Greetings
We, FORUM8, succeeded in closing their 28th
fiscal year with record high sales. Although we incurred a big loss in the
fiscal year in which Japan was afflicted by big earthquake struck, we sprung
back quickly, earning more revenue and profit than the previous year for the
following 3 consecutive fiscal years. Our success is the fruit of the support
from our valuable users, and we would like to send them our gratitude from the
bottom of our heart.
The "UC-1 series" that we first released in 1981
have evolved significantly, with the release of "UC-1 Engineer's Suite" last
fiscal year and "UC-1 Engineer's Suite Addition" in October 2014. Thanks to
these new releases, the linkage between each and every stage of construction
from design calculation and quantity calculation to cost estimation, which is
the ultimate goal of CIM, can be reinforced with our lineup of UC-1 series
products.
Furthermore, we released the latest version of Engineer's
Studio®, our premier product of the FEM Analysis series, Version 4. This new
version has many new features including the ability to input dynamic data at
multiple points. We also started offering the FEM Engineer's Suite, a suite of
several programs including the heat stress solid analysis program FEMLEEG, a
number of FEM Ground Analysis series products, and Engineer's Studio®. As we
welcome the new era of performance design, we will support your CIM based
projects via highly precise 3D analysis.
In August we released version 10
of UC-win/Road,
our premier VR software for which we were granted the Software Products of the
Year Award from SOTIC (Software Information Center) in 2002. The new release
incorporates various new features including the ability to import road profiles
and 3D models from DWG/DXF files and export 3D VR models, a function unique to
the new DWG tool which supports the entire work flow of creating VR-drawings
that promotes CIM. The software is being used not just in the field of
construction but also in many other fields and disciplines in a wide range of
applications, particularly as an ideal tool for simulation and visualization to
assist the R&D of ITS and autonomous driving technology. It powers many
different Driving Simulators in use throughout the world, and is continuously
being chosen as the software to be used for many types of system integration
projects to develop a made to order Driving
Simulator.
Last year we moved our Tokyo Head Office to the 21st floor
of SHINAGAWA INTERCITY Building A. It is our pleasure to host "The 8th FORUM8
Design Festival 2014-3Days" in the seminar room in our head office and in the
nearby Shinagawa Intercity Hall. We have many events planned for the festival
including the 15th UC-win/Road Conference and the 8th Design Conference, both of
which are held and well received every year.
As part of the new plan, we
have inserted a new session, the first "National Resiliency Design Award
Ceremony", into our program. We will also announce the publication of 3 new
books published by FORUM8 Publishing Group – "Behaviour-Security-Culture
(BeSeCu)", "Recommendation for ICT Global Collaboration", and "Analysis for Food
Risk in an Urban Area" at the book launch party scheduled for the evening of Day
2.
We would like to sincerely ask you to attend the event by all
means. |

The 4th Virtual Design World
Cup
The 4th Student
BIM&VR Design Contest on Cloud Services
-Competition for designing an advanced construction
engineering-works on Cloud, making full use of BIM/CIM and
VR!-
Theme 2014
"Sustainable Olympic Town in
Tokyo Bay 2020"
This is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each
other in designing an innovative architecture, bridge and city design using
BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize
which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect
of design, innovative idea, and creativity. They plan and design their work
based on the theme and then run a simulation. Their final model will be
presented to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist
students with the production of their work, we plan to carry out workshops and
seminars. We will also support the students who will make use of software from
now on. Also you can communicate and collect a lot of information without having
to visit the local area by participating various workshop reviews through the
Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ). The script of VR data created by FORUM8's
software and a "Concept poster" (A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required
for the final submission and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud
judgment". We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by
all means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your
masterpiece. We encourage students from different departments majoring in
different field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to
demonstrate that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.

Theme2014
"Sustainable Olympic Town in Tokyo
Bay 2020"
Tokyo is striding ahead towards 2020 Olympic games the city
will host to provide easy mobility and comfortable stay for visitors from around
the world and to live up to the expectation for its regeneration into an
advanced environmentally friendly city weighed at the metropolis ever since it
won the bid. In particular, its harbor region, an industrial land that is
recently transforming into a city equipped with complex urban features, will
become the main venue of the Olympic and the biggest frontier of the development
radiating out from the heart of Tokyo at the same time. The theme for this
year's VDWC will focus on part of this area, the Shikiba/Tatsumi region within
which new athletic stadiums are centralized to be specific. However, rather than
just designing the new Olympic games' stadiums themselves, we also expect you to
consider the urban design of this entire region. The reason being the demand for
new ideas on how traffic, accommodation, and food and beverage facilities that
will serve the needs of the fans during the Olympic can be used effectively even
after the games, which is imperative considering the region's long-term
development. (The temporary image of the Olympic stadiums that is imported into
the UC-win/Road data and will be provided to you is based on the actual image of
the stadiums presented by the city of Tokyo, however you are free to alter
it)
We hope that you submit the kind of proposal that not only avoids
unnecessary investment and excessive burden but also promises development of the
harbor region into a sustainable urban waterfront which offers an attractive and
valuable environment in both scenic and ecological sense. Speaking of this
year's theme, as long as your work is in line with the theme itself and concerns
the specified region, it does not matter whether your work covers part or whole
of that region. One of the characteristics of the annual VDWC's theme is in its
size, complexity, and comprehensiveness. This is because we expect each student
to take advantage of the benefit gained from teamwork, one of the features of
BIM, to produce an excellent result of the collaborative work done by themselves
and their teammates from various fields of study. |
| Judging
standard |
The use UC-win/Road is mandatory for the creation
of the work. In addition, contestants must use at least one more FORUM8
software/solution to create their work of art, which must have the element of
the BIM/CIM and VR and the capability of being used in these disciplines. The
works will be evaluated how the new design was created in terms of the
availability of BIM/CIM and also VR, duration of creating work and its quality,
logicality and technical capabilities, sensuousnessand originality and
presentation skills will be evaluated.
