The power of integrated computing
the power of integrated calculation in BIM lies in the fast and reliable calculation of installations for dimensioning, checking and juxtaposing alternatives. In one model, in one program.
this saves considerable time and prevents errors. Because you now no longer need to export the boundary conditions for pipe calculations to another calculation program outside of Stabicad. Or enter them by hand.
Integrated calculations according to the standard
In addition to the standard options for rule of thumb calculations, Stabicad has integrated calculations according to the standard for the calculation of air ducts (incl. leakage air), gas piping, domestic hot water, including circulation piping, central heating and cooling piping, sprinkler piping and sewage. Thus, all piping systems in a building can be calculated and/or checked in an integrated manner, based on Belgian standards and norms.
Calculation Overview
with Stabicad's new calculation overview, calculation results are directly visible in your Revit model. This way you can easily check the results.
Local standards and norms
the calculation modules allow you to calculate basic system scenarios based on local standards and norms. This includes report generation, calculation overview and export functionality to various extensions. The extensive reports can be saved as a document and submitted to an inspection authority. This way, you can always prove later which calculations your design is based on. We use the following standards:
Computing with specific content
calculation can be done early in a design based on generic components, as well as specific content from manufacturers. For example, an engineer can find boilers from manufacturers such as Remeha or ELCO in the BIM library www.MEPcontent.com, which contains item information needed to calculate drawn systems.
Stabicad for Revit calculation modules
Save time thanks to integrated calculations for central heating & cooling pipes
"Being able to rely on 'smart' software has saved an enormous amount of time in drawing out and sizing plumbing, electrical, fire safety and HVAC techniques. Moreover, since all calculations are integrated into Revit, it prevents a lot of discussions between engineers and draftsmen. The draftsmen get more autonomy, and Stabicad adapts the dimensioning according to the changes."
"The same applies to the arrangement of connections between pipelines. Stabicad's integrated libraries allow us to obtain a more uniform design, especially when several people from different offices are working on the same project. Stabicad has also helped us export bills of materials, thanks to its Excel export tool. For more than a year, Stabicad for Revit has become our designers' main tool in special techniques. And the more the software evolves, the more time our engineering office gains."
