By DE Editors

AVEVA announced it has reached an agreement with the University of Alberta, Hole School of Construction, to supply multiple licenses of AVEVA PDMS and AVEVA NET for the universitys research project on construction visualization. Dr. Simaan AbouRizk and his team of researchers will use the AVEVA software as part of their charter to develop innovative information technologies for modeling, analyzing and optimizing construction operations.

With the objective of improving construction processes and enhancing decision making, we are using the AVEVA technology to simplify our simulation modeling tools and integrate them with other construction solutions," AbouRizk said. The overall goal is to develop a better framework for the planning and control of construction projects through advancements in simulation. We are very pleased to work with AVEVA on this vital piece of research. Our students can now experience working with industry leading software while developing their own software models.
