeling with different lenses: personas interacting on a shared model extracting different BIM uses throughout the different project lifecycle stages. We'll look at the specific case of "tunnel ring segment” modeling and all the phases that have been conducted to a Revit model that is open, universal, and fully parametric so it can be used from bidding to execution and from planners to fabricators. The class will show how Bouygues Travaux Publics went from collecting users' needs to formalizing a specification and developing a Revit family and all its applications in Revit, InfraWorks, Navisworks, and Autodesk Forma. We'll focus on the benefits realized with the application in a project now in the construction phase.

In this interactive hands-on lab, you'll learn how to use Autodesk Workshop XR (an immersive workspace) as an essential tool to accelerate your design review process, as have leading firms such as Stantec, HKS, and AtkinsRéalis. Together, we will create a workshop using a 3D model from Autodesk Forma. Then, using the provided Meta Quest VR headsets, you will have the opportunity to experience the immersive power of collaboratively walking through the model. By reviewing the model in detail and having live access to the associated building information modeling (BIM) data, you can identify spatial issues faster—issues that get missed when viewing on a regular screen or automated clash detection. Take the learnings from this hands-on lab back to your team and empower them to move successfully from design to construction more efficiently and sustainably. We will provide the laptops and the Meta Quest headsets; all you need to bring is your innovative spirit.

The airports construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from historically paper-based projects to fully integrated, cloud-based modeling and coordination. Vanderlande, a leader in future-proof logistics process automation for airports, is at the forefront of this change reshaping the future of airports! This case study of the Los Angeles (LAX) Tom Bradley International Terminal explores Vanderlande's transition to fully cloud-based projects showcasing our adoption journey with Autodesk Forma for project coordination and BIM management in this large-scale, multi-phase, brownfield design-build project. We will show how we are delivering this project with our AutoCAD/Navisworks based workflow, while transforming the way we, and our industry works by increasing coordination issue creation efficiency by up to 75%, reducing clash report generation by up to 90%, and increasing coordination efficiency by up to 50% using Autodesk Forma.

The process of managing factory design layout data and fostering collaboration between the design team and external reviewers using Vault software and Autodesk Forma to handle clashes in Navisworks software is an integrated procedure. The design team can use AutoCAD software or Inventor software to develop the factory design layout, which is then stored in Vault. Vault acts as a secure, centralized storehouse for design data, enabling the team to access the latest information, reducing potential mistakes and rework. It also tracks version history and documents updates, offering clear accountability. Once the design is finalized, it can be disseminated to external reviewers through Autodesk Forma. Autodesk Forma serves as a shared data environment, allowing teams to collaborate and exchange design data in real time. It also supports model coordination, document management, and design review, augmenting collaboration between the design team and external reviewers.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry generates a significant amount of data that helps in making informed data-based decisions and speeding up projects delivery. However, information derived from the data is only as good as its quality and may pose high risk to all stakeholders if not validated diligently. In this class, we will explore different methods of data validation, including 1) a reactive approach based on stakeholder feedback and observed poor performance signs, 2) a proactive approach involving the use of various data export and visualization methods to access data quality, and 3) innovative automated real-time validation techniques using custom tools and event-driven programming to ensure data consistency and prevent invalid entries. In this session, you'll learn about quality management and how to maximize the Autodesk Forma platform, other Autodesk products, and custom solutions developed using available APIs to validate data, ensure compliance with standards, and mitigate risks.
