Do you have complex infrastructure data systems that have become a beast to manage, let alone gain valuable insights from? Are you looking to scale your infrastructure data and save time while doing so? Using FME and REST APIs, you can accomplish both of these things and more. During this two-part webinar, we are going to show you how FME can make this possible through: - The power of Autodesk Tandem & REST APIs - Integrating API tools with Digital - Twins, using Bentley iTwin - Leveraging IBM TRIREGA First, we’ll walk you through an overview of what others have accomplished using these technologies, and what you can too. In the second half, we’ll take a deeper dive into the step-by-step methods using FME to achieve these goals in your organization. With FME, there is endless opportunity to capture key insights and data-driven decisions within infrastructure management. Join us to see how you can make your data come to life and achieve its full potential.

5. Agenda
● Overview of FME & infrastructure
management
● The power of Autodesk Tandem &
REST APIs
● Integrating API tools with Digital
Twins, using Bentley iTwin
● Extracting floor plans from IBM
TRIRIGA
● Resources & Q+A

6. Which of these programs have you worked
with or are interested in working with in the
future?

7. Every day, more data is moving from on
premise files and databases to web
applications.

8. Using FME and Web APIs,
you can access the data
in these new applications
just as you do in your local files.

9. What are APIs?
Application Programming Interface
● Contains a series of web calls you can make to a server to perform operations
● Allows computer programs to talk to each other
● REST and SOAP are the two main types of web APIs
○ Newer applications will use REST
● Interact with APIs using FMEʼs HTTPCaller

13. Demo

14. Autodesk Tandem

15. Autodesk Tandem
● Cloud based Digital Twin
Solution
● Populated from Revit or IFC BIM
data
● Extensible through user defined
parameters and templates

16. Autodesk Tandem
● Currently a Descriptive Twin
● FME can be used to improve
Tandemʼs data connectivity
● Boost Tandem up the scale by
integrating with other digital
data sources
Verdantix Digital Twin Maturity Model

17. Tandem Transformers in FME
Updates tandem features
from FME attributes
Reads features and attribute
schema from Tandem

18. Preparing Tandem
⚫ Create Forge App to communicate
with Tandem REST API
⚫ Add new Parameters to store
linked data

19. Update Tandem from Excel
⚫ Populate Room Parameters from
Excel table

20. Summary Points
● FME can read from and update
Tandem model attributes
● Updateable parameters must be
created by user
● Forge application must be created
to access Tandem through API

22. Connecting with
Bentley iTwin

23. Demo

24. Requirements
● A login to your Bentley account
● Register your application
○ Client Secret
○ Client email
● Create a new blank iModel to get Model ID information for the use in the
iTwinModelUploader
● An Azure SaS account

25. Bentley iTwin APIs
● Administration
● Digital Twin Management
● Events
● Reality Capture
● Reporting & Insights
● Review
● Synchronization & Exports
● Validation
● Visualization

26. Resources for Bentley iTwins
● FME iTwinModelUploader
● Registering your application
● Bentley iTwins APIS

27. Summary Points
● It can take some preparation work:
○ Common requirements:
creating an App in the target
web app to get a Client ID,
secret
● It may likely take some learning:
Reading API documentation

28. Demo

29. IBM TRIRIGA

30. IBM TRIRIGA
● IBMʼs Facilities Management
application
● Floorplans stored as DWG
● SOAP API to query records

31. TRIRIGA Transformers in FME
Extracts Record information
from TRIRIGA
Submits SOAP request to TRIRIGA

32. TRIRIGA to ArcGIS Indoors
● FME template created in concert with Esri
● Reads CAD Integration layers from DWG
● Extracts TRIRIGA id from rooms and levels
● Extracts TRIRIGA attributes though API
● Merges CAD with attributes
● Writes to ArcGIS Indoors geodatabase

33. Summary Points
● FME can extract records from
TRIRIGA
● TRIRIGA geometry stored in
integrated DWG or Revit files
● SOAP API is complex, but Hub
transformers make it easier
