BILT ANZ 2020 | GHD’s Journey of AutomationBrenden Picton, GHD Adam Sheather, BimbeatsDesignBILTCoding and Customisation, Computational DesignAutodesk
Synopsis:
The presentation will explore GHD’s journey of Automation through to Generative Design. Topics covered will include:
Dynamo Implementation, Dynamo Graph Management,Dynamo Node and Source Code Management, An example of linking Dynamo, Civil 3D, Infraworks, Revit and Power BI to streamline Urban Planning workflows, An example of, Generative Design. This presentation would be of interest for BIM Managers, Technology Managers, Dynamo enthusiasts and Exec’s interested in business efficiencies via automation.Brenden Picton, GHDSynopsis:
This class will look at an internal project GHD recently undertook to establish the viability of using machine learning for the automatic placement of tags using several machine learning algorithms. We will look into 2 different algorithms, convolutional neural network approach using tagged images, and a tabular approach for the semantic data of the tags. We’ll step through the problem state, how we captured the data and then the outcomes/accuracy of the algorithms that we tested.
