Robobat present BIM in Practice Seminar at the BUDMA International Fair, Poland

The Construction Fair, held in Poznań, Poland from 10th to 13th March, showcased technology solutions, innovative practices and the latest industry trends alongside specialized exhibitions, seminars and presentations.

Highlights of the fair included an Architectural Forum in collaboration with the Chamber of Architects of the Republic of Poland, exhibiting technologically advanced products and structures; specific Civil Engineering Days focussing on such issues as construction law, and the current hot topic of public building energy saving regulations throughout the EU.

Autodesk Platinum Partner, GRAITEC Robobat was delighted to be invited to be part of the “BIM in Practice” seminar held at the BUDMA International Fair, on Wednesday 11th March 2015. This presentation was supported by four engineers from leading Autodesk distributor; DATech based in Krakow, participating as workshop leaders, whose exceptional levels of expertise were further reinforced by positive participant evaluation.

GRAITEC Robobat session comprised presentations of own and Autodesk products and solutions, including customer experiences from construction giant SKANSKA and the creative engineering firm, BuroHappold. This seminar proved incredibly popular with almost 70 professional engineers attending and more than half seeking additional help and advice from GRAITEC Robobat after the seminar.

Since the acquisition of Robobat by GRAITEC just six months ago, this leading BIM specialist in Poland is developing innovative software solutions to support the delivery of GRAITEC structural BIM solutions worldwide.

Advance Steel Project: Exhibition hall


Exhibition hall “P” in Brno Exhibition Center

Project location: Brno, Czech Republic
Software used: Advance Steel
Design office: OKF s.r.o.

 

Project description:
The biggest exhibition hall in Central Europe with a free standing area of over 20000 m2 (steel frameworks of 2400 tons) holds a modern exhibition hall and a new entrance to the exhibition center. The steel load-bearing skeleton is composed by trusses with frame installations on both of its ends. The west-facade, made of glass supported by the steel sub-structure, represents the window-case in contrast with the simple geometry of the latest generation sandwich-panel cladding.
The analysis model used for the structure design was continuously updated with Advance Steel. The Advance Steel model was used for creating the steel structure documentation and also for creating the fabrication drawings of the steel structure, which integrate a significant amount of cladding sub-structure parts.
One of the main benefits of using Advance Steel for this project is that the tube diagonals were manufactured directly from the 3D model exploded to ACIS solids.
Also, the documents created with Advance Steel dramatically contributed to the short creation time required for this project.

Technical information:
Weight of the steel structure: 2 400 tons
Bund-up area: 20 000 m2

Graitec Blog review for 2014


The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 30,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 11 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Positive feedback as GRAITEC launch their BIM Designers at Autodesk University 2014


The class delivered at AU entitled “Taking Advantage of BIM for Reinforced Concrete Structure” hosted by Carl Spalding, Group Product Strategy Director and Joseph Pais, Analysis and Design Product Line Manager at GRAITEC Innovation, emphasised the potential power of automation possible for creation of Reinforced Concrete Structures from a true Revit BIM model.

As a leading international software provider and Autodesk developer partner, GRAITEC is committed to delivering innovative BIM technology to address every-day engineering challenges. The preview launch of GRAITEC”s new BIM Designers software solutions (available mid 2015) to a class of almost 100 participants at AU2014, received positive feedback across the board. Utilising the power of BIM to transfer engineering data (results and loads) to Revit in order to automate “design-driven” creation of 3D rebar, drawings and schedules introduces positive disruptive changes to an otherwise traditional and manual process.

Due for release in 2015, GRAITEC BIM Designers are a new range of Revit performance extensions; powerful software designed to enhance and utilise analysis, intuitive modelling, automatic drawing and report creation directly from Revit using “single button” operations.

Watch a recording of the GRAITEC Class delivered at AU2014 or learn more about the GRAITEC BIM Designers at www.graitec.com/bimdesigners.

Advance BIM Designers – Positive feedback at Autodesk University 2014


GRAITEC’s presentation at the 2014 Autodesk University, this December in Las Vegas, was a great success, where almost 100 participants attended the class.

Key speakers for the class were:

  • Carl Spalding – Group Product Strategy Director, GRAITEC Innovation
  • Joseph PAIS – Analysis & Design Product Line Manager, GRAITEC Innovation

The main focus of the presentation was to emphasize the power of automation possible for Reinforced Concrete Structures from a BIM model in Revit that contains not just the analytical model but also the design and results data. Advance BIM Designers, GRAITEC’s new range of Revit performance extensions is set to disrupt the traditional workflow engineering and is positioned as the next-generation software for analysis, intuitive modelling, automatic drawing and report creation directly from Revit.

Although the product is scheduled to be released next year, the announcement of Advance BIM Designers was received with excitement, many attendees being very impressed with the level of automation and the design driven reinforced requirements of the product.

GRAITEC customers already have big expectations for the BIM Designers enabling them to harness the potential of a true BIM workflow centred around Revit, meaning Revit will not only be a 3D CAD tool, but a real BIM platform,which also includes analysis to manage the whole project.

Stay tuned for more updated for GRAITEC Advance BIM Designers.
