Anthony A. Hauck, Director of Product Strategy, Autodesk Computation can apply to far more than recording and communicating decisions about buildings through drawings. More than 50 years ago, advanced architecture and engineering firms foresaw the potential for technology to become an exploratory partner in the design and building process. Now this potential is being realized through the intersection of captured project intent, shared expertise, known physical and regulatory constraints, and scalable cloud computing. Autodesk is investing in this future, creating a platform to capture and express building expertise in the context of project requirements to rapidly arrive at possible solutions. This session will summarize three years of research and development in generative form and highlight current customer collaborations and coming development opportunities for the Autodesk partner network.

Notas do Editor
- From the 1960s, this design, a quadrifilar helix anetnna, was used on orbital missions to space. This model was optimized using traditional methods by engineers over several decades to produce an elegant solution that maximized performance.
- In 2003 a groundbreaking development changed the design of the NASA antennna forever. Engineers developed a computational experiment that created and searched through tens of thousands of possible antenna designs, simulating their performance and progressively evolving higher performing solutions. Interesting case study because it looks like a kindergarten project but it is unassuming in its strength. The final antenna performed more than 90% more efficiently over the traditional antenna. The antenna eliminated the need for a phasing circuit. NOT DESIGNED BY HAND -THE OPTIMAL DESIGN IS NOT A DESIGN THAT THE ENGINEERS AT NASA WOULD HAVE PURSUED using traditional methods. What I think is amazing about this project is that it is one of MOST SUCCESSFUL examples of artificial intelligence in design, exposing patterns and dependencies that surpassed decades of traditional antennae engineering.
- The NASA St-5 Experiment was performed on the worlds second fastest computer at the time, today processing power many times more powerful is available to anyone with a Amazon EC2 account. Dreamcatcher leverages a Cloud Computing Infrastructure developed within Autodesk to provide a system that optimizes the speed of the search process to create and find high performing designs. These operations are performed concurrently, or in parallel and exchange data throughout the generative design process. What impact does this have for designers?
- One place where Autodesk is helping a real project with optimization techniques is airplane manufacture. The Living, a design firm purchased by Autodesk about 2 years ago, has been working with Airbus to produce a new type of airplane bulkhead with required strength at half the weight of a standard bulkhead – saving on fuel, which saves on operating costs, or increases load limits on the target aircraft.

- …and more recently from Cannon Design, using scripting to drive a building shell to minimize solar incidence and another to enhance residential occupant views.
- Sophisticated customers have already begun publicly prototyping new optioneering workflows. This example from the HKS LINE research studio shows recursive façade optimization for controlling daylighting and solar incidence.

- Autodesk Totonto is moving to a new facility in the MaRS innovation district, with The Living using a generative approach to the new office’s space layout.
- A number of factors had to be considered to arrive at the design goals (see appended slides for the math if you wan them)
- … an existing floor in the MaRS building
- Some early design results from the P+W project.
- We have many customers and other constituents already interested and making progress in similar endeavors. Most of them have already expressed interest in working with Autodesk.

- Various requirements were applied to the space, such as team proximity and amenity distribution, such as kitchens and conference rooms. A circulation form was imposed on the other requirements.
- …generating many possibilities.
- Scoring against those possibilities led to evaluations of satisfaction against the eight identified metrics.
- We’ll extend this work into an environment that will support the procedural generation and exploration of multiple design options optimized for design and owner goals.
- One customer is using Dynamo to visualize the intersection of core, shell and program.
- First, through this charter. If we can fulfill this mission, we can… Preserve our position in AEC as the market and thought leader Avoid a major disruption and competitive threat if someone else beats us with something interesting OnShape Lagoa Flux Technology is available to everyone… Data centers available to anyone on Amazon, Azure etc… Lot's of open source components to build on Low cost barrier to entry …but access to the customer base and in-house expertise isn’t. We can leverage our market position and 50 years of academic development into new solutions, targeted at first and progressively more comprehensive.
- Using a truss-configuration Dynamo graph, the team created this video showing both direct interaction with condition sliders and the automated production of every possibility the Dynamo graph can generate. In the future, such a display would include structural fitness evaluation.
- Subsequently, the team created this video showing generating, filtering, and sorting of designs generated by an arbitrary Dynamo graph.
- Project Fractal has begun to construct a client + services architecture that we’ll use to access contextual information and record goals, provide multiple generation services competing in the Saturn optimization environment for consideration by a design team. We’ll record the logic of proposal generation in Dynamo scripts for use and extension by customers and partners. Ultimately, we can broker a marketplace for the exchange of expertise as expressed in visual programming and contextual data.
- Additionally, the Project Fractal team has been working with Perkins + Will and Georgia Tech on a hospital planning research project using a real commission to explore new planning possibilities. The Perkins + Will team consists of Tyson Curcio, COO, John Haymaker, Director or Research, Richard Herring, Director of Hospital Planning, and Diana Davis, Senior Hospital Planner. Subhajit Das, our Georgia Tech co-op, is working with the P+W team in Atlanta also in conjunction with Chuck Eastman of Georgia Tech.
- Input data : csv and .sat
- Space Data Structure based on k-D Data Structure, Slice & Dice Technique, which stores each of the entities on separate nodes on the tree Mostly used to search nearest neighbor in large databases, also has application in ray tracing Finds common edges between neighbor depts. They are potential circulation routes Same for programs Redundancy check on circulations with the aid of cell grid to optimize routes
- Supplying the first graph to Project Fractal, we can see generated options on the left, coupled with the capability to edit individual options using Dynamo graph inputs exposed as sliders. The Customizer interface in FormIt Prop provides a similar capability to edit geometry using sliders to trigger changes in a Dynamo graph evaluated the cloud.
