Autodesk has announced a partnership with SrinSoft to improve interoperability across a range of Autodesk and third-party CAD and BIM software tools. Through the agreement users can share, via ‘seamless cloud-based data transfer’ in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), entire files or subsets of models.

At the heart of the partnership is BIMDeX, SrinSoft’s proprietary AI-powered interoperability platform, which has been integrated with Autodesk Data Exchange (DX) and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) using Autodesk Platform Services (APS).

BIMDex supports a range of AEC, manufacturing and process plant software, including Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Plant 3D, Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD MEP, Autodesk Inventor, DS Solidworks, PTC Creo, Tekla Structure, Autodesk Docs, and Microsoft Power BI.

Utilizing the proprietary BXF file format, BIMDeX supports data exchange across local file systems, offline workflows, and private clouds.

Through the collaboration customers can use BIMDeX connectors to share subsets of their model (geometry and properties) via ACC through a Data Exchange. According to Autodesk, this exchange can be permission-controlled, viewed, and bridged across hubs, making design data accessible through APS APIs.

The data exchange can be updated, versioned, and integrated into countless automated workflows triggered by events. Additionally, customers can create visually rich dashboards using Autodesk Data Connector for Power BI.

“Customers are demanding that the industry move beyond file sharing workflows, so that granular data can flow between apps and organisations, securely. When Autodesk launched Data Exchange and the toolkits to create connectors, we anticipated the need for hundreds if not thousands more connectors to meet that need,” said Shelly Mujtaba, Autodesk VP, product data platform.

“Now, SrinSoft’s interoperability business, BIMDeX, is able to bring their portfolio of connectors to Autodesk’s platform – and to many more customers. We are proud to work with SrinSoft to broaden the scope of their business through the Autodesk platform.”

The solution is built on BIMDeX’s AI technology for advanced geometry recognition, which is designed to enhance the platform’s ability to predict and resolve complex design conflicts, automate repetitive tasks, and offer intelligent insights based on design data.
