Story
Inside Simon Property Group, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in real estate groups working out of the United States. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Simon Property Group uses Revit from Autodesk as the working layer for simulation. Autodesk makes design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Simon Property Group gets from Autodesk is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
