Autodesk has launched its 2016 software portfolio, offering advanced design, engineering, and construction solutions to support the global shift toward Building Information Modeling (BIM). This year’s releases for building, infrastructure, and plant design include a range of improvements and new features aimed at enhancing collaboration, usability, and flexibility. As more governments and private organizations require BIM processes, Autodesk's suites provide essential tools and cloud-based services that help firms stay competitive and transition smoothly into BIM workflows.
Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President of the IPG Product Group at Autodesk, emphasized that the 2016 suites are designed to streamline how the built environment is created. “Today’s projects involve large, dispersed teams with varying needs,†he said. “Our 2016 solutions offer expanded cloud services and flexible licensing options, making it easier to adapt to dynamic, multi-disciplinary environments.â€
In a podcast interview, Amar discusses how subscription models are reshaping the industry, the role of the Infrastructure Design Suite in advancing BIM adoption, and what the future might hold in the next five years.
**New Features in All 2016 Design Suites**
- **AutoCAD 2016**: Offers enhanced construction tools for better coordination, as-built documentation, and improved visual accuracy. Users can now directly reference Navisworks models within AutoCAD, improving clash detection and workflow integration. The software also improves PDF export performance, making files smaller while maintaining quality and searchability.
- **Autodesk Recap 2016**: Helps integrate laser scan and photo data into design workflows, allowing for accurate modeling based on existing conditions. This is especially useful for renovation projects and infrastructure planning.
**Autodesk Building Design Suite 2016**
This suite supports BIM and CAD workflows, helping architects, engineers, and contractors create, simulate, and visualize buildings more effectively. Key updates include:
- **Revit 2016**: Improved performance, usability enhancements, and new features such as MEP fabrication detailing and enhanced concrete reinforcement modeling.
- **Navisworks 2016**: Better interoperability with AutoCAD and improved quantification tools for takeoff and model analysis.
- **3ds Max 2016**: Tighter integration with Revit for faster and cleaner model imports, along with enhanced visualization tools.
**Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2016**
Designed for civil engineers, this suite supports BIM for transportation, land, and water projects. Enhancements include:
- **AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016**: Improved workflows between preliminary and detailed design phases, with better data exchange between InfraWorks 360 and Civil 3D.
- **InfraWorks 360 LT 2016**: A new addition to the premium and ultimate editions, enabling quick 3D modeling of existing environments for better decision-making and stakeholder engagement.
**Autodesk Plant Design Suite 2016**
This suite offers intelligent 3D modeling and documentation tools tailored for plant design. Highlights include:
- **AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016**: Integration with Autodesk Vault for better project management and collaboration across multiple offices.
- **AutoCAD MEP 2016**: New tools for modeling electrical raceways and ductwork within an AutoCAD framework.
- **Enhanced BIM 360 connectivity**: Easier model reviews and problem-solving across distributed teams.
All 2016 suites are available globally through Autodesk’s subscription model, with cloud services varying by region. Additional details and purchasing options can be found at [http://www.autodesk.com/subscription](http://www.autodesk.com/subscription).
