That depends on your skills with AutoCAD and which software you have available.
If you are comfortable in AutoCAD then use that to build your geometry
and find a tool that helps you to convert the geometry to OBJ. 3D Max
or Rhino can do that and it doesn't take a lot of skill to import a
file and export it in another format.

If you're new to 3D modeling anyway you can try SketchUp. Compared to
all the other 3D apps out there it is easy and intuitive to use. The
models for DAYSIM will not be too complex either so should be able to
do all your modeling in SketchUp.
