Autodesk AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite 2011

AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite building design software combines Autodesk Revit MEP building information modeling (BIM) software and AutoCAD MEP software to offer a comprehensive energy-efficient building solution for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers, and drafters. Use Autodesk Revit MEP software to gain the competitive advantage of BIM by analyzing and optimizing building system designs. AutoCAD MEP automates tedious drafting tasks, enabling designers and drafters to create more precise construction documentation faster.

Top features:

Sustainable Building Design and Analysis
Using building information model, with realistic, real-time design scenarios, MEP engineers make better decisions and minimize design errors.

Heating and Cooling Load Analysis
Autodesk Revit MEP provides native integrated heating and cooling load analysis tools to help engineers perform energy analysis, evaluate system loads, and produce heating and cooling load reports for a project.

Mechanical Systems and Duct Layout Modeling
Once your air terminals and mechanical equipment are placed, create supply, return, and exhaust systems to connect the components of the air system.

Electrical Lighting, Wire Path Layout, Power Circuit Layout
Create single and multicircuit wiring for electrical devices, fixtures, and power receptacles automatically, using intuitive circuit creation and automated wire path layout tools.

Duct and Pipe Sizing/Pressure Calculations
Thanks to built-in calculators in Autodesk Revit MEP software, engineers can perform sizing and pressure loss calculations according to industrystandard methods and specifications, including the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) fitting loss database.
