MEP Design and Engineering
The MEP Design and Engineering track presents topics that are important to MEP and building systems engineers, designers, and drafters. MEP topics are also important to BIM/CAD managers who want to learn more about Autodesk software for building information modeling (BIM), performance analysis, design, and documentation. We invite proposals for MEP engineering classes that feature AutoCAD® MEP and Autodesk® Revit® MEP software.
Classes will be appropriate for intermediate and advanced users, with intermediate classes that help users move from pilot to production. Classes will discuss how to move to a BIM workflow with Revit MEP at the core, while remaining productive by using AutoCAD® and AutoCAD MEP for increased design and drafting productivity and to create construction documentation.
Topic Categories
Class proposals should address one or more of the following topic categories:
MEP Design
BIM using Autodesk Revit MEP at the core of the design process for fabrication, estimation, building performance, operation and maintenance, and the lifecycle of a building
MEP design from concept through the entire lifecycle
Design Collaboration
Workflows for dispersed teams that leverage collaboration software, such as Autodesk Bluestreak, Autodesk Revit Worksharing, Autodesk Revit Server, and Autodesk Vault
How different products within Autodesk® Building Design Suites can be used together
Getting a first project off the ground
Methods for enhancing integrated project delivery (IPD) between MEP engineers and architects, structural engineers, and contractors, including fabrication
Clash detection using Autodesk® Navisworks®
Design Visualization
Visualization techniques using Autodesk® Showcase® and Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design
Interoperability workflows using Autodesk FBX® and consistent material libraries to transfer data from Revit to Autodesk 3ds Max Design
Design Analysis
