PRESS RELEASE:
Autodesk
BIM 360 Provides Anywhere, Anytime Access to Building and Civil Infrastructure
Projects
Reinforcing
its technology leadership in the building design, construction and civil
infrastructure industries, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today unveiled Autodesk BIM 360, the
next generation of Building Information Modeling (BIM).Autodesk BIM 360
includesa set of cloud services that will provide anytime, anywhere access to
BIM project information throughout the project lifecycle. Autodesk BIM
360 will work with BIM solutions for design, construction and operations
including the Autodesk Building Design Suite and Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite. BIM is an
intelligent 3D model–based process that provides insight for creating and managing
building and civil infrastructure projects faster, more economically, and with
less environmental impact.
"Cloud-connected
workflows are giving our customersworldwide a better way to work with
colleagues across their organizations and with business partners, clients and
stakeholders,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president, information modeling
products. "Autodesk BIM 360, the next generation of BIM, will
revolutionize the way building and infrastructure owners, designers, engineers
and contractors create, share and use project information."
With
Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk is bringing the BIM process to the cloud. New
cloud-based services for multidiscipline collaboration that support model
coordinationand intelligent object data exchange will transform the way
architects, engineers, contractors and owners collaborate in real time and
manage as well as distribute building and civil infrastructuredata.
Autodesk BIM 360 offers civil engineers, transportation and urban planning
professionals new cloud-based servicesto collaborate between geographically
dispersed teams to explore design concepts, create and review proposals
andconduct feasibility evaluations.
“Using
Autodesk BIM 360 with the Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite, we have been
able to share our early design concepts to better evaluate feasibility on our
infrastructure projects,” said Keith Warren, Virtual Design Technology Manager
at VTN Consulting. “This has been a great addition to what we can already do
with our Autodesk products and has extended our ability to share even the
largest models more efficiently with remote teams.”
Autodesk recently announced the acquisition of Vela Systems, a
provider of cloud and mobile field management software for the construction
industry. The combination of the Vela technology with Autodesk BIM 360
will bring the BIM process to the project site, helping contractors to automate field processes such as
quality, safety and commissioning checklists and distribution of plans and
drawings. Autodesk BIM 360 can also helpimprove project outcomes by
moving computational intensive tasks to the cloud, allowing rapid visualization
with rendering services and the ability to simulate early and often with energy
and structural analysis services. Autodesk BIM 360 will also help support
the project handover and lifecycle by providing intelligent information to
building and infrastructure owners for operations and maintenance.
“Time is
money, especially in the construction world and every owner wants more value
for their money. Autodesk BIM 360 is a key tool that helps us accomplish this,”
said Weston Tanner, Virtual Construction Manager, The Walsh Group
The
launch of Autodesk BIM 360 marks an important expansion of Autodesk 360, a
cloud-based platform that enables customers to harness the vast computing power
available in the cloud to transform the way they design, visualize and simulate
their ideas and share their work. Earlier this year, the company launched Autodesk PLM 360
lifecycle management software, a cloud service that enables manufacturers
to better access and manage product information to help continuously improve
the products they design and manufacture, followed by a range of new Autodesk
360 services for Autodesk Design and Creation Suite customers. Since
launching Autodesk 360 in September 2011, nearly nine million users have
accessed the services.
Availability
Autodesk BIM 360are now avaialble in English, and will be
available in the near future in other languages. Some services may be
available exclusively for Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2013 and
Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013 subscription customers. Customers may
contact their local reseller or visit www.autodesk.com/bim360vto learn more.
About
Autodesk BIM Solutions
BIM is an
intelligent model–based process that provides insight for creating and managing
building and infrastructure projects faster, more economically and with less
environmental impact. Autodesk BIM solutions for building and infrastructure
lifecycles are based on intelligent models created with Autodesk Revit
software products and AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Helping to expand the
benefits of BIM is a powerful set of complementary solutions for visualizing
and simulating projects virtually, documentation and professional drafting, and
data management and collaboration. Autodesk
Building Design Suite 2013, Autodesk
Infrastructure Design Suite 2013 and Autodesk
Plant Design Suite 2013 offer comprehensive sets of tools to support BIM
workflows in single, cost-effective packages.
