GT Solutions: Digital Project

Digital Project is a revolutionary new software platform for building teams to realise ambitious building projects working through digital technologies. Digital Project products support the lifecycle of construction projects in a common digital environment, from design and engineering to fabrication, construction project management and on site construction activities. Built on high performance technologies that have revolutionised the aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries, Digital Project bring the best available digital technologies to distributed project teams collaborating on tough building design and construction projects.

Digital Project supports the development of a comprehensive project database in a contractually controlled fashion, allows teams to realise the full benefits of building information modelling including:

• Greatly facilitated visibility by project leadership into the project status, information developed by the extended building team
• Cost estimating with accuracy and confidence
• Integration of financial and other project management data with project geometry
• Dramatic reduction of errors, omissions, and rework in the field
• Up to date co-ordination and delivery of project data team-wide
• Integration between AE documentation and fabrication or construction activities
• Reduced "transaction costs" (e.g. paper printing and re-work).

Behind Digital Project is the advanced CATIA V5 geometry and information management engine provided by Dassault Systemes, that has revolutionised the automotive, aerospace and product manufacturing industries. The V5 product family includes 300 products developed by Dassault Systemes and 3rd party partners.

Digital Project products are specifically targeted toward building design, engineering and construction professionals. The broader V5 products families extend the capabilities available to project teams working on V5, and include products targeted toward data management, fabrication control, and plant and facilities management. Digital Project is natively compatible with all products in the V5 software family.

Product Line

The Digital Project product line is packaged as scaled set of base products with levels of functionality appropriate to different players on a construction team. Add-on workbenches tailor the installation to specific team members' needs.

Products

Designer
Full functionality geometry and knowledge modelling capabilities for advanced architects and engineers. Provides advanced solids, features, surfacing and wire-frame geometry. Includes component instantiation capabilities and libraries of architectural objects.

Foundation
Production level configuration. Appropriate for architectural production staff doing light geometric modelling, attribute modelling, information extraction, drawing production and data coordination. A solid base product for engineers with the addition of STRUCTURES or SYSTEMS ROUTING.

Viewer+
Project portal for reviewers. Allows review access to geometry, attribute editing, measuring and takeoffs. Appropriate for project managers, estimators and on site construction personnel.

Structures
Add on structures libraries and translators to support structural Engineering modelling and drawing generation, integrate with 3rd party solvers and detailing software through SDNF and CIS/2 formats. Detail component libraries may be extended with KNOWLEDGE TEMPLATE.

Systems Routing (MEP)
Routable systems modelling for schematic design of HVAC, piping and electrical systems. Compatible with systems Engineering and detailing products from the CATIA product line.

Knowledge Template
Provides utilities to develop libraries of intelligent design templates for standardising corporate practices. Knowledge templates can be instantiated with the DESIGNER product.
