Autodesk AI for Architects & Engineers

Hey Innovators,

Let’s talk about the evolution of design. Every day, designers and engineers are asked to deliver more housing, infrastructure, and sustainable solutions. And every day, the pressure ramps up. But what if you could work smarter, not harder? What if data and AI could cut through the complexity, letting you focus on creativity and big-picture problem-solving?

That’s exactly what Autodesk AI is doing for the AECO industry. By combining AI-powered insights with human creativity, Autodesk is taking design processes to a new level. Here’s what that looks like for you.

Next-Level Design Analysis with Autodesk Forma

Early-stage design can feel like a guessing game with high stakes. That’s where Autodesk Forma steps in. With tools like real-time Environmental Analysis and Embodied Carbon Analysis, you’re no longer left juggling endless data points. Autodesk Forma makes it simple to pinpoint sustainability choices early, cutting down on guesswork and helping you confidently hit those ambitious carbon goals.

Add to that the Rapid Wind Analysis feature, and you’re predicting and preventing potential wind issues before they even start, creating safe, comfortable spaces for everyone. In short? Autodesk AI helps turn what-ifs into clear, actionable data – the kind that drives smart design decisions from day one.

Building Resilience Faster with InfoDrainage

Let’s face it: urban flooding and water quality are pressing issues, and waiting weeks to finalize drainage designs just won’t cut it. Enter InfoDrainage’s Machine Learning Deluge Tool. This tool doesn’t just speed up design – it uses AI to pinpoint high-risk flood areas instantly, so you can design resilient stormwater solutions in a fraction of the time.

Plus, by incorporating natural elements like ponds and swales, InfoDrainage lets you boost both environmental sustainability and urban biodiversity. With Autodesk AI, you’re not just keeping pace with the demands of today’s cities – you’re staying steps ahead.

Boosting Efficiency with My Insights and Smart Blocks

AutoCAD and Revit users, we know time is your most precious asset. Autodesk’s My Insights feature is your productivity coach, offering individualized tips based on how you use the software. Think of it as the ultimate shortcut to mastering the tools you already rely on, with recommendations that help you work smarter, not harder.

And then there’s Smart Blocks in AutoCAD, taking the grunt work out of organizing and reformatting drawings. With new object recognition and conversion tools, you’re saving time, eliminating repetitive tasks, and moving quickly toward project completion – without sacrificing precision.

A Seamless Workflow with Autodesk Assistant

Imagine having an AI-powered assistant built right into your workspace. Autodesk Assistant integrates across platforms like AutoCAD, Revit, and Autodesk Construction Cloud, ready to answer questions, offer solutions, and connect you to live support. No more toggling between screens or searching for solutions – just ask, and keep your workflow moving.

AI Skills Are the Future – Are You Ready?
