AutoCAD is an 3D computer-assisted design program produced by Autodesk is utilized for manufacturing planning, product design and building designing. It can also be employed to develop civil engineering plans. AutoCAD can be utilized to create 3D models as well as documents and drafts. The features of annotation, drafting and 2D drawing allow users to add dimensions and styles to text and make it more personal. They can also tie data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and tables to drawings. Alongside 3D drawing and modeling, users are able to apply lighting as well as materials to the models to create realistic renditions and appearances. Edges, shading, and lighting can also be controlled by the models within AutoCAD. The application also lets users to view the inside of their 3D designs. AutoCAD allows them to take data from PDF files to collaborate with others as models and drawings are scrutinized. Interface customization allows for faster editing of models and organizes Plant 3D tools for better access.

HVAC for AutoCAD

Design Master HVAC is a complete ductwork drafting and calculation software application that operates directly inside MEP CAD. When you draw, determine the project's parameters and then apply those parameters to calculate within the software. Create revisions that are accounted for throughout the design. Design Master makes it easier to design your HVAC systems more quickly and accurately. These AutoCAD alternative can be beneficial if you need an expert software for creating engineering drawings, 3D models, and landscape designs, but are not ready to overpay for functionality or make use of cracked versions.

Layout of Diffuser and Duct

Design intelligent ductwork that adapts to changes in your design

It is possible to add fittings as you're drawing and alter them as needed

As easily as single-line ductwork, draw double-lined ductwork

Lay out your diffusers and connect them to the ductwork

Generate a diffuser schedule as you plan your project

CFM and Sizing Calculations

Size your entire system with only one command, and using criteria defined by you

Conduct duct-by-duct modifications to meet sizing requirements

The distribution of airflow can be calculated using the building's definition and the diffusers used in your project.

Calculations for Pressure Loss

When you press an icon, calculate the pressure drop based upon the layout you've drawn

No data entry is required for making changes or to recalculate.

Automatically identify the critical path within your system.

No more manually entering third-party load calculation now it's an easy one-step procedure.

Heating and Cooling Load Calculations

Simply define the location of the building as well as temperature ranges and the materials.

Calculations use rooms that can be drawn directly over your architect's designs

Zones can be configured and assigned

Based on your building's layout and definition, you will be able to create print-ready load calculation reports, ventilation schedules and psychometry.

Compatibility of 3D Drafting with BIM

Based on your 2D layout, create the 3D model.

Export to IFC or DWG for Revit and Navisworks
