News for Building Designers - Updates to Autodesk FormIt and Autodesk Dynamo

At Autodesk University, two major announcements that are set to reshape the building design industry were revealed today. The first is the expansion of the Autodesk FormIt family with a new beta version available for Mac and PC web browsers, including Chrome and Firefox. This development complements existing versions for Apple iPad and Android tablets, offering architects and designers even more flexibility to conceptualize, collaborate, and share designs from anywhere, at any time. Last year, Autodesk introduced FormIt as the first BIM-based conceptual design tool for architects using Apple iPads. Once a design is completed in FormIt, it can be seamlessly imported into Autodesk Revit for further development within a full BIM workflow. This integration ensures a smooth transition from early concept to detailed design. The evolving FormIt product line now offers enhanced tools that combine sophistication with ease of use, all powered by Autodesk 360 cloud services. These tools empower users to explore creative ideas efficiently and effectively. The latest iPad version of FormIt has been fully optimized for iOS 7, introducing features like AirDrop, print functionality, and social sharing. New drawing tools, such as a spline function, allow for greater design versatility. Additionally, the app now includes mobile energy analysis tools powered by Autodesk Green Building Studio. This feature enables users to quickly assess a model’s potential energy performance based on climate, building type, and size—helping integrate energy analysis into the earliest stages of the design process.

Leveraging the power of Autodesk 360 cloud services, this feature will allow multiple users to work simultaneously on the same project, regardless of their location. Changes made in real time will be instantly reflected across all devices, enhancing teamwork and creativity. This advancement promises to streamline the design process, especially for teams spread across different offices or working remotely.

Alongside the expansion of the FormIt suite, Autodesk also announced a significant enhancement in computational design for the building industry. The integration of Dynamo with Autodesk DesignScript marks a major step forward. Dynamo, initially launched at the AIA Conference in June 2013, is an open-source visual programming environment that allows designers to extend the parametric capabilities of Revit. Autodesk DesignScript is a powerful yet compact programming language designed to help create and analyze complex geometries that are difficult to achieve through traditional methods. Now, these two technologies are being combined within Dynamo, delivering what Autodesk calls “computational BIM.” This integration brings the computational power of DesignScript into Dynamo’s visual programming interface, enabling designers to control Revit models more effectively and collaborate more closely with BIM professionals.

Isomalto-oligosaccharide

Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO), more commonly known as isomalto-oligosaccharide, is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates which mayhave a digestion-resistant property. IMO is found naturally in somefoods, as well as being manufactured commercially. Althoughisomaltose is found in some foods, such as honey, as a disaccharide, it behaves like all other disaccharides and is easily digested. Becauseof a confusion over nomenclature, such disaccharides havefrequently been described as IMO, however to truly be called an"oligosaccharide" the molecules must have a degree ofpolymerization (DP) of three or more. Historically, the bestdocumented source of IMO was found in sourdough breads whereinproper oligosaccharides are produced. IMO is currently produced bytwo distinctly different methods. One is based on a conversion ofstarch using enzymes. The raw material used for manufacturing IMOis starch, which is enzymatically converted into a mixture ofisomaltooligosaccharides. However, IMOs produced via this methodresult in a very high proportion of isomaltose disaccharides(approximately 50%) and a majority of panose (IMO DP3) as the endproduct. These IMO preparations have been shown to be highlydigestible and generally do not exhibit much if any, digestionresistance. The second method uses bacterial fermentation and bio-conversion of sugar and starch to create an IMO variant maltosyl-isomaltooligosaccharide (MIMO). Typically the end product ranges inmolecular complexity from DP3 (<10%) to DP9 with an averagemolecular weight near DP5. MIMO preparations exhibit very gooddigestion resistance and also intestinal microbiota selectivity.
