ConCntric has been specifically developed to manage the preconstruction process of a building project in a more advanced way, allowing all the stakeholders that are involved at this stage to jointly strategize on what exactly will be built and how.
Key updates include full BIM for Precast capabilities, expansion of 3D site planning, improved support for point clouds, live links to Solibri and Lumion, expanded steel connection design and automated rebar, and several enhancements to Allplan Bridge.
This review explores Trimble's collaboration platform for construction projects that is notable for the deep integrations it has with other Trimble applications including Tekla Structures, Sysque, Stabicad, ProjectSight, Field Points, and Trimble Access.
This review takes a detailed look at the features and enhancements in the new release of Archicad which are almost evenly distributed along each of the key areas of the application: Design, Collaboration, Visualization, and Documentation.
This article explores the cutting-edge AEC technology applications developed by CORE Studio, a dedicated software development group at Thornton Tomasetti. The applications including Konstru, Swarm, Asterisk, Trace, and many more for design, analysis, collaboration and visualization.
Layer is a new AEC application that was launched close to six months ago to address what seems to be an obvious need in the industry—organizing and integrating the vast amount of disparate data that is typically collected on site during the retrofit or construction of a building project.
Fender Katsalidis describes the implementation of AEC technology on the “Merdeka 118” project, a 118-storey, mega-tall skyscraper under construction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, and the second-tallest building in the world.
This article questions why we still don’t have a smart building design tool which does not require us to painstakingly model every detail in our buildings, but can automatically create much of it from a conceptual sketch using a rule-based expert system.
