With a portfolio of over 100 software products, Autodesk® has a wide selection of technological tools to aid architects and engineers in the development of their projects. The Autodesk Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Collection features software programs curated specifically for those industries.
CTC Software is the premier software development company for Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Revit® and Civil Information Modeling (CIM) for Civil 3D® services, offering suites, among other products and services.
Further, through HIVE, a content management system, CTC Software integrates aspects of Autodesk to facilitate remote work opportunities for professional architects and engineers who, traditionally, are brick-and-mortar incarnate.
Which Autodesk Programs Help Architects and Engineers Work Remotely?
Autodesk is both loved and critiqued for its vast array of software, which includes programs fashioned especially for industries ranging from factory piping to car manufacturing to computer numerical control machines and even to Hollywood. For the architectural and engineering sectors alone, Autodesk has identified 68 separate products.
However, the two programs most relevant to those industries are Autodesk Revit (for architects) and Autodesk Civil 3D (for engineers). Using Autodesk Revit, architects can design and easily revise 3-D renditions of buildings digitally. This software enables architectural planning and tracking of plan-related data. Similarly, Autodesk Civil 3D gives engineers the ability to represent their work three-dimensionally and track the lifecycle of a given venture.
These Autodesk offerings replace pencils and tangible blueprints with mice and 3-D representations. But, Autodesk Forge® is the cornerstone product for making remote work accessible to architects and engineers.
What Is BIM/CIM, and How Does It Facilitate Working from Home?
Building Information Modeling or BIM, a term typically associated with the architectural industry, describes the comprehensive creation and management of information regarding a building project. The analog for engineers is known as Civil Information Modeling or CIM. These digitized modeling processes are made collaborative through the use of computer intelligence and cloud technology.
Intelligent computer systems, inspired by the human brain, promote “deep learning,” an activity that lies at the heart of AI. Combined with computational intelligence, “The Cloud” broadens efficient teamwork amongst architects, engineers, construction managers, and other partners and stakeholders.
Autodesk Forge, in particular, supports work-from-home possibilities for architecture and engineering experts via its cloud foundation. It establishes “a platform” allowing “you to integrate” not only web-hosted Autodesk programs but also elements of specified Autodesk software “into your own web or mobile applications.” This invites project customization by infusing components of Autodesk software through an internet-based medium.
How Does CTC Software Assist Remote Work for Architects and Engineers?
CTC Software marries BIM and CIM with Autodesk capabilities to foster collaboration, empowering architects and engineers to work from the comfort of their own homes.
As a software development company, CTC Software meets the needs of their clients in the architectural and engineering fields by designing solutions that blend components of Autodesk products with collaborative channels, such as Autodesk Forge, add-ins (e.g., those available in the BIM Project Suite™), and HIVE.
