The power of MagiCAD When we started to work with MagiCAD in 2006, it immediately became our number one MEP design tool for all projects, says Daníel Gíslason, Verkís, Reykjavik More than one million products at your fingertips REAL PRODUCTS. With MagiCAD you design with real products from the start. When you need a valve, a radiator, a diffuser or any other installation product, you can select it from MagiCAD s product database. This is what makes MagiCAD so special. In the applications, such as MagiCAD Ventilation, Heating & Piping or Electrical, you design and evaluate your entire system. The product database that s part of MagiCAD gives you immediate access to more than one million products from leading international manufacturers. This number is steadily increasing, as new products and manufacturers are added to the database. CALCULATIONS. The 3D product models from the database have correct dimensions, since they are modelled from physical products to a high level of detail. They also contain technical data provided by the manufacturer. Values for pressure loss, sound levels, heating or cooling capacity, power consumption and other data are always present in the model, allowing you to make accurate calculations while designing. The combination of MagiCAD and the product database ensures your final design will contain all the necessary information and will perform as planned. COLLISION CONTROL. Collisions are found and corrected during the design stage. Contractors can trust the project model on site, saving installation time and improving quality. MagiCAD s collision control covers all electrical and HVAC systems. You can even check for collisions between installations and the building s structure. LOGISTICS. Powerful functions for producing bills of materials (BOM) improve logistics. Working with real products results in a faster, more cost-efficient installation process. The flow of materials can be directed to the right area in the building, even to individual rooms. PRODUCT SELECTION. MagiCAD also has a range of plugins for easier product selection. The plugins are special programs that connect MagiCAD with different manufacturers selec tion and dimensioning tools. When the right product is selected it can be imported into MagiCAD, complete with dimensions and technical data. When you look at your MagiCAD design on the screen, what you see is what you get. 4 5

MagiCAD Ventilation MagiCAD Heating & Piping Providing clean healthy air indoors is one of the most challenging tasks in modern buildings. Requirements on energy conservation and air quality tend to contradict one another. MagiCAD Ventilation is well suited for handling this situation. With MagiCAD Heating & Piping you can design and calculate heating, cooling, air conditioning and water systems, as well as sewer, sprinkler and specialist systems. MagiCAD Ventilation contains a large selection of built-in calculation functions, such as flow summation, sizing, balancing, sound calculation and bills of materials. MagiCAD Ventilation provides many clever and automated functions that cut down on routine work. If, for example, you change direction while drawing a duct, MagiCAD creates the bend automatically. If you connect to a bend, the bend is automatically converted to a T-piece. If you change dimensions, the transition piece is automatically created. If one dimension is undefined, just give the duct size and MagiCAD will create all the necessary components for sizing. MagiCAD Heating & Piping contains a number of functions that save time when you are designing the systems. You can draw several pipes simultaneously. You have functions for connecting the radiators automatically, so you don t need to draw every piece of pipe yourself. Calculation functions for sizing and balancing systems are included in MagiCAD Heating & Piping. It also has a function to help you select the most suitable radiators from the manufac turers selection of products.

Product databases and plugins Progman also specialises in product modelling and software development for product selection and dimensioning. PRODUCT MODELLING. By using Progman s product modelling services for making digital models of their products, manufacturers give designers a better and faster way to produce accurate and reliable designs. Every vital part of a product s geometry is captured and turned into a 3D model. This model is then ready to be imported and used in any MagiCAD project. What s unique about MagiCAD is that the 3D model and its technical data are stored in MagiCAD s product database. Designers don t have to look for information in manufacturer catalogues, websites or other sources everything they need for designing and calculating the installations is available in MagiCAD. Turning real products into digital models with dimensions and technical data is a great service for designers. They can trust the performance of their design. They can calculate the system s performance in advance, and they know if everything fits together without collisions. Leading manufacturers of ventilation, heating, piping, electrical and other installation products use Progman s product modelling and database services. MagiCAD currently contains more than one million products, making it easy for designers to find the best solution for any kind of installation. As soon as a new product model is included in the database it s available to every user of MagiCAD for AutoCAD or Revit free of charge. PLUGINS. Making product selection and dimensioning tools plugins is another service provided by Progman. Designers use plugins to find and configure the right product for their MagiCAD projects. For example, plugins are used to design complete air handling units (AHUs), made up of several different components. Plugins are dynamic tools that help designers to work faster and more accurately. Designers can give dimensions, performance data or other parameters as input to the calculation. The plugin program then returns a finished model instantly. Plugins are web-based or client-based programs run from inside MagiCAD. Designers don t need to interrupt the workflow. Once the plugin is activated, it can be reached from MagiCAD s menu in the same way as any other function. Plugins for MagiCAD for AutoCAD or Revit are easily downloaded from MagiCAD s download portal. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS.
