Key Features
Ventilation Module
Leverages lines, blocks and material tables to create 3D systems. Run calculations using "Equal Friction Loss" based on Darcy-Weisbach equation with roughness and loss coefficient tables.[reference:93]
Heating Module
Easyline system for supply and return piping design. Fan coils, radiators and floor heating systems designated as load points with full 3D piping design including pressure loss calculations.[reference:94]
Sanitation Module
Design potable water, wastewater and fire sprinkler piping systems with connectors for sinks, toilets, showers and washing machines. Hydraulic calculations based on Darcy-Weisbach and Prandtl-Colebrook equations.[reference:95]
Electrical Module
Easy placement of electrical elements with conduits, cable ladders and trays based on manufacturer databases. Intelligent symbols with 2D and 3D views.[reference:96]
Fire Safety / Sprinkler
Integrated fire safety and sprinkler system design within the MEP workflow.[reference:97]
Seamless Integration
Runs as a seamless integrated plug-in for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, guaranteeing fast and loss-free data exchange.[reference:98]
