By harnessing BIM (Building Information Modeling) data throughout the process, AEC firms can create and handover a digital twin to building owners and operators. It enables projects to start digital and stay digital, transforming rich data into business intelligence. Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin technology platform.

Customers from the worlds of architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, are. As an open platform, Forge puts the capabilities of Autodesk products in the hands of developers in the form of web-based APIs and services. Access design and engineering data in the cloud with the Forge platform.Forge is the cloud platform Autodesk created to connect the processes and lifecycles for designing and making.

Autodesk moved to the cloud earlier than many PLM solution providers and the cloud-native Forge platform is central to both its technical and business future. After registering, select Create App to. (90 day free trial available).

Anagnost focused on key industry trends and AutodeskвЂ™s messaging and actions related to them. Filmed in an industrial space, Mr. Andrew Anagnost, AutodeskвЂ™s President and CEO, kicked off each day with a General Session. According to Autodesk, the first three days attendees watched more than 51,000 hours of content.Mr. Historically Autodesk has great turnouts for its in-person events, and with free registration to AUвЂ™s virtual live content and streaming sessions they expected over 100,000 global participants. Key will be engendering a broad ecosystem of Forge partners delivering their capabilities on Forge.CIMdata had the pleasure of attending Autodesk University (AU) 2021, conducted virtually between October 5th and 7th, 2021, with additional regional learning and networking sessions scheduled for October 8th through the 14th.

A $100 million investment fund to help small, innovative companies build solutions based on the Forge Platform.Based on conversations with the company, the $100 million investment fund was to вЂњprime the pumpвЂќ and it has been successful in that regard. The Forge Developer program to provide on-going training, resources, and support for a (hopefully) burgeoning developer community, including a new Forge Developer Conference, first held in June 2016. Forge as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), whose set of cloud services, application programming interfaces (APIs), and software development kits (SDKs), focused on helping software developers (and customers) build cloud applications.

Anagnost spoke of the companyвЂ™s multi-year journey to not only unlock data but to unlock the capabilities of AutodeskвЂ™s many solutions in a more granular way using APIs and microservices, all delivered on the Forge platform. Autodesk defines Forge as more than just data. Reusing a phrase common in the PLM Economy over the last 10 years, what if Forge could more seamlessly connect the вЂњtop floor to the shop floorвЂќ? Several customer videos drove home the importance of leveraging data to the fullest to empower increasingly global value chains and ecosystems. Anagnost, meeting these needs makes AutodeskвЂ™s mantra of the last several years even more important: Autodesk needs to unlock the data that resides in the myriad files produced by the wide range of software tools that support the product lifecycle across AutodeskвЂ™s three business segments.

Reese emphasized that Autodesk is working to integrate Upchain (a cloud-native product data management solution recently acquired by Autodesk) with Forge and that the same associativity can be supported between SOLIDWORKS and Inventor. This is commonplace within design tools using their own data but making that connection between applications from different providers is essential to ensure that design intent and changes on one part of a design can be accurately and immediately reflected in the impacted design elements that may have originated in another solution. The video showed how changes in the building context in Revit were reflected in the walkway design in Inventor. The example showed a building design in Revit that included a design of a walkway created in Inventor. Scott Reese, Autodesk Executive Vice President (EVP), Product Development and Manufacturing Solutions, provided an example of the parametric relationship between Revit and Inventor. During all three sessions he rightfully emphasized that this is a long-term program with some of its efforts starting to bear fruit.In session two, several Autodesk executives focused on how the Forge platform can help customers leverage varied data, supported by associative links between data produced by different applications.

The Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) team also announced that it has passed 200 ecosystem partners leveraging Partner Cards and APIвЂ™s (including Forge APIвЂ™s) to deliver strong and meaningful integrations.Ms. The built world exists in the real world and the combination of BIM and GIS is increasingly essential in our smart, connected future, as assets and other products will need to interact in real time. A new offering, Esri ArcGIS GeoBIM connects with Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro to combine BIM and GIS information, a co-branded offering that both will sell. Her primary example highlighted AutodeskвЂ™s partnership with Esri, a global leader in geographical information system (GIS) mapping, announced at AU 2017. Amy Bunzell, Autodesk EVP AEC Design Solutions, echoed this message but claimed that the AEC industry is even more fragmented than manufacturing, a sentiment with which CIMdata heartedly agrees.

Raji Arasu, AutodeskвЂ™s Chief Technology Officer. Anagnost quickly cede the floor to Ms. Colella emphasized that Autodesk is embarking on a long journey to this future and patience is necessary.The third general session saw Mr. TodayвЂ™s films and streaming programs are collaborations between far-flung specialists, ideal use cases to support with an open, cloud-native platform.

Susanna Holt, Autodesk VP of Strategic Technologies, claimed that over 2,000 firms use Forge today, ranging from small start-ups to large ISVs and SIs and even some industrial customers. Arasu said that, over time, Autodesk will evolve from a company with a multitude of products to offering a platform that makes it easier to leverage capabilities from a wide range of providers to meet their critical needs.During an AU pre-brief, Ms. Arasu stated that over 3 million customers have used the Autodesk app store which is about to get a makeover, focused on making it easier for developers to post new offerings and for customers to purchase them. She noted that the important thing is that users will have the same user experience (UX) when accessing Inventor data.

Early applications using low-code capabilities include custom sales configurators and digital twins. While low-code can be a buzzword, it is actually very important to democratizing technology. Autodesk stated that Forge offers a low-code approach to development, a phrase more common in the PLM space since Siemens acquired Mendix, a global leader in low-code/no-code development. Stephen Pester, Senior Principal in AccentureвЂ™s Industry X practice, hinted at AccentureвЂ™s plans to embed Forge in customersвЂ™ processes.

Autodesk is also working on its Product Design Extension, which will bring manufacturing process expertise to the point of work for designers, enabling them to make their designs more manufacturable as part of the design process. These extensions will be вЂњinstant onвЂќ and can be purchased within the product. The Simulation Extension allows users to access simulation capabilities with the same UX.
