The Autodesk AEC Excellence Awards competition is an opportunity for the global architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) community to celebrate the people, projects, and innovations behind the world’s building and infrastructure.

For years, Autodesk has collaborated with globally-recognized companies like Airbus, Volkswagen Group and others to explore the possibilities of generative design, helping them to leverage this technology to tackle complex design dilemmas and embrace a more sustainable approach to manufacturing.

Part of Autodesk Construction Cloud, continues to add critical features and services, including a new Europe-based data center offering for primary storage of product data, and a connection to Collaboration for Plant 3D.

This year at Autodesk University, we’re celebrating the opportunity to design and make better products while using a better cloud-connected product development platform. In that spirit, we’re announcing a new electronics environment in Fusion 360 to further enhance our customers’ capacity to innovate.

Both Autodesk and Airbus are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of advanced technologies in the pursuit of innovation and a more sustainable world. So, it should come as no surprise that the two companies are teaming up to fundamentally change how things will be manufactured and built in the aerospace industry of the near future

Today marks the start of annual Autodesk, Inc. (NADSAQ: ADSK) user conference Autodesk University (AU), connecting over 12,000 global professionals from construction, manufacturing, architecture, engineering and media creation.

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) and Virgin Hyperloop One, a leader of hyperloop technology and the evolution of how the world moves people and goods, announced an alliance to explore new opportunities in extending the value of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for transportation route optimization and improved digital engineering and construction workflows.
