Construction

Browser-based, on-the-cloud, generative modelling, that uniquely combines graphical visual scripting and interactive 3D-modelling, with the ability to use one or the other interchangeably at any time.

• Intuitive, smart approach.
• Creative people can quickly design, explore and validate variations of complex, repetitive and non-regular shapes and patterns.
• All geometry created is available for use in detailed design and manufacture.

Design and engineer detailed systems for construction in the three traditional building systems: Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP)

• Geolocate a building or infrastructure project and model the surrounding terrain to a high level of detail
• Create and manage routed systems discipline including piping & HVAC, electrical raceway and tubing systems using an intuitive and interactive user interface
• Integrated dynamic design rules during routing and part placement
• Manage and visualize complete building assemblies along with building information model attribute completeness
• Automation function to generate Spools, detailing design and customizable report definition and drawings

Deliver a truly collaborative design environment where architects, engineers, planners, consultants and building owners can work together.

• Deliver a truly collaborative design environment where architects, engineers, planners, consultants and building owners can work together to realize a building project. 
• All stakeholders of a building project can manage and execute all phases of a project from design to fabrication within a single platform. 
• Enhance collaboration across different building trades, developed specifically to create detailed Building Information Models (BIM).
• Design custom and standard parametric building components compliant with the industry standards (IFC) and virtually construct the building in its entirety before it is built. 
• Geolocate a building project and work with extensive scalability for projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.
• Skip tedious workflows by fabricating building components directly from the 3D design model.
• Avoid design ambiguity by modeling the entire building with custom or generic templates.

Design detailed building structures for construction where architects, engineers, planners, consultants and building owners can collaborate.

• Geolocate a building project and model the surrounding terrain 
• Create low Level of Detail structural models with building structures
• Perform quantity take-off, volumetric studies and clash analysis of all structural members
• Design detailed rebar layers from existing bars or with a catalog of more than 60 predefined shapes 
• Create associative construction documents from the 3D model

Review and collaborate around a construction project to coordinate all phases from design to fabrication and manage Building Information Models (BIM)

• Import and assemble building information models from various industry standard file formats
• Geolocate the construction and infrastructure project
• Manage, view and interact with building component attributes 
• Zoom and analyze different parts of the project
• Perform clash detection between different model submissions
• Mange design review sessions and coordinate various trades and subcontractors

Enable all stakeholders of a civil infrastructure project to manage and execute all phases of a project from design to fabrication within a single platform.

• Accurately create and geolocate realistic 3D terrain representations.

• Avoid design ambiguity by modeling the entire building with custom or generic templates.

• Create detailed Building Information Models (BIM), fully compliant with industry standards (IFC).

• Extensive scalability for projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.

• Deliver bundle of converters for Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Civil Engineering: Autodesk Revit Models, McNeal Rhinoceros 3D Models, Autodesk FBX Models, OBJ Models and Collada Models
• Instead of buying individual converter roles, get all the converters for a construction project in a single role

Create a defined engineering template capturing knowledge behavior parameters for reuse.

• Create features, parts and assembly templates interactively that encapsulate geometry specifications, associated parameters and relations for associative reuse.
• Define engineering template capture.
• Re-use design from all applications.
• Easily and interactively capture engineering know-how and methodology for highly efficient reuse.
• Enrich templates with formulas, equations, knowledge patterns, reactions and equation resolution.
