BIMPulse Presents ... Skema AI (in Los Angeles)

BIMPulse Presents ... Skema AI (in Los Angeles)

Wed, Oct 21, 12:30 AM
From BIMPulse®
4.9

A fan favorite is back on the schedule: Skema joins BIMPulse this October for a session on AI-assisted BIM workflows. Years of design decisions are sitting inside Revit models, details, and assemblies. Most of that knowledge never leaves the project it was built for. Skema's team will be showcasing how it can value to your workflows through proven design intelligence, accelerated through AI and computational power. Expect a technical, hands-on look at real workflows and project examples. **Learning Objectives** * Identify how Skema captures design assemblies from a firm’s past projects without contributing that data to a shared or centralized AI training model, and recognize how the Design Catalog approach differs from Revit group-based reuse methods. * Describe how Skema’s bidirectional Revit integration preserves parametric data, families, and metadata (not just geometry) while syncing design changes between the browser-based design environment and native Revit models, without the need for remodeling when moving from schematic to design development, * Explain how Skema’s model federation and analytic model extend design workflows across phases by spatially organizing and coordinating multiple source models (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, IFC) within a single project * Recognize how maintaining data fidelity throughout the design process reduces the coordination errors and rework typically introduced by AI-generated or translated geometry. * Recognize next steps for evaluating or piloting Skema, including ways to incorporate into existing workflows, how to assemble a project team, ideal typologies, and ways to define success.

Please Note: Read the directions carefully below BEFORE you RSVP "Yes" for this event. 1) This is a family style dining event, meaning we will order as a group and divide the bill evenly excluding beverages. 2) You cannot have any dietary restrictions for this event. 3) The estimated cost for this event is between $30 to $40 per person, so please bring that amount in CASH. 4) Yelp reviews: [YERORD MAS BAKERY AND DELI - Updated August 2026 - 115 Photos & 67 Reviews - 6800 San Fernando Rd, Glendale, California - Armenian - Restaurant Reviews - Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/biz/yerord-mas-bakery-and-deli-glendale?osq=Yerord+Mas+Bakery+and+Deli&dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2F) I read about Yerord Mas Bakery & Deli a few months ago when the LA Times did a positive write up on it. Then more recently, the NYTimes also gave the restaurant a glowing review. Yerord is supposed to be an Armenian fusion type of restaurant serving a mixture of deli foods like Armenian inspired sandwiches and interesting takes on classics like pistachio hummus. So come join me in Glendale for an early Armenian dinner at Yerord Mas!

Releasing insights from data: quarrying vs. sculpting When Michelangelo surveyed a block of marble, he saw a figure trapped inside; his goal was to release the figure that in his mind was already there. Research involves not only “quarrying” (obtaining) blocks of experimental, computational, or theoretical data but more importantly releasing the insights trapped within. For example, every student of physics learns about the H atom spectrum and every student of combustion learns about the 3 explosion limits of the H2-O2 system - but why these blocks of data? Because, trapped within the spectrum and the wiggly curve are critical, unequivocal insights - that energy levels of matter are quantized and that H2-O2 combustion proceeds through two entirely different sets of intermediates depending on temperature and pressure. In those two famous examples the insights and their significance are “obvious” given the benefit of years of hindsight - what important insights are trapped inside freshly quarried data? The focus of this interactive seminar is on examples of and methods for sculpting data into works of insight. Starting with the aforementioned case studies the audience’s sculpting skill will be challenged with case studies from both the presenter’s own work (some not yet published) and elsewhere within combustion research community, with an emphasis on examples where the insights were both difficult to sculpt and led to counterintuitive insights. Prof. Paul D. Ronney Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 Paul Ronney is a Professor and former Chair of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at USC. Prof. Ronney received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, an MS in Aeronautics from Caltech, and a Sc.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.

Naval Research Laboratory and a position as Assistant Professor at Princeton University before assuming his current position at USC. He was a Payload Specialist Astronaut (Alternate) for Space Shuttle Missions STS-83 and STS-94 in 1997. Professor Ronney's research areas include micro-scale combustion, turbulent combustion, internal combustion engines, microgravity combustion and fire spread. He has had experiments flown on three Space Shuttle missions.

Please Note: read the directions carefully below BEFORE you RSVP "Yes" for this event. 1) This is a family style dining event, meaning we will order as a group and divide the bill evenly, excluding beverages. 2) You cannot have any dietary restrictions for this event. 3) The estimated cost per person for this event is between $30 to $40, so please bring that amount in CA$H. 4) Menu and pricing: [Menu](https://namkitchen.net/menu/nam-kitchen) Nam Kitchen in Gardena has been around for a few years now and more recently opened up a location in Lomita as well. Their menu is mostly Vietnamese but they also have a few Peruvian dishes, so best way to describe them would be Vietnamese fusion. They have consistently been highly rated on Yelp, so I want to finally check them out and see if the food really lives up to the hype. So come join me in Gardena to try out Nam Kitchen for lunch!
