This post provides a compilation of presentations made by members of PTAC Engineering for Autodesk University to elaborate on the options for accelerating precast modeling, detailing, and production.
Digitalization and Optimization of Precast Production Facilities - This class will illustrate how the collective offerings from EDGE Software, Progress Software Development, and Autodesk enabled a precast facility to adopt higher digitalization and optimization through tech- and data-enabled planning and production processes. We'll take a deep dive into how Revit and Autodesk Fusion 360 software play critical roles in planning precast production beds and servicing CAM workflows through computer numerical control (CNC) technologies. The class will highlight the efficiency gains and ROI that a real-world customer experienced by deploying these technologies.
Live Product Data Use from Revit with EDGE - This class will cover the use of EDGE for Revit to quickly mine data out of Revit software, such as reinforcing, volume, length, width, and materials. This data can then be used to populate material tracking programs, such as concrete vision for precast concrete.
Using EDGE to Detail Precast Concrete from Estimating to Production - In this class, we will look at EDGE and how this tool can be used to detail precast concrete, from conceptual design and estimating to final design and production. From providing real-time estimates to maintaining rebar naming conventions, and anywhere in between, EDGE is the platform that lets Revit users work at the fine level of detail required by the precast concrete industry.
Using EDGE to Make Precast Detailing Simple - This session will explore how you can use EDGE to detail precast concrete from concept to erection. From product take offs for estimating, to fabrication drawings and material requisitions, learn how EDGE can simplify the entire process.
Using Revit to Generate CAM Files for Automated Precast Production - In this class, we will discuss how users can capitalize on Revit software and EDGE to export CAM files compatible with much of the machinery used to automate precast production. We will take a deep dive into how these files can be used to automate rebar bending, concrete distribution, laser projection, and much more.
Optimize and Automate Your Precast Production Using EDGE - In this session we will take a deep dive into the EDGE platform to see how precast detailing and production can be optimized and automated. We will first discover how EDGE for Revit can be used in conjunction with Autodesk Revit to make intense precast detailing simple and model based. This will show the EDGE for Revit solution creating models at an LOD of 400 to make the detailing process simpler.
The Undertaking of a Complex Project - In this class I will discuss how we tackled a large complex structure using BIM. 10 Ionia was constructed on a 11,000 square foot triangular parking lot with a slight 7 foot slope in Grand Rapids, MI. This spatial problem was solved using precise layouts, precast concrete, and collaborative digital construction. The team used precast walls by Kerkstra Precast, a firm from Grandville, MI. Constructing a 13-story, 147-room hotel with precast elements with no true corners was very complex. It would have been a tall order without Autodesk products like Revit and BIM360. Plumbing and power had to be ran through from the core as new precast pieces were placed. BIM360 Glue was a crucial part of this undertaking, clash detection was a must with this project. The success of combining precast and software technologies is truly remarkable. At the end of this class I will show you drone footage of the complex structure.
