Autodesk Extends the Power of Generative Design to Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industries
For years, Autodesk has collaborated with globally-recognized companies like Airbus, Volkswagen Group and others to explore the possibilities of generative design, helping them to leverage this technology to tackle complex design dilemmas and embrace a more sustainable approach to manufacturing.
Throughout the project delivery lifecycle of a building, architects, engineers and contractors experience and solve for a myriad of universal challenges. Each challenge – ranging from seemingly simple to complex – has the potential to trigger tedious, time-consuming and cost-intensive rounds of revisions. At Autodesk, we dedicate a significant amount of time developing and delivering solutions to those challenges, and we do it in collaboration with you, our customers.
Introducing: Generative Design in Autodesk Revit 2021.
Building on our years of generative design experience in manufacturing, Autodesk is excited to announce the expansion of Autodesk Revit to now include the capabilities and benefits of generative design technology for the architecture, engineering and construction industries. This new feature is available with the release of Revit 2021 within the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection (AEC Collection), allowing users to explore, optimize and evaluate data-driven design alternatives based on project goals, constraints and inputs.
With the introduction of Generative Design in Revit, industry professionals can harness its algorithmic problem-solving technology to explore design alternatives, identify improved outcomes and make data-informed decisions faster than ever before.
By engaging with generative design tools directly in Revit, designers can generate optimal solutions for a goal, problem or constraint within a matter of minutes. These design options are presented in a visual format for easy exploration, as well as responsive result graphs with sorting, selection and filtering capabilities.
Nicolas Mangon, vice president of Autodesk AEC Business Strategy puts it this way: “With the launch of Generative Design in Revit, we’re accelerating the design process and enabling AEC Collection users to explore design solutions for any given project, faster than ever before. Leveraging generative design capabilities, our customers may now be more confident in the design decisions they are making, optimize workflows and have more productive conversations with project stakeholders.”
