Practical Revit course for university students
Autumn has started and so has university. Our expert engineers started to enthusiastically cooperate with universities to educate the next generation of engineers.
One of the seminars provides practical knowledge for the students. Our BIM experts provide a complete education of Revit, within the framework of the seminar called Practical CAD cognition at BME’s Department of Morphology and Geometric Modeling. Besides the theoretical knowledge they put what they have learned in practice indeed, because by the end of the semester they “build” a detached house together. There is nothing more fulfilling for a design engineer than when they see the final form of the building they have designed.
Here is a montage of last year’s assignments:
Zsolt Oláh, our BIM studio leader, teaches how to use Revit within the framework of a seminar called building informational systems at the BIM design course of BME. The students design a condominium, and they focus on both architecture and structural design at the same time. Here the emphasis is not put on the software itself, but on understanding its structure. During the course the students do not only use Revit, but also Archicad and Tekla softwares and the goal is to see the difference between them.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
