Streamline your AEC and BIM projects using multidisciplinary software | Webinar recap

In the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) industries, specialists use a wide range of software tools that often don’t integrate well.

What’s the result? A “spider web” of unconnected applications that can require manual data transfer between tools, leading to reduced engineering productivity and collaboration between different disciplines, difficulties maintaining design fidelity, project delays and cost overruns.

In our recent webinar, Siemens leaders discussed how many AEC companies can boost productivity by adopting a single multidisciplinary design tool to design capital assets and infrastructure. Scroll down for webinar highlights and learn the collaboration-fueling benefits of letting multiple teams use one design solution with continuously up-to-date data.

AEC industry professionals doing innovative work are burdened by disconnected software

A long-term frustration for AEC industry professionals is the lack of interoperability between software tools. Despite innovative efforts to bridge these gaps, working across tools can require additional effort, often including manual data transfers between applications.

In this webinar clip, Derek England, NX Product Manager for Siemens, highlights digital challenges faced by AEC workers and businesses.

Specialized BIM tools create data management challenges

In AEC building projects, subcontractors typically use their preferred BIM tools for their specific discipline. While these individual tools can be quite innovative, integrating their data with other BIM disciplines and completing design reviews can be labor-intensive and error-prone, particularly when managing project changes. Watch the video to learn about this process.

Use integrated BIM software to include all disciplines and data inside one tool

Adopting integrated BIM software empowers all project disciplines to work inside a single design tool with continuously up-to-date data. Learn how working in a single system accelerates multidisciplinary collaboration while improving project efficiency.

Create innovative modular buildings using a multidisciplinary design optimization approach

Leading construction companies like Max Bögl are embracing the design-build methodology to streamline project efficiency while reducing costs. In design-build projects, designers and developers are bundled under the same contract and complete project phases simultaneously.

As highlighted below, a multidisciplinary design optimization approach enables design-build project stakeholders to collaborate in real-time using a single solution to design innovative modular buildings. In these projects, known as as modular construction, building modules are manufactured off-site, delivered and assembled on-site more efficiently than standard building construction.

Embrace multidisciplinary AEC design to improve critical infrastructure project outcomes

If you’re ready to say goodbye to disconnected AEC and BIM software, data silos and complex design reviews, multidisciplinary AEC design software can be the ideal solution. 

In complex scenarios like power plant design, multidisciplinary software enables multiple disciplines to continuously make design decisions and collaborate using the most up-to-date data, greatly improving project efficiency.

Watch the complete on-demand webinar to learn how to improve critical infrastructure project outcomes while reducing costs.
