State of the Art in BIM Execution Plans and the CD-BIM

This session will present the new National Institute of Steel Detailers (NISD) curriculum for the Certificate of Development in Building Information Modeling (CD-BIM) and the program's sample BIM Execution Plan. This progressive new curriculum is free online and was done in a collaborative partnership with USIBD and BIMForum. It highlights the foundational elements of BIM and additionally covers key topics such as model element Level of Development (LOD) in conjunction with the 2015 BIMForum’s LOD Specification. The course will show the fundamentals of creating and implementing good modeling practices as well as quality control and checking. It will also include the creation of shop drawings, details, erection drawings, and other fundamental elements of steel fabrication, such as advanced bills of materials. The curriculum is geared toward students as well as seasoned professionals new to BIM. It introduces individuals to the BIM industry and helps create the next generation of BIM developers and detailers.

Learning Objectives:

Discover NISD and the new Certificate of Development in BIM (CD-BIM).
Learn what is covered in the sample CD-BIM’s BIM Execution Plan.
Understand how the CD-BIM works with the AGC CM-BIM to aid contractors in construction clarity.
Discover the role of those in BIM Development and how to introduce more to the profession.
Discover the new certification process for those developing BIM.

Example of a Parametric Truss using Dynamo + React Structures

In the world of structural engineering, we are challenged to make several structural analysis models, to find the best solution, and to be the leaders in economic structure design. React Structures + Dynamo are great solutions that help with this. It speeds up the modelling process of parametric structures which are very often used by structural engineers.

Get familiar with the process by reviewing the following example.

Robot Structural Analysis Professional Course

One of our partners MasterGraphics is organizing a series of Simulation courses for the following products:

• Autodesk Simulation CFD
• Autodesk Simulation Mechanical
• Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional

The Robot Structural Analysis Professional training is scheduled at the end of March. This course is designed for anyone who plans on using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, or wants to have a better understanding of code oriented structural design.
This 3-day course will introduce students to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis. You will learn fundamentals of advanced frame analysis and code checking of structures for static and transient, wind and seismic, loads for steel and concrete. Focus will be on the strengths of Robot Structural Analysis with AISC steel design, ACI concrete design, wind analysis, and seismic analysis. Program interface capabilities will also be covered.
