Expanded Toolsets and Automated Workflows Help Solve Design Challenges;
Autodesk 360 Adds Enhanced Cloud Rendering, Simulation and Analysis
Services
SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 27, 2012--
Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) launched the company’s 2013 portfolio of design,
engineering and entertainment software, including the latest design and
creation suites. The suites provide expanded toolsets and new automated
suites workflows for building, entertainment, engineering, construction,
infrastructure, product, plant and factory design. The 2013 design
suites connect the desktop to Autodesk 360, a cloud computing platform
that enables customers to dramatically improve the way they work by
providing the ability to store, edit and share their designs and access
virtually infinite computing power anytime, anywhere.
“Last year, we introduced Autodesk design and creation suites and cloud
services, and have seen a tremendous response from our customers. The
2013 suites are a major step forward to a cohesive and interconnected
product family,” said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk senior vice president of
Industry Strategy and Marketing. “The tools in the suites now work more
seamlessly with each other and with the cloud, offering tremendous value
by opening new ways for our customers to solve their most complex design
and engineering challenges.”
The new Autodesk 2013 design and creation suites feature in-product,
customizable one-click workflows and improved interoperability, making
it much easier to connect design and visualization tasks. This gives
users the ability to better communicate their design intent visually. In
addition, the 2013 suites offer a consistent user experience across the
software in the suite and in Autodesk 360 -- making it easier to learn
new tools and services, and adopt them in the design workflow.
“The advantage of using an Autodesk design suite is that it offers us a
variety of tools, and we can pick and choose the most appropriate
solution for the project and for the client,” said Phillip Ra, senior
designer, Cannon Design.
Autodesk
360 (formerly known as Autodesk Cloud) now provides even more cloud
benefits to Autodesk
Subscription customers, including additional cloud storage and the
ability to access cloud services for rendering, simulation, design
optimization and energy analysis. Subscription customers now have up to
25 MB of storage and between 100 and 500 Autodesk Cloud Units per user,
based on the suite edition they purchased. Combining the power and
capability of Autodesk 360 with the enhanced workflows of Autodesk
design suites give customers a competitive edge to respond to changing
business requirements.
