BIM Management for Architecture, Structure and MEP
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an approach to the entire building life cycle. A key component in managing the BIM process is to establish a company foundation for different types of projects by creating standard templates and custom elements. Having this in place makes the process of any new project flow smoothly and efficiently. The objective is to enable students who have worked with the software to expand their knowledge in setting up office standards with templates that include annotation styles, preset views, sheets, and schedules, as well as creating custom element types and families.

Site and Structural Design
The main purpose of the Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is to design buildings: walls, doors, floors, roofs, and stairs. However, architects also frequently need to add site and structural information. This course covers the elements and tools in the Autodesk Revit Architecture software that are used to create topographic surfaces for site work and to add structural elements.

Conceptual Design & Visualization
As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, using its powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can also access space planning tools for setting up areas for rooms and also applying colors for them to show the connections. For presentations, you can create and render perspective views. The objective is to enable students who have worked with Autodesk Revit Architecture to expand their knowledge in the areas of Conceptual Design, including massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering.

Collaboration Tools
Autodesk® Revit® Architecture is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.
The objective is to enable students who have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit, to increase their productivity while working with other people on a team, either in the same firm or other firms, and while working with Autodesk Revit files or other CAD files.

Training Course Description
The Autodesk® Revit LT is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Interior Designers think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets.

The Modena Autodesk Revit Architecture training course is designed to teach you the Autodesk Revit LT functionality as you would work with it throughout the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools.

Then you learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, you learn the processes that take the model to the construction documentation phase.

The principles introduced in Revit LT Fundamentals are then built on by covering a broad range of advanced topics. Delegates are given the opportunity to complete a series of hands-on exercises to learn about site design, phasing and design options, advanced rendering techniques and creating families of customised objects and components.

Training Course Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to teach students the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Revit Architecture.

• Describe the benefits of Building Information Modeling.
• Use the fundamental features of Revit Architecture.
• Use the parametric 3D design tools to design projects.
• Add and manage views and object visibility.
• Add detailing and drafting views.
• Create construction documen­tation.

Who should attend
This course is designed for new users of Revit LT. and is especially designed to suit Interior Designers (Industry specific)

Training Course Prerequisites
• Basic understanding of Microsoft Windows, file navigation and an understanding of architectural terminology is an asset.
• Fundamental understanding of drafting concepts due to the industry specific nature of this course.

Inventor Advanced Part Modelling

Inventor Advanced Assembly Modeling builds on the skills acquired in the Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling and Advanced Part Modeling to take students to a higher level of productivity creating and working with assemblies in Autodesk Inventor Software. Begin by learning the concept of Top-Down Design for assembly creation. Planning the assembly using the Top-Down Design approach helps create clean, reusable geometry that interacts as expected with the rest of the assembly. Throughout the training guide, you will learn how various Inventor tools can be used to achieve Top-Down Design practices in your assemblies using Derive, Multi-Body Design, and Layouts. Other advanced assembly topics include Positional and Level of Detail Representations (including substitute), iMates and iAssemblies, Frame Generator, Design Accelerator, iLogic for assembly automation, and file management and duplication techniques that aim to help you become more efficient when working with assemblies. A chapter has been included on Autodesk Inventor Studio to teach you how to render, produce and animate realistic images.

Topics include:

• Applying motion to existing assembly constraints using either Drive Constraints or Motion and Transitional Constraints.
• Introduction of the Top-Down Design technique for creating assemblies and its components.
• Inventor tools for Top-Down Design, including associative links, adaptive parts, multi-body design, layout design, derived components, and skeleton models.
• Creating Positional Representations of an assembly to review motion, evaluate the position of assembly components, or document an assembly in a drawing.
• Creating Level of Detail Representations to reduce the clutter of large assemblies, as well as reduce your time spent waiting for your system to retrieve a large number of components in an assembly. You will also learn about Substitute Level of Detail Representations.
• Using the Design Accelerator to easily insert standard and customizable components and features into your model.
• Creating rendered realistic images and animations of parts and assemblies using Inventor Studio and the Video Producer.
• Using iMates, iAssemblies, and iLogic to work efficiently with assemblies.
• Using the Frame Generator to create members in a structural frame work.
• Using pattern, mirror, and copy techniques to duplicate components in an assembly.
• Link system parameters and custom parameters to an external spreadsheet file and use it to drive parameters in the model. You will also learn about custom formatting and creating expression within a parameter.

Prerequisites:

The material assumes a mastery of Inventor basics as taught in Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling.

Inventor Advanced Part Modeling

The goal of this course is to build on the skills acquired in Inventor Introduction to Solid Modeling by taking students to a higher level of productivity when designing part models using the Autodesk Inventor Software. In this course, we consider various approaches to part design and emphasize useful strategies. Specific advanced part modeling techniques covered include multi-body design, advanced lofts, ad-vanced sweeps, coils, and surface modeling. Additional material aimed at increasing efficiency is also included: iFeatures for frequently needed design elements, iParts for similar designs, iLogic for auto-mating designs, translation options for importing data, and the Engineer’s Notebook for communica-tion. It also covers some miscellaneous drawing tools such as custom sketches symbols, working with title blocks and borders, and documenting iParts. With an understanding of these tools, students can begin to streamline the design and documentation process.

Topics include:

• Advanced model appearance options
• Multi-body part modeling
• 2D and 3D sketching techniques
