Historic interoperability agreement between Autodesk and the Nemetschek group for the construction and entertainment sectors

The agreement strengthens the existing interoperability between the two players' products and improves fluidity between the solutions.

Whether constructing buildings or highways or producing multimedia content, using cloud-connected tools enables automation and provides valuable insights to make better decisions at every stage of the process. 'a project. But too often, people, processes and data are siled due to incompatibility of software and files, resulting in inefficient workflows.

For Amy Bunszel, Executive Vice President, Architecture, Engineering and Construction Solutions at Autodesk: “Autodesk is strongly committed to building open, integrated, cloud-based solutions for our customers that unlock data and connect project teams. Extending Autodesk's cloud and desktop solutions with Nemetschek interoperability is a big step toward optimizing our customers' workflows and helping them generate better results for their projects. »

Optimizing workflows between Autodesk and Nemetschek allows data to flow more easily from one cloud platform or desktop application to another so that information reaches the right people at the right time. Interoperability is ensured by Autodesk Platform Services (APS), a set of open application programming interfaces (APIs) and web services, which allows Nemetschek's dTwin, Bluebeam Cloud, BIMcloud and BIMplus to connect to clouds Autodesk industrial solutions - Forma, Fusion and Flow - as well as design solutions. This will enable customers and partners to connect their data and capabilities across the respective solutions so users can focus on optimizing their projects through automation, AI and recommendations.

This interoperability agreement demonstrates a continued commitment to integration and open industry standards, such as openBIM by buildingSMART, which extends the benefits of building information modeling (BIM) by improving accessibility, collaboration, management and sustainability of digital data in the built assets industry. By creating a collaboration ecosystem without silos, teams can work from the same digital model on end-to-end workflows.

For Marc Nézet, strategy director of the Nemetschek group: “Support for openBIM, interoperability and open industry standards is deeply rooted in the DNA of the Nemetschek Group. Our interoperability agreement with Autodesk is a historic step toward giving customers the ability to work in any project environment and with any software ecosystem, ultimately leading to a better-built world. »

Under the terms of the agreement, Autodesk and Nemetschek Group will provide mutual access to their APIs and industrial clouds, allowing developers to access Autodesk solutions, including AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max and Maya, as well as Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Construction Cloud, as well as Nemetschek solutions including Allplan, Archicad, Bluebeam, Maxon One, Vectorworks, and relevant Nemetschek cloud platforms. This will enable both companies to enhance existing data exchanges and open up new data-centric workflows that span disciplines and industries.
