The Simulation for AEC Industry Playlist is now live on SIM TV

There’s a new playlist available on SIM TV. The Simulation for AEC Industry Playlist consists of simulation know-how videos for structural engineers, MEP engineers, and architects.

The videos cover a variety of simulation capabilities:

Simulation in Action: Verification of Analytical Models
Simulation in Action: Simplified Seismic Analysis
Simulation in Action: Cladding Tool
Simulation in Action - Energy Analysis for Revit
Simulation in Action - CFD for AEC, MEP and ESP Applications
Simulation in Action: Operating Room Simulation
Simulation in Action: Simplifying Revit Components for CFD
Simulation Quick Start Tutorial

Check them out to learn how you can more easily incorporate simulation into your BIM workflows.

Simplified Seismic Analysis In Action

Seismic Analysis is the calculation of the response of a building structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design in regions where earthquakes are prevalent.
In Robot Structural Analysis Professional besides the seismic load analysis using the Response Spectrum approach there is also the Equivalent Lateral Force method.
The Equivalent Lateral Force method is an alternative (simplified) approach for determining distribution of seismic base shear force on the height of regular, multistory buildings.

Two New Autodesk BIM 360 Simulation Capabilities – Free Trial

On September 11, Autodesk BIM 360 evolved to include two new advanced simulation capabilities:
   • Mechanical Simulation
   • Air, Fluid Flow and Thermal Comfort

These two new capabilities give your customers unrivaled processing power and flexibility. Based on the proven Autodesk simulation technologies, they can run realistic, computational-heavy simulations in the cloud that they can easily share and access from anywhere.

Free Trial for a Limited Time Customers can now experience these new simulation capabilities at no cost until October 31! Combined with online learning resources like SIM TV and SIM Squad this is an amazing opportunity for everyone to get a great first time experience with simulation.

Autodesk 360 Structural Analysis for Revit – Verification of the Analytical Model

Using Autodesk BIM 360 we can conduct Structural Analysis in the cloud. Before we start analysis in the cloud, the structural model should be verified. Verification of the model before it is uploaded allows engineers to check if it is correct from a structural analysis perspective.
