Connected BIM Interoperability: Solving Real-World Problems Designing Infra Projects

This class will cover the connected BIM workflow for using InfraWorks software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Inventor software, Revit software, Navisworks software, and ReCap software. We’ll show how this workflow can be used to take transportation design to the next level, and also we’ll highlight lessons learned while solving real-world infrastructure challenges. We’ll dig into various steps in the process, such as refinement and optimization in alignments and profiles in Civil 3D for better design in InfraWorks, customization of parametric bridge parts, and assemblies created and modified within Inventor, and how they can be easily utilized in InfraWorks—which gives more freedom and ability to fulfill design requirements. We’ll show how this workflow was used to overcome the design challenges for design-build projects and BIM interoperability among different engineering software systems.
