Autodesk and Trimble Create AutoCAD Civil 3D Data Exchange Tool

Autodesk and Trimble Create AutoCAD Civil 3D Data Exchange Tool to Help Break Down Barrier Between Engineering and Construction

 

Extension Enables Automated Data Exchange Between AutoCAD Civil 3D Model and Trimble Construction Solutions

 

SUNNYVALE and SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 6, 2009 — Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announced that they have collaborated to develop a fully automated data exchange tool enabling information from an AutoCAD Civil 3D model to be directly imported into the Trimble Business Center-HCE (Heavy Construction Edition) data management software. 

 

The new, free*, Web-downloadable software extension, called the AutoCAD Civil 3D Importer for Trimble Business Center-HCE, provides the ability to import DWG files that contain AutoCAD Civil 3D native design objects into the Trimble Business Center-HCE software. The AutoCAD Civil 3D model information is then used by the Trimble Business Center-HCE to prepare, manage and distribute data for use with Trimble's range of site positioning and grade control products for earthmoving, grading and finishing operations. Using the extension, contractors can realize a number of benefits, including:

 

*     Reduced data preparation time and costs: Minimizing the need to recreate design information helps reduce data preparation time and supports the faster delivery of updated design information to the field as a result of design changes, which is especially beneficial on highways projects where design revisions occur frequently.

*     Rich, first-hand information to the field: The ability to retain the intelligence of the Civil 3D source model incorporating corridor model sections, alignments, station equations, profiles, feature lines, finished grade and subgrade surface information and advanced point objects provides more detailed information and higher precision; the construction-ready 3D models can be more quickly leveraged by Trimble machine control and site positioning systems.

*     Full DWG compatibility: Improved DWG file format support (including Real DWG) allows for extraction of both native CAD data and Civil 3D model data (which would previously have been lost) delivering enhanced compatibility with the Autodesk DWG file standards.

*     More simplified workflow: Now instead of using intermediary and often less comprehensive file formats such as LandXML or basic CAD files for exchange of information between the engineer and contractor, the engineer can simply save the project and deliver the native design file without needing to think about saving the file out to an alternative format, which is immediately detached from the source design.

 

"Our new utility is a bridge that makes rich Civil 3D model information available to contractors who are going to grade the site," said Jim Lynch, vice president of marketing, Autodesk Architecture, Engineering and Construction Solutions. "With this new software extension, which transfers the Civil 3D model data into the Trimble Business Center data management software, we are bringing the benefits of a model-centric approach all the way to the job site. Before grading starts, contractors want to verify that the model they are sending into the field is appropriate for construction. That's where this new utility contributes; helping to reduce errors, save time and increase accuracy."

 

"Streamlining and optimizing the flow of data and information between the engineering design and the construction communities is a key motivation we share with Autodesk," said Roz Buick, general manager, Heavy and Highway Division, Trimble. "Our new collaboration creates a powerful data exchange extension that allows the information contained in Civil 3D models to flow more easily and efficiently out to the machine control and site positioning systems. Now contractors can take Civil 3D information and create models designed to optimize the use of Trimble site positioning and machine control solutions."

 

AutoCAD Civil 3D software, the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering, helps project teams create, predict and deliver transportation, land development and environmental projects more efficiently. AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineers explore more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance with visualization and analysis tools such as geospatial and stormwater analysis, quantity takeoff and interactive 3D simulations.

 

Trimble Business Center-HCE software supports construction data preparation and intelligently manages the provision of data to and from construction field crews. The software puts emphasis on efficient data management for multiple field crews and machines operating on a site over the lifetime of the project. Using Trimble Business Center-HCE, contractors can import, review and analyze digital design information or field generated data and easily assign, manage and track that information through the lifetime of a construction project.

Vancouver Transportation Network Project Captures Autodesk BIM Experience Award

Autodesk has announced that H5M has been selected to receive the latest Autodesk BIM Experience Award. H5M is a design joint-venture team comprising engineers from Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) and the MMM Group.

The H5M team is being honored for its innovative application of a building information modeling (BIM) process for the $2.46 billion (CDN) Port Mann/Highway 1 (PMH1) project for the Ministry of Transportation of British Columbia. The H5M team is also being recognized for its use of Autodesk software for BIM, including AutoCAD Civil 3D software, to help create a sustainable solution designed to manage traffic congestion and accommodate growth through 2031 and beyond.

Initiated in 2007, the PMH1 project is part of the Ministry of Transportation's Gateway Program, which is designed to address current and future transportation needs in the greater Vancouver area. The project is one of the largest transportation network projects currently under way in North America, and involves the construction of a new Port Mann Bridge and widening 37 kilometers of Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway linking Vancouver to the rest of British Columbia and Canada. Other onshore work includes reconstruction of 13 interchanges, construction or rehabilitation of more than 42 bridges, and the reconstruction of a complex highway interchange at the end of the Port Mann Bridge. Design and construction are expected to take five years, and must accommodate existing traffic. As of August 2009, the project design is about 40 per cent complete.

"BIM and a shared core AutoCAD Civil 3D model have helped boost our productivity, enhanced our design coordination and decision making, and improved conflict checking and overall multi-discipline collaboration," said Chris Mealing, design manager at H5M.

How Government Can Foster Digital Cities: Singapore's Example

How Government Can Foster Digital Cities: Singapore’s Example

Geoff Zeiss, Director of Technology

 

 

e-submission

 

Digital submissions are mandatory in Singapore.  Singapore's e-submission system means that when making a submission for a building permit, DWG, DGN, DXF, DWF, or PDF files are mandatory, paper is not accepted.  The process of moving to electronic submissions began a decade ago and took about four years to complete.  The organization responsible for building permits in Singapore is the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).  When a submission is received, it is reviewed by 16 government agencies, seven of which review the application in detail, and the BCA has the final authority to grant or reject the submission or ask for clarifications or modification.  The objective of mandatory e-submission is  efficiency with the objective of reducing the time and effort required to review submissions.  Singapore’s objective is  to automate the review process and is optimistic that BIM will help make automation practical.

 

BIM submission

 

Currently, e-submission requires 2D drawings with layers defined according to a BCA standard.  At the present time e-submission of building information models (BIM) is partially supported.  Architectural BIM models from Revit and ArchiCAD are accepted, support for e-submission of structural BIMs is in progress, and e-submission of MEP BIMs will be starting later in the year.  

 

More Intelligent Urban Models

 

As architects move to e-submission of BIMs and civil and utility engineers develop model-based designs for transportation, utility, and telecommunications networks, urban planners will increasingly have access to model-based digital data which will enable much more intelligent modeling of urban environments.

Why 3D Models will Drive the Construction Process

Why 3D Models will Drive the Construction Process

Terry Bennett, Sr. Industry Manager

 

In an industry conversation with Tim Tometich, GPS division manager, McAninch Corporation at their offices he stated: “Traditional processes of paper plans, stakeout sheets and grade stakes used to take up to a week to implement. Now with GPS machine control and 3D models from designers, that same size project can take hours. This allows us to reduce fuel consumption, idle time, air pollution including greenhouse gas emissions, and material waste while providing our clients with a more accurate product. We believe that starting from 3D models to drive the construction process is the way of the future.” Why should all heavy contractors care about models and BIM – well two very important aspects – time and cost.

 

Here is what McAninch has been able to do achieve:

·         Increase productivity by up to 50 percent

·         Cut redundant survey costs by up to 90 percent

·         Reduce fuel consumption (and associated GHG emissions) by 43%

·         Grade check accuracy of 98% vs. traditional staking of 45%

 

What have others been able to achieve:

·         Contractors who recently invested in GPS machine control paid for their systems within 13 to 18 months

·         70% of respondents report that GPS machine control increases their opportunities to bid contracts

 

The Net Net:  Models + GPS Machine Control = more efficient operation, reduced material use and waste, lower fuel costs, and more accurate results.  It’s a way to green heavy construction!
