AUTOCAD

AutoCAD is a software application for computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting. The software supports both 2D and 3D formats. Design and shape the world around you with AutoCAD software, one of the world's leading 2D and 3D CAD design software tools. Maximize productivity by using powerful tools for design aggregation and documentation, connecting and streamlining your design and documentation workflows.

Course Objectives: After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Create a basic 2D drawing using drawing and editing tools, organize drawing objects on layers, add text and basic dimensions, and prepare to plot.
• Represent a design by creating solid primitives, solid or surface models from cross-sectional geometry, or composite models from multiple solid models. 
• Complete a solid model design by adding the necessary features to detail, duplicate, and position 3D models. 
• Convert 2D objects to 3D objects. 
• Document a 3D design by creating 2D drawings for production and visualization. 
• Communicate your design ideas using visual styles, lights, model walk-through tools, and renderings. 

Prerequisites: It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of:
• Basic design/drafting procedures and terminology 
• Basic level of AutoCAD experience 

REVIT ARCHITECTURE

Autodesk Revit software works the way architects and designers think, so you can develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs. Using tools specifically built to support Building Information Modeling workflows, you can capture and analyze concepts and maintain your vision through design, documentation, and construction.

Prerequisites: This course is targeted new users of Revit Architecture and is geared toward architects, architectural drafts persons, interior designers, design professionals, and building professionals. No previous CAD experience is necessary.

It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of:
• Architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience 

3DS MAX DESIGN

Autodesk 3ds Max Design provides a comprehensive, integrated rendering, 3D modeling, and animation software solution for architects, designers, civil engineers, and visualization specialists.
3ds Max Design is one of the tools validated by the CNRC for the simulation and analysis of indirect and daylight effects. 

Prerequisites: This course are geared toward real-world tasks encountered by the primary users of Autodesk 3ds Max Design: professionals in the Architectural, Interior Design, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Product Design industries.

Experience with 3D modeling is recommended. 

REVIT STRUCTURE

Autodesk Revit software provides structural engineers and designers with the tools to more accurately design and build efficient building structures. Built to support Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit helps you use intelligent models to gain project insight through simulation and analysis and predict performance prior to construction. Document designs more accurately using coordinated and consistent information inherent in the intelligent models.

Course Objectives: After completing this class, you will be able to:
 
• Work with structural columns and structural walls. 
• Add floor framing using beams, work with beams and beam systems, add and edit structural steel moment and braced frames, and work with concrete beams. 
• Add floors in structural models, create a roof, and add structural framing to the roof for support. 
• Add foundations to a structural model. 
• Create stairs and various types of ramps. 
• Add dimensions and spot dimension symbols, work with text and tags, create a legend with notes, annotation symbols, and legend components, and work with different types of schedules. 
• Work with detail views, add 3D and 2D reinforcement elements and detail components to concrete detail views, and work with drafting views and CAD details. 
• Work with sheets and titleblocks, print sheets, and export Revit Structure content to CAD formats. 
 
Prerequisites: This course is designed for new users and covers the basics of Revit Structure, from structural design through construction documentation. No previous CAD experience is necessary.
It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of:
• Basic structural engineering and design skills. 
 

REVIT MEP

Autodesk Revit software provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineers with the tools to design even the most complex building systems. Revit supports Building Information Modeling (BIM), helping you drive accurate design, analysis, and documentation of more efficient building systems from concept through to construction. Use information-rich models to support building systems design throughout the building lifecycle    

Course Objectives: After completing this class, you will be able to:
 
• Create spaces and zones in a Revit model. 
• Analyze an analytical model for conducting a building performance analysis, define heating and cooling loads information, and calculate heating and cooling loads. 
• Create HVAC systems, generate HVAC system layouts, and create and modify ductwork using Revit MEP tools. 
• Layout and create piping and plumbing systems. 
• Create electrical circuits, wiring, and conduit layouts. 
• Monitor changes in files of other disciplines linked to Revit MEP and check and fix interference conditions. 
• Work with callout, detail, and drafting views. 
• Create an architectural model suitable for use as a background for engineering layouts. 
• Use architectural drawings and projects as a background for engineering layouts. 

Prerequisites: This course is intended for MEP engineering professionals, either users new to Revit or for existing Revit users who wish to expand their knowledge. It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of:
 
• Basic MEP engineering and design skills 

NAVISWORKS MANAGE

Autodesk Navisworks project review software products help architecture, engineering, and construction professionals gain control over project outcomes. Integrate, share, and review models and multi format data with all your project stakeholders. A comprehensive set of integration, analysis, and communication tools helps team better coordinate disciplines, resolve conflicts, and plan projects before construction or renovation begins.

Course Objectives: After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Open and append 3D files of different formats and save in NavisWorks format. 
• Create links to object properties files and scheduling files in external databases. 
• Perform visual project model reviews using the built-in review and reporting tools. 
• Create construction simulations of a project model to check validity of construction schedules. 
• Use Animator and Scripter to create interactive animations for presentations and demonstrations. 
• Add true-to-life materials, and lighting and backgrounds to project models, to create photorealistic output. 
• Perform interference detection tests between 3D files of different disciplines to check integrity of the design. 

Prerequisites: This course is meant for new Autodesk NavisWorks users for the review, 4D simulation, clash testing and presenting of existing 3D geometry files. It is recommended that you have a basic understanding of 3D design and task scheduling software.
