This session will outline a workflow for creating a Revit model of a steel composite cable stay bridge by using a combo of Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Informed Design for Inventor software. Modeling a bridge structure poses challenges due to its complex geometry, which adheres to a vertical, horizontal, and super-elevated roadway profile. Consequently, the steel girders, beams, and connection details must align with this 3D roadway profile, complicating the creation and placement of Revit families. For this challenge, COWI used Grasshopper and Dynamo to automate the creation of steel geometry, parameters, and insertion points, ensuring accurate orientation for family placement. Additionally, Informed Design was used to transform various iterations of intricate steel connections into families, which were then positioned using a Dynamo workflow. The integration of visual programming and Informed Design has been vital in efficiently producing complex bridge structures with a focus on automation.

Join some of the industry's leading infrastructure owners as we discuss their unique experiences, challenges, and lessons learned while developing and managing data to meet the 365/24/7 demands of an infrastructure owner and their overall journeys to a true and trustworthy digital twin. Data plays a critical role in ensuring accurate representation of an airport's physical conditions and operational (and financial) readiness. Inaccurate, outdated, and duplicated data can compromise the effectiveness of an owner's ability to support decision making and operational, maintenance, and financial planning. When trusted and readily available, quality data allows stakeholders to gain valuable insights into the operations, identify bottlenecks, optimize processes, and make informed decisions.

The infrastructure design industry has long struggled to minimize environmental impact. Traditional processes cause inefficiencies, hindering early-stage sustainability prioritization. ORIS and Sweco solved this by embedding ORIS's carbon assessment and emissions modeling capabilities into Autodesk Civil 3D software. ORIS's certified calculator streamlines processes, providing comprehensive impact assessments and quantifying embodied carbon emissions for road designs. The innovative plug-in connects drawings to local material sites in ORIS, empowering whole-lifecycle carbon assessments with visualized supply chains. It automates geolocated project generation linked to ORIS's database, identifies quantities per 3D object for bills of materials, and generates accurate carbon footprints based on required materials. Designers can make informed sustainable-sourcing decisions, reducing emissions while promoting local solutions and recycling. This integration solves long-standing sustainability challenges.

Designing timber connections is critical to ensure the structural integrity of timber constructions. An artificial system for designing timber connections would typically involve a combination of computational algorithms, databases of material properties, and engineering principles. Integrating AI systems with a code-checking system in Revit software allows engineers to explore different solutions and be certain of compliance with calculation regulations. Grouping and optimizing nodes, analyzing new node solutions, and automatically creating calculation reports in Revit can greatly reduce modeling and analysis efforts. We will also present a system capable of inserting nodes automatically and designing them according to the calculation actions present in Revit.

We will show users the basics of corridor design. Starting from scratch we will transform a blank drawing into a finished corridor model with earthwork quantities, material quantities, and a 3D surface model for grading. We will show users how to create cross sections with earthwork and material quantities dynamically displayed for easy quantity backup documentation. Too many times users will start off without planning ahead for project anomalies, changes, edits, or design changes. This class will help them setup and plan for a large share of these to avoid project downtime, lost work, lost profit, and loss of work.

Corridors can be as complex or simple as our design demands.
