Autodesk Revit MEP 2018 Training Course

Course Description

The Autodesk Revit MEP training course has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP system from engineering design through construction documentation.

The training course is intended to introduce students to the software's user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make the Autodesk Revit software a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The training course will also familiarize students with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take the students through the details of a full MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.

Students will gain from this course:

• Ability to work in a 3-dimensional drafting environment and create 3D models of construction assemblies and buildings.
• Ability to create a parametric building information model ("BIM" = a 3d object-oriented model of a building where each component has "intelligent" behaviors and embedded data) and extract data. This approach facilitates the creation of construction documents (plans, elevations etc.), material takeoffs and building schedules as well as performance ( building energy) analysis.
• Knowledge of options to work collaboratively on Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) projects.
• Knowledge of advanced CAD principles: Software extensions, scripting/automation, texturing/rendering, workflow methods and others.
