Autodesk University 2010: Show Guide

Show GuideNovember 30–December 2, 2010

Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

Introduction

Welcome to Autodesk University 2010.

As the world economy continues to recover, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Autodesk University 2010.

As companies shift their focus from survival and cost-cutting back to innovation and competitive advantage, now is the perfect time to improve your knowledge, build your skills, and expand your network—and there’s no better place to do that than at Autodesk University.

Here are some highlights of this year’s AU:• Choose from hundreds of classes, labs, and lectures designed to help you take your skills to the

next level and boost your productivity.• Explore the latest trends and technologies, from design computation to infinite computing.• Meet and talk with colleagues, peers, industry leaders, and Autodesk staff from around the

world in an environment ideal for sharing best practices.• Listen to an exciting group of speakers in the AU General Session, including Jeff Kowalski,

Autodesk chief technology officer, talking about infinite computing and innovation.• Take home new professional expertise that can benefit your company and your career.

And the AU experience doesn’t end when the conference does because you can access AU online for learning and networking 24/7/365.

On a personal note, Autodesk University is one of my favorite events of the year: it’s the perfect opportunity for me to talk with customers from all over the world about their projects, their use of Autodesk tools, and the issues they face in their day-to-day work.

Thanks for joining us at Autodesk University 2010.

Carl Bass President and Chief Executive Officer Autodesk, Inc.

Blast through your workload with the server-grade dual processor performance of a Dell Precision workstation powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 Series. And take full advantage of powerful 3D features and visual styles in AutoCAD 2011 with NVIDIA Quadro Professional Graphics. It’s not just a workstation. It’s an expert workbench.

Dell Precision workstations deliver the Intel® processing power and NVIDIA®

Quadro® professional graphics performance needed to run demanding

applications with ease. Now your team can use data-rich modeling to

evaluate new design options, predict building performance and communicate

more productively.

• Scalable options–select systems are available with up to 192GB of memory*

and 7.5TB of internal storage

• ISV-certified for 95 leading applications, including many Autodesk® Design,

Manufacturing and Media and Entertainment professional products

• Keep your software and hardware working seamlessly with optional Dell

ProSupport™*— your single-point of contact to over 75 software vendors for

fast, efficient problem resolution

* Actual capacity varies with preloaded material and operating environment and may be less. Significant system memory may be used to support graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors.

BIM software investmentsand the development ofinternal collaborative BIMprocedures rate as the toptwo areas of investment forfirms deploying BIM.*

Half of the AEC industry is using BIM - up 75% over the last 2 years.*

�Government agencies and owners are now specifying Building Information Models in project deliverables. This drivesAE firms and General Contractors to demand that consultants and trade contractors operate in an integrated,collaborative project environment.

If you haven’t already, you need to prepare your organization for BIM.

Delivering on BIM specifications not only requires innovative technology but modern workflows as well.Understanding your modeling capabilities and matching the required level of detail needed to the owner/agencyexpectations is critical for success. Considerations include:

• 3-D modeling for visualization and clash detection.• 4-D/5-D modeling for scheduling and cost estimation.• 6-D modeling for on-going lifecycle management.

Traditional design-bid-build workflows must also be changed in order to enforce new modeling practices, takeadvantage of BIM technology and deliver the right models.
