Fluids are all around us. From a simple chair in a room to a sophisticated datacenter hosting cloud computing services, fluids interact with and affect the performance of nearly everything we create, use, and occupy. Len Whitehead, of the Autodesk Simulation Team discusses how...
How can a designer’s intention improve the environmental impacts of user behavior and lead to a more sustainable world? The Design With Intent toolkit is a powerful tool for helping to achieve this goal.
It’s easier than ever to make real, physical things from scratch. In this webcast conversation, Autodesk's Jesse Harrington and Dawn Danby talk about ideas as diverse as local manufacturing, sharing networks, and material choices in 3D printing.
Autodesk’s Simulation products can help analyze heat transfer, fluid flows, and mechanical stresses. When used well, they can help you create designs that use energy and materials more effectively. This webinar shows you how!
Shakeel Mirza, Autodesk Technical Consultant explores the benefits of using simulation to create digital prototypes and save both time and money when creating even complex products.
The iPhone 5 came out just this past weekend, and in the first three days Apple sold about 5 million of them. This sounds like a great success, but is there a problem with the durability of the new product? What do we even mean when we talk about durability?
We at the Autodesk Sustainability Workshop are trying to influence architecture and engineering practice through education. One exciting thing we’ve been delving into recently is workflows for high performance building design.
Get a "behind the scenes look" at the Autodesk Green Building Certificate currently under development. It is an online course that teaches the use of Autodesk building performance analysis tools, and focuses on providing a foundation in building science and design-...
With powerful software tools, why do we even need to do initial calculations? The main reason is ensuring that you can actually build what you propose. See examples of the importance of calculation here.
Adam Menter and Kyle Wiens discuss the need to design for repair, the history of iFixIt, design resources available on this site, some good and bad examples of repair, and the design competition.
