Software Tutorials
The resources below can help engineers and architects learn how model and optimize their designs using Autodesk’s portfolio of software tools. These tools are available for free to students, and can enable sustainable design by providing actionable data and information about the performance of designs during the design process.
Modeling - Creating Your Design
Autodesk’s modeling tools help you explore design options in 3D. This is the basis for Digital Prototyping or Building Information Modeling, which will allow you simulate, analyze, visualize, and document your design.
Simulation - Optimizing Your Design
Autodesk’s simulation tools help you analyze and optimize your designs based on the conditions they’ll experience in the real world. Early analysis can help you create designs that use energy and materials more effectively.
Communication - Visualize Your Design
You can extend the usefulness of your digital model with rendering, documentation, data management, fabrication, and more. Good design documentation can help your designs be adopted, built, used, and maintained better.
