Autodesk Unveils 2010 Software Portfolio for Building Information Modeling

Autodesk announced new versions of its software products for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industries, which are designed to help increase industry adoption of the building information modeling (BIM) process.

Updated software in Autodesk's BIM portfolio includes Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 software, Autodesk Revit Structure 2010 software, Autodesk Revit MEP 2010 software, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 software and Autodesk Navisworks 2010 software solutions.

"In today's economic climate, firms need interoperable and flexible technology tools for building information modeling that can help them deliver projects more quickly and cost-effectively," said Jay Bhatt, Autodesk senior vice president for AEC Solutions.

"The 2010 versions of our software continue to deliver on the promise of BIM by further bridging communication between extended design and construction teams.

These powerful tools will help our customers more efficiently and productively solve their design and construction challenges and do so with reduced environmental impact."

Autodesk's 2010 software portfolio for building information modeling will help enable building designers, civil engineers, contractors and the clients they serve to more easily create and profit from digital design data and better communication across extended project teams.
