CAD-MEP

 

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 (Ductwork and Piping), Electrical, and Plumbing Engineers and Design/ Build Contractors.  CAD-MEP is an ARX-Programmed to  utilize *.DWG Files working on AutoCAD and AutoCAD MEP 2009, 2010, 2011 (both 32-bit and 64-bit).

CAD-MEP

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 shape, and the power of Design-Line will do the rest.  With a single line sketch, a 3D drawing is generated automatically. Compare “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®, Bentley V8 XM® *.DGN format, and CAD-Mech and CAD-Duct. CAD-MEP can convert AutoCAD MEP *.DWG and Bentley Building Mechanical Systems V8 XM *.DGN files to CAD-MEP *.DWG formats, thereby eliminating the need to redraw 3D HVAC, Piping and Plumbing services.

EST-Mech and EST-Duct  modules, when purchased, estimate labor and material costs for each service directly in 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 for Manufacturing, Scheduling, and Estimating.

CAD-MEP Features include:

  • Integration with AutoCAD®, AutoCAD MEP®, Bentley Building Systems®, and NavisWorks®.
  • Ability to Auto-size Duct / Pipe with Design-Line.
  • Drawing with size based services
  • Auto-Generate Hangers for Duct, Pipe and Electrical.
