What Exactly Is AutoCAD Utilized For?

AutoCAD is a 3D computer-assisted design program produced by Autodesk is utilized for planning manufacturing as well as product design and designing. It can also be employed to develop plans for civil engineering. In addition to creating 3D models, AutoCAD is also used to draft documents, drafts and 2D drawings. The features of annotation, drafting and 2D drawings permit users to add dimension styles and customize text. They can also tie information from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and tables to drawings. To create realistic-looking renderings of the model, users can include lighting and change the materials. Edges shading, edges, and lighting are also adjusted for models created in AutoCAD. You can also see the interior of your 3D designs using the app. AutoCAD lets users take the data from PDF files and collaborate with colleagues as models and drawings are reviewed. In addition, it is also possible to speed up model editing and to organize the MEP CAD tools for easier access.

HVAC for AutoCAD

Design Master HVAC is a complete ductwork calculation and drafting program that you can use directly within MEP CAD. Define the parameters of your design as you design, and then run calculations in the software based on those parameters. Revisions are recorded for throughout the design. Build your HVAC systems more quickly and accurately with Design Master. These AutoCAD alternative, are useful when you need a professional program that can create engineering drawings as well as 3D models and landscape designs, but don't wish to spend a lot or use cracked versions.

Layout of Duct and Diffuser

Design intelligent ductwork that adapts to changes in your design

Automatically insert fittings as you design and alter them as needed

Draw double-line ductwork as easily as single-line

Spread out your diffusers, and connect them to your ductwork

Create a diffuser calendar as you plan your project

CFM and Sizing Calculations

The entire system can be sized with one command, based on the criteria you have defined

To meet your sizing requirements, make duct-by duct changes

Airflow distribution can be calculated by analyzing the building definition and diffusers that you have in your project.

Pressure Loss Calculations

With the push of a button, calculate pressure drop based on your layout

It is easy to make changes and recalculate without data entry

Automatically determine the critical path of your system

No more entering manually third-party load calculation now it's a one-step process.

Calculations of Heating and Cooling Loads

Define the exact location of the building, temperature ranges, materials, and many more

Calculations can be made directly from your architect's drawings.

Configure and assign zones

Print-ready load calculation reports including ventilation schedules, ventilation schedules, as well as psychrometrics based upon your building definition and system design

3D Drafting and BIM Compatibility

Create a 3D model of your 2D layout
