• Autodesk Revit
Purpose-built for BIM, the Autodesk Revit products collect information about a building project and allow this
information to be coordinated across all other representations of the project, so that every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view and
schedule is based on internally consistent and complete information from the same underlying building database. The Autodesk
Revit products, including AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite, AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite and AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite,
provide an intuitive sophisticated model-based design and documentation system for architects; mechanical, electrical and
plumbing (MEP) engineers; structural engineers; design-build teams; and other design and building industry professionals.
• AutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D products provide a surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution for civil engineering,
including land development, transportation, and environmental projects. Using a model-centric approach that automatically
updates documentation as design changes are made, AutoCAD Civil 3D products enable civil engineers, designers, drafters, and
surveyors to significantly boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation faster. With
AutoCAD Civil 3D products, the entire project team works from the same consistent, up-to-date model so they stay coordinated
throughout all project phases.
• AutoCAD Architecture
Designed for architects and built on the AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Architecture software includes powerful
Architecture industry-specific tools to gain efficiency and improve coordination.
• AutoCAD Map 3D
AutoCAD Map 3D software provides direct access to data needed for infrastructure planning, design and management
activities. AutoCAD Map 3D software helps professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power
projects to more easily create, manage and analyze design geographic information system (“GIS”) and asset data.
MFG
Our MFG segment provides manufacturers in automotive and transportation, industrial machinery, consumer products
and building products with comprehensive digital prototyping solutions that bring together design data from all phases of the
product development process to develop a single digital model created in Autodesk Inventor software. Our solutions for digital
prototyping are scalable, attainable, cost-effective and allow for real-world simulation, enabling a broad group of manufacturers
to realize benefits with minimal disruption to existing workflows. MFG’s principal product offerings included the following
during fiscal 2012:
• Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor allows manufacturers to go beyond 3D design to digital prototyping by giving engineers a
comprehensive and flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, simulation, analysis, tooling, visualization and
documentation. With Autodesk Inventor, engineers can integrate AutoCAD drawings and model-based design data into a single
digital model, creating a virtual representation of a final product that enables them to validate the form, fit, and function of the
product before it is ever built. Digital prototyping with Autodesk Inventor enables manufacturers to design, visualize, and
simulate products digitally, helping them to build better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.
• AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical software is purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical
software offers users significant productivity gains and helps save hours of design time by including all the functionality of
AutoCAD software, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common design tasks.
• Autodesk Moldflow
The Autodesk Moldflow family of injection molding simulation software provides tools that help manufacturers optimize
the design of plastic parts and injection molds, and study the injection molding process.
M&E
Our M&E segment is comprised of two product groups: Animation and Creative Finishing. Animation products are sold
as software only and provide tools for digital sculpting, modeling, animation, effects, rendering, and compositing for design
visualization, visual effects and games production. Creative Finishing products are primarily sold as turnkey solutions for
