WRNS Studio

For this project WRNS used Revit and Dynamo for Modeling, and Lumion for making Renderings. They picked those tools because they were very flexible and allowed for the development of design and production of working drawings in one platform. There is seamless file transfer between Lumion and Revit using Live Sync, and using Dynamo was the way for automation and making complex geometries in Revit.

The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

RFEM provides deformations, internal forces, stresses, support forces, and soil contact stresses. The corresponding add-on modules facilitate data input by automatic generation of structures and connections or can be used to perform further analyses and designs according to various standards.

TBI Hazenberg Bouw

Hazenberg developed Vredeoord in collaboration with Sint Trudo: a special neighborhood with about 250 homes. 

Problem:

Collecting and classifying the data from the  different subcontractors was one of the challenges for  Hazenberg Bouw. Importing and converting files in different  formats was even a bigger one: bringing .IFC files to  Navisworks or Solibri resulted in loss of data and details.  Merging different Revit models (creating federated models) and model coordination (making sure all project  participants have the latest version) was another issue  they wanted to address. A coherent, integrated  workflow with their already existing Common Data  Envronment was high priority as well to improve communication during the design and pre-construction  stage. Another issue mentioned by Hazenberg Bouw was  synchronizing files from Autodesk BIM 360 to Navisworks  and Solibri - every time a new update was available, the files  had to be manually synced.  

Solution:
 
Verifi3D by Xinaps was the perfect choice for  Hazenberg Bouw’s needs as it optimizes and automates  model checking. Offered as a cloud-based SaaS, Verifi3D  allows classifying building design data, conducting  automated checks in compliance with regulations and  reporting issues real-time, all in one platform. 


Advantages Verifi3D

The building construction industry is currently undergoing a major shift globally, as it is starting to massively digitalize and standardize its design and engineering processes. A significant part of the classification and checking of building models is still performed manually, costing a lot of time, effort and is prone to error. Verifi3D bridges the gap between the design and the construction stage by automating the manual checking tasks and enhancing the quality of BIM data. 

With Verifi3D, a cloud based ( model checking solution, it's our ambition to become the spell checker of every BIM model in the building construction industry. Verifi3D offers seamless integration with CDEs such as Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM 360, and issue trackers such as BIM Track, BIMcollab and Autodesk BIM 360 Issues. All your favourite tools integrated in one place!

Bradbury Stamm

The project team at Bradbury Stamm utilized Green Badger on their Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority North / South Buildings project in Albuquerque, NM which has achieved LEED v4 BD+C Gold.

“Unless you like to do things the hard way, I would recommend that you use Green Badger for its ease of use. Especially at the end of the project and being able to export all of your reports and material cut sheets! Before using Green Badger I was having to track all of my materials and pricing using a spreadsheet provided to me in the project specifications. I have not managed a LEED project by myself before because we usually would hire a company that would manage all of our LEED projects for us. This project was a learning curve but without this program and evolving material database, it could have taken much longer to complete." – Taylor H., Project Engineer, Bradbury Stamm Construction

Populous

Allianz Field is the permanent soccer-specific stadium home to Minnesota United FC. The iconic feature of Allianz Field is the dynamic skin which wraps around the stadium. To integrate geometric control and PTFE fabric analysis, Walter P Moore created a digital workflow in collaboration with Populous as the architect. This enabled Walter P Moore to rapidly analyze the PTFE skin, adjust the driver pipe spacing so the PTFE wasn't overstressed, and then for the architect to take the new geometry and adjust it as desired for architectural form, which Walter P Moore could then re-analyze. Ultimately, the digitally controlled geometry model of the driver pipes was delivered to the steel fabricator to facilitate production of the HSS pipes.

NBBJ

Serving as the centerpiece amenity of Amazon’s new urban campus is a four-story, 65,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed “urban forest,” located on Block 19. Standing variably at 85 to 95 feet tall, the three interconnected domes feature a steel frame with Catalan-inspired geometric patterns, made to resemble sprouting, intertwined vines. The concept for the spheres relies on the well-documented effects of natural light, plant life, movement and visual stimulation on employee productivity, sleep and wellbeing. Data was employed for every step of the Spheres’ design process, from the shapes of the structure, to the delicate combination of natural and indoor lighting, to humidity and temperature controls for people and plant life, to the workplace strategy design. 

The plants in the spheres are unique species from around the world. Many of them require more daylight than is achievable in an all glass building in Seattle, so supplemental lighting was required. The NBBJ team worked with horticultural experts to understand the calculations to determine usable light from the sun and a variety of different fixtures. A custom daylighting tool was created in grasshopper to simplify the lighting calculation to allow the lighting designers to test the impact of adding or removing lights in real time. This enabled our designers to quickly craft a custom solution that provided the right amount of light in each of the planting areas with the least amount of fixtures.

Parametric tools were also created to optimize the Spheres’ structures, which resulted in a highly efficient manufacturing and construction process. The steel fabricator said significant money could be saved if the sweeping free form curved steel could be rationalized into 3 distinct radii. The engineer said that the steel would lose too much strength if the steel curved tighter than an 8' radius. The team used Galapagos in Grasshopper to iteratively divided each curve into three tangent arcs and measured their deviation from the original curves until the optimal division points were located.
A custom Grasshopper tool was also developed to rationalize the glass and steel geometry into to fabricatable pieces. Our subcontractor told us that we could reduce the cost of the glazing system if we standardized the glazing pieces within specific extents. The custom tool dimensioned the glass pieces that would not fit on the standard sheet. It also allowed the designers to push points in 2d while projecting the glass shapes back into the 3d which made the modification process much faster. Creating the tool, and modifying the glazing scheme took only 3 hours.
