BIM technology - Building Information Modeling is used in the application "Revit", for building design and architecture. Users can start their own projects, manage buildings and structures at any stage of their construction. A model based approach allows you to work with the most complex projects. "Revit" provides a number of functions which help you design architectural objects, engineered systems, building construction, and also help model the construction process.
The start of an architectural project
"Revit" allows architects and engineers to work their most complicated projects with high precision. The software has implanted a number of tools for architectural design and construction, that were created with the help of BIM especially for specific workflows. Users can analyze and arrange project decisions with support at any stage - from the initial stages to the release of their contracts.
Calculations and analysis
The mechanism for calculating energy consumption costs for "Revit" allows you to choose the appropriate project decision. Users can take advantage of cloud computing technology on a web service called "Green Building Studio" (English version). This opportunity is provided when you subscribe to "Maintenance" (Architecture 2015, MEP 2015, Building Design Suite 2015 Premium and Ultimate, Infrastructure Design Suite 2015 Ultimate). During the process you can take advantage of energy value comparison with costs for the lifespan of the chosen project. To make the results more visible, a display is provided in a graphical format.
Calculation of energy consumption with the use of detailed models. Analytical model establishment of energy consumption of the basis of building elements is done automatically. Users will be able to send data to the cloud "Green Building Studio" to further analyze their project using DOE2.2. By the completion of the analysis, you are able to access and compare the results and rationale of the designs.
Static calculations of constructions can be made with the use of cloud technology "Structural Analysis for Revit". Calculations are made possible for several versions of the chosen model. After receiving the results of the analysis, users can make more informed decisions about any specific project from the beginning. Taking advantage of the service "Structural Analysis for Revit" is possible with a subscription to "Maintenance".
One of the many benefits of "Autodesk" is the right to use previous versions of the software that allows you to save money on upgrading equipment, and also to make the transition to a new version when you feel necessary. A subscription to "Autodesk" allows you to set up a free additional license for employee PCs, which will use needed products from the subscription outside of the workplace (on business trips, at home, etc.).
Customers with a subscription to "Autodesk" are entitled to technical support. Within 24 hours from when the client asked for help, they will get their answer from an "Autodesk" technical expert.
Subscribers have the right to use "Autodesk" cloud technologies, which include 25GB of file storage and sharing for each subscriber and the right to rendering, optimization, analysis and other complex processes in a short time on "Autodesk360" facilities.
