Hawkes Ocean Technologies (HOT) is an engineering, research and development organization that has spent fifteen years innovating bold, “leap ahead” technologies for ocean explo-ration. The company relies on Autodesk’s Inventor software to design both manned and unmanned systems, and is best known for designing and building the DeepFlight winged submersibles.

Founded by world-renowned engineer, Graham Hawkes, Hawkes Ocean Technologies’ focus has been on introducing the next generation of cost-effective, ultra-lightweight, manned submersibles, based on the Hawkes-patented concept of under-water flight. Since 1995, the Company has developed five generations of DeepFlight submersibles, including a 36,000 foot submersible (DeepFlight Challenger) for the late adventurer, Steve Fossett, (now owned by Virgin Oceanic) and culminating in the DeepFlight Super Falcon, a high performance, positively buoyant, two-seat craft that has accomplished hundreds of dives throughout the world for science and adventure expeditions.

With DeepFlight, HOT has essentially made the same transition sub-sea that the Wright Brothers did in air, moving from bal-looning to fixed wing craft. Instead of getting heavy and sinking, like all conventional submersibles, DeepFlight vehicles operate on the same principles as flight, and use wings and propulsion to

“fly” down to depth. This newfound capability of sub-sea flight has enabled unprecedented range, speed and maneuverability. Additionally, HOT has reduced the weight of its manned craft to 1/10th that of conventional submersibles, thus eradicating the need for costly dedicated mother ships, and enabling easy opera-tions from yacht, boat ramp, or beach/dock.

and then efficiently move the prototype through the design stages to prototyping and then production.”

Hawkes added,”Before Inventor, our projects required 10-15+ engineers. The Inventor software enables us to do better work, with far less people. The 3-D modeling takes all the guesswork out of our process. It let’s us see stress and complex geometries that we were previously blind to, as well as understand how the sub will operate in the deep ocean environment. Our efficiency has vastly improved now that we design all the errors out before we begin the build.”

So, where is the Company heading to next? With DeepFlight Super Falcon, Hawkes has proven the technology, as well as the market interest in sub-sea flight. The next step is to introduce larger version Super Falcons so that more people can experience sub-sea flight. In the next few years, look for Super Falcon dive experiences at resort locations around the world.

In the meantime, Hawkes will continue to operate his 2-seat Super Falcon for science and for adventure. The next adventure is the DeepFlight WhaleSongs expedition scheduled for the Big Island of Hawaii in February 2013. The mission is to equip Super Falcon with hydrophones and dive in the company of humpback whales, recording their haunting whale songs in situ. For people interested in learning more about Hawkes Ocean Technologies, or to join us on an upcoming expedition, please visit www.deep-flight.com or www.facebook/deepflight.

Graham Hawkes, an internationally renowned ocean engineer, is responsible for the design of a significant percentage of all manned (and more than 300 remote) underwater vehicles built for research or industry worldwide, including the Deep Flight series of winged submersibles. With DeepFlight, Mr. Hawkes successfully introduced five generations of ultra-lightweight, cost ef-fective vehicles, including the 36,000 foot submersible, DeepFlight Challenger, which was originally built for the late adventurer, Steve Fossett, and has since been taken over by Deep Sub LLC and Virgin Oceanic. Mr. Hawkes successfully founded several ocean engineering/exploration companies, including Hawkes Ocean Technologies, and is widely considered to be the leader in his field. He is currently offer-ing Flight School courses for individuals, as well as Underwater Flight experiences for corporate retreats, and is also building the prototype of a new generation of highly advanced Remotely Operated Vehicle. See www.deepflight.com for more information.

The Company has built DeepFlight submersibles for private cli-ents, including Sir Richard Branson and venture capitalist, Tom Perkins, and additionally operates several expeditions a year to bring people on their first sub-sea flight adventures. HOT also works with companies and organizations, such as Rolls Royce and DARPA, to innovate new solutions for deep ocean access. Larger organizations value HOT’s ability to think out of the box, and quickly and cost-effectively come up with game-changing designs.

In addition to revolutionizing manned undersea vehicles, Graham Hawkes has also been at the forefront of designing rad-ical n ew unmanned vehicles (Remote Operated Vehicles - ROVs). Hawkes-designed ROVS are in use by governments, military and industry throughout the world. Currently, HOT is building the prototype of a new generation of ROV for Bluefin Robotics. These new craft will vastly improve the capabilities of unmanned systems by eliminating the troublesome tether and tether man-agement system, and, in so doing, dramatically reduce the costs of working in the deep ocean.

Founder and CEO, Graham Hawkes, stated, “my goal from the beginning has been to engineer creative and cost-effective solu-tions for deep ocean access. Oftentimes, this means tearing up everything we know from the past, and trying out radical new designs and materials that ultimately allow us to build vehicles with far more capabilities than previously imaginable.”

Hawkes founded Hawkes Ocean Technologies in 1995, and has assembled a small group of employees who work collaboratively on the Company’s projects. The team consists of Chief Designer and Test Pilot, Graham Hawkes; Chief Mechanical Engineer, Adam Wright; Chief Scientist and Electronics Engineer, Kip Laws; Marine Operations Technician, Joshua Glovin; Senior Technician, Jay Tustin; and marketing/PR, Karen Hawkes. Autodesk has supported the Company since its founding, and its software has been critical to the Company’s success in developing its revolutionary designs.

“You cannot engineer these types of vehicles with paper and pencil,” said Karen Hawkes. “The Inventor software allows our small team of engineers to design entire vehicles in three dimen-sions, down to every single nut, bolt and screw, saving us money, time and resources.”

Chief Mechanical Engineer, Adam Wright, added, “Autodesk Inventor software made it possible to form a digital prototype


Written in the wrinkles and expressions of every face is a deeper story – a story that humans can see in each other but that is incredibly hard to capture and reproduce in animation. The reason for this is that the face has hundreds of subtle movements that are barely perceptible to the eye. Capturing each and every one of those movements, especially by hand, is incredibly time-consuming and therefore, very expensive. Yet it is also incredibly important, for within those subtle movements lies the key that unlocks our emotions as observers, which in turn deepens the meaning of the story for us. It is for that reason that finding faster ways of producing higher quality facial animation has been a long-sought-after goal for many animators.

Added to that is the fine balance between the story being told and the technology that is being used to tell it. Processing power in computers and game consoles is one of those technology consid-erations. This is not such a large issue in movies, where animation is rendered before it appears on screen. But in video games, where consoles and PCs have limited processing power, the amount and detail of facial animation is a huge consideration. If you’ve ever wondered why so many video game characters wear helmets, now you know.

Looking BackFor the past 15 years, universities, organizations and companies have continued exploring options for producing better facial ani-mation more efficiently. During that time, they’ve moved from keyframing to marker-based facial motion capture, to markerless facial motion capture. With each evolution, the final product has improved while comparative production times diminish and the task of bringing characters to life becomes easier to accomplish.

The first method to make its debut, keyframing, is similar to traditional animation in that a skilled artist poses the character to reflect each desired expression at its maximum point, allowing the computer to interpolate the animation arcs in between.

Keyframing can yield impressive results, but is a very time con-suming process. Some film studios estimate a four second shot from blocking to final (roughly 100 frames) takes around 50-70 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the rig, the required performance, and the dialogue. As gaming characters become more realistic, it’s not impossible to imagine them taking nearly as long.

Despite its acceptance by studios, keyframing often falls short of capturing the nuances of facial expression. This shortfall has spurred an entire industry to embark on the trek to cross the “uncanny valley”, a term coined to describe when a humanlike character is close enough to real to seem human, yet robotic enough to take the viewer out of the story as they struggle to accept the character. As larger screens, next-generation game con-soles and high definition entered the mix, the failure to achieve believable characters was literally staring everyone in the face.

Along came mocap, a marker-based system with retro-reflective tracking balls attached to the facial skin or a mocap uniform for the body, a method honed by such companies as Vicon. Mocap opened a new realm of possibilities for studios and consumers alike; but behind the scenes, mocap brought new challenges to the animation process. It can take hours to apply the markers to an actor’s face; and even then, it can miss the areas most important to expression and readable phonemes, such as the eyes and pupils, the tongue, and the corners of the mouth.

Faceware Technologies: Markerless Facial MocapOne of the pioneers of next evolution – markerless facial motion capture technology – is Faceware Technologies. Founded by a group of Ph.D.s in computer visioning and animation, Faceware uses a deceptively simple method of videotaping the facial per-formance of an actor, analyzing the performance via software, and then retargeting that performance onto a 3D model using a plug-in for Autodesk software. The results are impressive and surprisingly easy to implement, and the video, rig and model are the only data required to get the process started.

The process works like this: The actor’s facial behaviors are captured with a basic or high definition, head-mounted video camera (the Faceware Head-Mounted Camera System), recorded

at the same time as voice over, or during body mocap session. To the relief of the acting talent, there is no marker setup time and no special stage required. As for directors, they can now focus on guiding the talent, rather than an army of post-production animators. The head-mounted camera in particular allows for a complete range of motion on the mocap stage.

Once captured, the video is analyzed by Faceware Analyzer™ software, which tracks facial movement frame by frame using a combination of user inputs and complex computer vision algo-rithms. Since the data is based on video information received directly from the performance, the position of the tongue, the eyes and even the pupils are analyzed to within two pixels of movement, making it far more precise than other methods. Once analyzed, the informa-tion is sent to Faceware Retargeter™, a plug-in for Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max, Motionbuilder, and Softimage.

Retargeter lets animators set key poses on the facial rig in the Autodesk software of their choosing. They can then quickly create a relationship between the actor’s performance and the desired look and feel of their character, whether it’s humanoid or non-humanoid. This unique approach defines the animated result before any keyframes are applied to the rig, establishing cleaner, iterative results right from the start. A shared pose library lets teams of animators work on the same rig, and prevents incon-sistencies from occurring. The final result is an animated facial performance of incredible realism and fidelity, but that has been created much faster than other methods.

The Faceware Professional Product Line has been utilized in the production of over 45 AAA titles, eight feature films, music videos, stage plays, and many other applications. From The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Wolfman to Halo: Reach and Crysis 2, Faceware’s technology has left its indelible mark on the enter-tainment industry.

Facing the FutureAgain and again the industry has morphed through the changes in technology, finding new and more meaningful ways to express creativity. In facial animation, the process continues to be honed, with tools such as Faceware’s Professional Product Line and Autodesk’s animation software enabling artists to more easily

create something timeless and unique. While many artists strive to create ani-mated faces that are indiscernible from real faces, the true end game is not total realism, but believ-ability that deepens the story and draws

the audience in. With their suite of integrated tools, technology providers such as Faceware and Autodesk are poised to help ani-mators make that happen.

Project Summary

SHoP Construction is an affiliate of SHoP

Architects, a Manhattan-based firm widely known

for innovative designs that blend business and

art. Founded in 2007 by Jonathan Mallie and his

partners, SHoP Construction was established

to provide a range of services, including virtual

design and construction (VDC) services to owners,

architects, and contractors. Over the years, Building

Information Modeling (BIM) has played a central

role in the construction management process at

SHoP Construction, enabling them to create and

explore virtual designs before building. Recently, the

firm has been able to accelerate and streamline its

processes even further by hosting live model data

in the cloud with Autodesk® BIM 360™ Glue, one of

the Autodesk® BIM 360® cloud-based services.

The 32-story B2 residential tower adjacent to the

Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York, is

part of a US$4.9 billion, 22-acre entertainment,

business, and residential complex, which includes

an 18,000-seat arena for the now-Brooklyn Nets,

who are set to move to the new venue in 2012.

Once constructed, the 350-unit B2 tower will be the

largest modular building in the world.

The Challenge

Since the B2 tower is, in large part, being

assembled in a factory, tolerances are much tighter,

requiring that complex engineering details and

interdisciplinary coordination be resolved far

sooner than in the traditional design process. To

address the unique construction requirements of

modular, SHoP Construction is coordinating an

information-rich consolidated virtual model of the

B2 tower—complete with detailed architecture

as provided by SHoP Architects, and structure,

mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems

as provided by Arup, a professional services firm—

using Autodesk® Revit® Architecture and Autodesk®

Revit® Structure and Autodesk® Revit® MEP

software, respectively.

“It’s a 180-degree shift from the traditional process,”

says Erik Churchill, project manager at SHoP

Construction. “Usually, you start with a macro and

end with the detail. Modular requires that you think

the opposite way. You have to really understand

how the project is going to fit together. Due to this

requirement, the design team has to focus on the

details much earlier in the design process—such

issues would otherwise be considered further

downstream in a conventional project.”

In its role as the project integrator, SHoP

Construction uses Autodesk BIM 360 Glue to

coordinate and construct its virtual model in the

A tall order.

Autodesk BIM 360 Glue is filling a need in the industry to expedite the VDC process. We are already seeing an increase in the rate of evaluation and decision making. We are establishing more efficient workflows and improving our ability to collaborate; each is required for BIM/VDC to be ultimately successful.

—Jonathan Mallie Principal/Managing Director SHoP Construction


Glue is going to help us provide information

management services at a higher level. That’s why

we are investing.”

Mallie believes that having an easily accessible,

cloud-based model will be an important advantage

even after the B2 tower is completed. “Upon

completion of construction, the model will become

a living search engine for the building,” he explains.

“With the information that’s embedded in the

model, facilities management will benefit from

comprehensive VDC projects. Cloud applications

will help facilitate this evolution.”

The Result

Currently, SHoP Construction is focused on

facilitating the successful completion of the B2

project. Mallie explains, “Autodesk BIM 360 Glue

the most current building information. “Modular

requires next-generation collaboration,” states

Churchill. “Everyone needs to be working together

because the intersection of structure, MEP,

architecture, and design details are very unique with

a prefabricated building. With Autodesk BIM 360

Glue, the architect can easily reference structural

detail and the MEP engineer can easily reference

using the markup feature of Autodesk BIM 360

Glue. Revit users can open and resolve clashes

directly in their Revit environment.

“Before we were able to bring our virtual model into

the cloud, the process was very linear,” Churchill

explains. “A model would be uploaded on Friday. We

would synthesize the updates together and release

a PDF presentation of the different clashes or issues

to discuss at the weekly Wednesday collaboration

meeting.” The weekly review meeting is still held.

Only now the team is able to collaborate more

efficiently prior to that meeting by exchanging

hyperlinks of the model in Autodesk BIM 360 Glue

in real time.

Bringing Everyone Together with the Cloud

Bringing BIM to the cloud has enabled SHoP

Construction to significantly streamline a very

intensive decision-making process and avoid costly

delays. “Enhancing our BIM/VDC process by

using the cloud is facilitating real-time resolution

of highly detailed and technical issues related to

prefabrication and modular construction in a time

frame that’s expected for this project,” says Jonathan

Mallie, SHoP Construction’s managing director.

For SHoP Construction, having the virtual model

completely accessible to owners and other project

stakeholders makes the difference. “That’s the

breakthrough,” says Mallie. “The project team can

review the virtual construction in real time, as if

they are checking the weather online. They can

check the model without hosting the model on their

own machines. We are witnessing an increase in

the rate of decision making by each of the project

team members.”

“We view this project as breaking new ground,”

says Churchill. “It changes the whole game. When

people see what you are talking about, the reaction

and response time is that much faster. Autodesk

BIM 360 Glue has allowed us to increase our level of

engagement and efficiency. The cloud is providing

a more viable opportunity to visualize the design

process, which is very important for decision

making. It’s been a great augmentation tool that has

allowed us to realize a more streamlined, efficient

project delivery.”

Adding Value Post-Construction

“As the project integrator, we want to make

information accessible to the right person at the

right time,” says Churchill. “Autodesk BIM 360 Glue

is a great tool for executing that role and bringing

accessibility into the design process very early. The

management and dissemination of information

takes an incredible amount of time, but having

our model in the cloud allows us to expedite and

efficiently ensure that information gets to the

appropriate decision maker, which ultimately leads

to fewer changes.”

“The industry is focused on comprehensive project

integration,” he adds. “We think Autodesk BIM 360

to showing how cars could exit garages, again, without making multiple turns.

Once Fabre completed his vehicle turn analysis using AutoTURN, he incorporated a detailed swept path diagram into his plan view drawings of the apartment complex (see Fig 1).

Fabre wanted to go one step further, and show city officials visual simulations of cars driving into and backing out of the garages. For this, he used InVision for road design to animate, coordinate and sequence multiple vehicle simulations in the apartment complex driveway. He then exported the timed, animated sequence into a video file.

With InVision, users can export and save simulations in different multimedia video files using a number of standard codecs. Dif-ferent video codecs can be used to reduce video output files. The final recorded files can be opened and viewed on any computer using most video players.

Fabre’s next step was inventive: at the suggestion of Transoft Solu-tion’s technical support person, he uploaded the InVision video file onto YouTube. He then embedded the YouTube URL directly onto the plan view drawings, enabling anyone who clicked on the hyperlink to go onto YouTube and view the multiple vehicle simulations.

“My clients were amazed,” says Fabre. “It was probably more than what was expected, but it did the job.”

Another AutoTURN feature that Fabre found useful was the ability to have real vehicles represented in the swept path diagrams. In Fabre’s drawings, a Ford Focus is featured. “For the person studying the drawings, they have to be as realistic as possible,” says Fabre. “You can’t have a rectangle box backing up or going forward in your drawing; it’s not convincing.”

AutoTURN has an extensive vehicle library database for the U.S. and Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Users can also find specialized vehicles such as trailers, trucks and limousines. The software allows users to customize their own vehicles.

Currently Fabre is waiting for the second round of comments from the city, but feedback, so far, has been positive. Fabre expects the apartment project to go through the approval process smoothly.

When it comes to urban planning, “densification” seems to be the current mantra, as architects, civil engineers and urban planners design communities and homes that utilize a smaller real estate footprint, in an effort to promote sustainable development and reduce urban sprawl.

The city of Denver, with a population of just over 600,000, is no different from other major North American cities when it comes to promoting and implementing sustainable development practices.

Chad Fabre, a civil engineer based in Denver with 17-years experience, recently took on a site development project, involving the construction of a compact 12-unit apartment complex in a densely populated area of downtown Denver.

The specific challenge was getting city approval for the narrow drive way in the middle of the apartment complex. Each apartment unit had a

private garage, for one or two cars. There were, in particular, two apartment units where garage access was tight, and the Denver city planning department wanted proof that vehicles could easily access and exit the garages without making multiple-point turns.

For this project, Fabre needed comprehensive CAD software that could provide vehicle turn and swept path analysis of cars maneu-vering through constricted pathways. This is when Fabre turned to AutoTURN® to model and simulate realistic vehicle movements in tight turning conditions.

Fabre, who specializes in civil engineering for land development, utilities, and roadway projects, had used AutoTURN previously for modeling fire trucks turning through narrow streets, and tractor trailers and semis accessing loading docks.

AutoTURN was already loaded into Fabre’s 2012-version of AutoCAD® Civil 3D®. “I found AutoTURN pretty simple to use. Like anything, there’s always a bit of trial-and-error at first, but it’s pretty straight forward afterwards,” says Fabre. It took just over half an hour for Fabre to develop a swept path analysis of a car getting into and exiting a garage.

With AutoTURN, simulatig vehicle turn maneuvers is easy to do, using four SmartPath Tools that incorporate speed, super eleva-tion, lateral friction and turn radius algorithms. All simulation data can be exported to spreadsheets on standard document formats.

Fabre was also impressed that he was able to model a vehicle backing out, or moving in reverse. This was useful when it came

Project Summary

Founded in 1912 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas,

the Beck Group offers a full range of design and

construction services. Its Dallas-based architecture

group recently partnered with structural

engineering firm brockettedavisdrake (BDD) to

undertake an ambitious design project for one of

South Korea’s most popular Christian churches,

the SaRang Community Church in Seoul. Above

ground, the building features two curving glass and

steel towers joined by a sky bridge. But the most

striking aspect of the design is underground. The

building extends more than 120 feet below grade,

which allows the church to get the most from its

chosen site.

The Beck Group and BDD executed the project by

applying two key assets to solving the project’s

many design challenges: the expertise of its

multidisciplinary team and Building Information

Modeling (BIM). Using a BIM process, which was

based on models created with Autodesk® Revit®

Architecture and Autodesk® Revit® Structure,

allowed the team to capture, explore, and refine

their ideas using intelligent models from the

earliest stages of the conceptual design process.

“Autodesk BIM solutions helped us to explore a

level of geometric complexity in the building that

would have been otherwise impractical,” says Kelly

Cone, innovations director for Beck Group. “BIM

is not just about visualizing an innovative form; it

helps you turn great concepts into better, more

constructible designs.”

The Challenge

More than 45,000 people attend services at SaRang

Community Church each week, making it one of

the more popular “megachurches” in South Korea.

The church’s sanctuary only accommodated a

few thousand people, causing the church to rent

space in nearby facilities and broadcast services

to congregants. Church leaders decided to build a

new church, and purchased a 1.7-acre site in central

Seoul. Though small for its intended purpose,

the US$100 million site represented a rare find in

densely built Seoul.

Knowing the site would prove challenging for even

the most creative architects, the church invited five

firms to compete for the project, including Beck

Group, which has a history of designing religious

buildings. The team from Beck Group quickly

developed a proposal that maximized available

above and below ground space.

“We won the project based on an initial sketch

and project proposal that we had only a week to

develop,” says Rick del Monte, managing director

for Beck Group and lead designer on the project.

“Winning the work was only the first hurdle on

the project. We turned to BIM and Autodesk Revit

software to help explore and refine every aspect

of the concept. BIM helped us meet a number of

challenging cost, square-footage, and sustainability

requirements.”

BIM goes underground.

The Beck Group uses BIM software from Autodesk to design an innovative church building that extends 120 feet underground.

from the earliest stages of the project. For example,

energy analysis tools in Autodesk Revit Architecture

helped the team to design more effective sunshades

well before the MEP engineer on the project

conducted a formal energy analysis.

“The energy analysis tools in Revit Architecture

allowed us to take sustainability into account

from the very beginning,” notes Chung. “On the

sunshades, the tools helped us design them with

a vertical orientation that harmonized with the

building’s exterior. Without the analysis tools,

schedule and budget considerations might have

forced us to use more traditional horizontal shades.”

The Result

The new SaRang Community Church is well on its

way to completion in 2012. Cone points to Autodesk

BIM products and the use of Revit models in the

conceptual design stage as key contributors to

the successful design. “A great concept is one that

leads to a high-quality, buildable design, accurate

construction documents, and ultimately, a great

finished building,” he says. “Our Revit model

brought the many elements of the building together,

helping us to understand and keep improving our

design choices.”

The Solution

Working with BDD’s structural engineers, the

Beck team began to flesh out the basic concept in

the context of the client’s specific needs. Above

ground height requirements and setbacks from

the street necessitated that the parking and the

main sanctuary be underground—120 feet. The

client wanted a curving, sloping exterior similar to

the one in the proposal, while ensuring that the

nontraditional shape did not limit usable space.

The design team from Beck Group dove into

the project by using their preliminary concepts

to develop a project model in Autodesk Revit

Architecture software. Using the concept massing

tools in Revit Architecture, they were able to

manipulate the basic shape of the building. As they

made changes, the model helped provide them with

insight into the effects on a variety of factors, such

as square footage by floor and building height. To

review the concepts with the client, the team used

Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software to present

near photorealistic visualizations of the design.

“When you have a curving, sloping form,

modifications have a huge influence on a variety

of factors,” says Jay Chung, associate principal and

project manager for Beck Group. “A small change

to the slope impacts the floor area on every floor.

The massing tools in Revit Architecture helped us to

develop more than 100 iterations of the building. It’s

a faster, liberating way to work through ideas.”

Chung adds, “3ds Max Design helped keep the

clients close to the project by making it possible

for them to review more accurate visualizations.

Reviewing such realistic renderings gave them

confidence that the design was moving in the

right direction.”

Controlling Costs

The massing tools proved valuable as the team

worked to ensure the curving building did not add

unnecessary cost to the glass curtain wall covering

the exterior of the building. While the team wanted

the exterior wall to appear as a smooth curve

to the viewer, they needed to use flat glazing.

Through as many as 50 iterations of the skin and

curtain systems, the ability to link changes in Revit

software was invaluable as the team refined the

design to deliver the desired look—without adding

excess costs.

Del Monte explains, “We adjusted the shape of the

building with the massing tools until we achieved

an overall elliptical effect with flat glass. Being able

to automatically apply mass changes to the curtain

wall helped save about 1,000 hours in design time.

Using flat glass for the entire exterior probably

saved as much as $1 million on just the glazing and

mullions. Curved glass can be more complex to

work with, so there is a construction time and cost

advantage, too.”

Modeling the Structure

For their portion of the project, the team from BDD

started by developing an initial schematic framing in

AutoCAD® software. They then transitioned to BIM,

working with Autodesk Revit Structure, to provide

the Beck Group with the structural system for the

architectural model. BDD first modeled the steel

columns and concrete elements.

“The Revit Structure model provided a 3D

environment for placing the complex structural

elements throughout the building,” says Cody

Campbell, senior project manager for BDD. “We

were able to develop the structural system much

more easily than would have been possible in a 2D

environment. Simply allowing sufficient clearance

for cars in the parking garage would have been

much more difficult and time consuming in 2D.”

Understanding Performance

BIM provided the Beck Group with significant

visibility into the feel and performance of the church

ElumTools™ - A Lighting Calculation Add-in for RevitSupported Autodesk Products: Autodesk Revit Architecture

2012, Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013, Autodesk Revit MEP 2012, Autodesk Revit MEP 2013

Compatible / Supported Operating Systems: MS-Windows; XP, Vista, 7

Supported Languages: English

ElumTools™ is the first fully integrated lighting analysis Add-in for Autodesk® Revit®. The concept of ElumTools as a Revit Add-in is based on the ability to leverage content already present in the Revit model allowing the lighting software functionality to be simplified to only those tasks necessary for the accurate modeling of light. The calculation of lighting results requires surface geometry and proper-ties such as reflectance and color, luminaire locations and associated photometry. ElumTools is able to extract the surface geometry from “Rooms” or “Spaces” as defined in Revit, or if necessary, from individual elements selected using Revit commands. The Surface reflectance and color can be interpreted from the Revit materials properties and “mapped” to more suitable values if desired. Luminaire (lighting fixture) families already present in Revit are con-sumed by ElumTools and photometric file associations can be created if not already present. The final step in preparing the model gives the user the ability to assign calculation points to any surface or workplane of interest. With these steps in place, ElumTools is ready to compute the selected geometry. Revit defined Rooms or Spaces can be computed individually or as a group if they contribute light to one another. The calculation process utilizes the industry standard radiosity method and computed results are presented through a physically accurate, interactive visualization. The point-by-point illuminance results can be enabled directly in the Revit model views of your choice and all statistics are available to Revit scheduling tools for summary and inclusion in the BIM model.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

◆ Luminaire Manager – Prepare Revit lighting fixture families for accurate lighting calculations with control over source position and aiming, lumens and related light loss factors.

◆ Materials Mapping – Map Revit materials to ElumTools materials for accurate reflectance and transmittance properties.

◆ Calculation Point Placement – Place calculation point grids on Room or Space work planes, or any planar face such as walls or table tops.

◆ Calculate by Room, Space or Selected Geometry – Rooms or Spaces can be computed individually or in groups if they exchange light. Selected geometry option allows for any geometry to be computed.

◆ Interactive radiosity visualization – Calculation results are automatically presented in an interactive rendering that can be viewed in RGB or Pseudocolor in terms of luminance or illuminance.

Whether it is simple geotechnical investiga-tion, or large scale mine exploration, Carlson Geology 2013 accurately represents the subsurface geology.

Carlson Surface Mining 2013 designs the open pit and strip mine layouts. After pit and spoil polygons are named and assigned directions, 3D benched volumes are calculated based on interactive mining scenarios to create a surface mining history. Equipment productivity uses custom calendars and macros for detailed short and long range scheduling. Haul truck routes are analyzed based on length and slope to calculate productivity or truck fleet size. Other tools such as dragline range diagrams and open pit design with benches and ramps complete the module.

Carlson Underground Mining 2013 is used for mine layout and monthly updating based on surveys. Various room and pillar, longwall and panel layouts are automated for seam-less linking to actual survey of current positions. Equipment selection and calendars provide for exact scheduling and life of mine predictions and maps.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

◆ Drillholes - Import most any format of holes and create both the stratigraphic and block model. Check correlation by lining up the geologic columns in section or 3D. Run queries and reports.

◆ Geology Macros - Interactive macros can reproduce the model quickly after reviewing the correlation and editing the drillholes.

◆ Visualize from all angles - Once the model is pro-duced, it generates sections, slices and planes to visually show how the geology and drillholes relate.

◆ Surface Mine Reserves - Mine reserves and estimation reports are easily formatted and exported to Excel and others. Reserve classification details the measured, indicated and inferred results.
