Autodesk Acquires Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM Visualization Software Products

By DE Editors

Autodesk, Inc. has completed the acquisition of Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM visualization software products and related assets. The products were purchased from 3AM Solutions, a UK-based privately owned technology company that develops visualization software for civil infrastructure.

Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM technology will help Autodesk automate the process of creating visualizations for projects made with AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Dynamite VSP offers simple and efficient ways to bring AutoCAD Civil 3D software data into Autodesk 3ds Max Design software.

"We believe that every design has a story to tell. This acquisition will greatly simplify the process of visualizing complex AutoCAD Civil 3D projects with 3ds Max Design," explained Jay Bhatt, Autodesk senior vice president, Architecture, Engineering and Construction. "It will help civil engineers tell their story in the most compelling way possible—validating their designs in context and showcasing projects for public consultation and approval."

Autodesk intends to integrate core technology from the Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM products into 3ds Max Design and other existing Autodesk architecture, civil engineering and visual communication applications.
