Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., and Asite™, a software developer of cloud-based collaboration tools, have established a partnership that promotes the automation of workflows throughout a building’s lifecycle. Users of Vectorworks® Architect software can now connect commercial information with their building information models, enhance coordination processes and maintain a clear audit trail on updates to their design through Asite’s Adoddle collaboration platform. In addition, they can selectively and securely share their designs and individual BIM worksheets with various project collaborators using their authoring tool of choice through an IFC or COBie output and a cloud-based model for the project. Asite is a global platform with offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, the Middle East, Australia and Hong Kong. “Nemetschek Vectorworks is committed to promoting open BIM workflows, so we’re excited to bring Asite’s capabilities to our users, giving them the best way to coordinate the processes associated with design

D3SCOM Engineering (D3) Sdn. Bhd.has adopted AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) and AVEVA Laser Modeller software for its brownfield projects with Owner Operators in Malaysia. AVEVA software solutions enable D3’s designers to have a clear understanding of the as-is condition of an asset during brownfield projects.  Direct integration of the 3D design model into the intuitive laser scan BubbleView allows accurate extraction of tie-in points and clash detection, and hence minimises project rework. D3 has successfully implemented AVEVA software on the Talisman Bunga Raya brownfield project earlier this year. “We compared other software vendors and found AVEVA’s offering to be the most effective solution for brownfield projects,” said Mohammad Jazli bin Rahimi, Managing Director, D3SCOM Engineering Sdn. Bhd. “We are very impressed with AVEVA E3D’s capabilities to bring laser data into live 3D models and its ability to illustrate all engineering parts in a clear, accurate and easy to use interface.

Innovyze announced the worldwide release of the V5.0 Generation of its ICMLive for timely, accurate and reliable catchment forecasts. The new release expands the ability of wastewater utilities and river authorities worldwide to harness the power of real-time data, scenario planning and predictive modeling to transform the operation and management of their collection systems and anticipate and mitigate the effects of extreme weather-related events. A powerful risk assessment and real-time decision making tool, ICMLive enables managers and operators to consider the influence of a full range of catchment factors in the management of flooding and reduction of unregulated discharges; the optimization of storage and existing infrastructure for savings on capital works; and the optimization of pumps to lower energy costs and reduce CO2emissions. The software is designed to work automatically. Once a system is configured, real-time data is continually and automatically harvested and quality-checked. This data can be derived from a number of sources, including
