This review explores FINE MEP, a complete set of BIM applications for MEP design that are cost-effective, have a familiar AutoCAD-like interface, support multiple MEP norms and standards, automate calculations, produce the required drawings and reports, and allow BIM models to be imported in IFC format.
This review explores ICL, a new technology platform for developing sustainable communities that includes tools for modeling, monitoring, and analysis. They can be used independently or integrated into a digital twin for sustainable design.
Digital twins are models that are dynamic rather than static, thereby staying in sync with the physical objects they are representing. This paper explores the technology of digital twins and its potential in the AEC industry to go much further than BIM in terms of impact and benefits.
Autodesk has just released the 2021 version of Revit, and Dan Stine, architect, author, and Revit expert, returns to tell us about the many new features in this release including slanted walls, linked images and PDFs, Generative Design in Revit, BIM 360 Design servers in Europe, and worksharing changes for MEP systems.
