Design Engineering Software for Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing
CAD-MEP is a 3rd party Autodesk® add-on software program that provides the “I” in BIM (Building Information Modeling). CAD-MEP offers intelligent 3D Design to Mechanical (Duct and Pipe), Electrical, and Plumbing Engineers and Design/Build Contractors. CAD-MEP is a DWG file utilizing ARX programming running seamlessly within AutoCAD 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, AutoCAD MEP 2008 and Autodesk® Building Systems 2006 & 2007.
Design calculations are created with simple user inputs which define a system’s criteria and specify constraints such as width, aspect ratio, round or rectangular, and the power of Design-Line will do the rest. With a single line sketch a 3D drawing is generated automatically. Do “what if“ scenarios; round verses rectangular, change static pressure, or add in-line equipment and CAD-MEP will recalculate sizes and redesign automatically.
CAD-MEP is a design tool that integrates directly with other Leading CAD design tools such as; AutoCAD MEP 2008, Autodesk Building Systems 2007® (ABS), Bentley V8 XM® *.DGN format, and CAD-Mech and CAD-Duct. CAD-MEP can convert ABS *.DWG and Bentley Building Mechanical Systems V8 XM *.DGN files to CAD-MEP *.DWG format, thereby eliminating the need to redraw 3D HVAC, Piping and Plumbing services. EST-Mech and EST-Duct modules estimate labor and material costs for each service directly from a CAD-MEP drawing.
CAD-MEP offers seamless integration with our CAD-Duct HVAC Detailing software, CAD-Mech Piping and Plumbing Detailing software, utilizing the same networkable database structure for Manufacturing, Scheduling, and Estimating.
CAD-MEP Key Benefits Include:
- Integration with AutoCAD®, AutoCAD® MEP 2008, Autodesk Building Systems®, Bentley Building Systems®, and NavisWorks®.
- Ability to Auto-size duct /pipe with DesignLine
