GRAITEC Advance BIM Designers combine analysis, intuitive modelling and automatic drawing and report creation directly from within the Revit environment. The power to automate and control complex manual design-based processes, bridges the ‘analytical and detailed model data-sharing’ gap between engineers and designers. GRAITEC Advance BIM Designers represent the core BIM concept of a ‘single-model’ approach and are set to lead the next-generation of BIM software applications for automation, design optimization and complete interoperability.

GRAITEC has been at the forefront of software development for over 30 years, with their innovative BIM technology considerably increasing productivity, capability, accuracy and safety across the AEC industry and the new range of Advance BIM Designers are tipped to take this to the next level.

Autodesk University 2014 will be held at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas on Tuesday 2nd to Thursday 4th December.

If you are attending AU2014 why not join our class “SE6512- Take advantage of BIM for reinforced concrete structures” to learn what the future of BIM automation will look like.
