Parametric or data driven design is here, but what is next? Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning might be the future.

Offsite manufacturing and BIM are comfortable bedfellows, bringing design decisions to the forefront of the construction process.

Links between different softwares facilitates the use of parametric design for bridges and other structures.

What does BIM mean for Structural Engineers and what are the benefits?

Understand the benefits of incorporating digital temporary works processes on a project.

Explore the use of digital technology within steel detailing and fabrication where it is now moving beyond BIM to incorporate AR and mixed reality.

Explore five common practical issues encountered by concrete contractors and how digital technology within the workflow can help.

Precast concrete, DfMA and how Tekla Structures can facilitate detailed design, manufacture and site coordination. Discuss.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are ideal partners, or are they? Duncan Reed explains why the construction industry should consider DfMA.

How can steel fabricators reduce the requests for information (RFIs) from site? Steve Insley explains.

Over 5000 tonnes of rebar were used to create this three storey basement using a top down approach. Tekla Structures was used to design the RC detailing for the reinforced concrete elements.

Stuart Campbell, Business Development Manager, Engineering at Trimble discussed the six ways BrIM can help bridge construction projects succeed.

What does Level 3 BIM mean for the UK's construction industry and in particular Steel Fabricators?

Most construction waste can be reduced or eliminated by adopting a constructible process.

These five steps will help you get started with algorithm enabled parametric design. Welcome to more productive and efficient workflows, and rapid iterations in the design of complex structures.

Today engineers need to be more productive and, at the same time, structural design is becoming more complex. This has driven structural engineers to explore algorithm enabled parametric modelling.

Parametric design offers structural engineers many benefits that both improve the quality of the design and streamline the project workflow.

Parametric design offers a more comprehensive and automated approach to 3D modelling but also challenges the traditional ways of structural design.
