MagiCAD also enables thorough and accurate calculations on all functional and spatial aspects of the building with just a few mouse-clicks. When designing with MagiCAD, you have all it takes to carry out even the most demanding Building Information Modelling projects, from start to finish. Mikael Ekenberg, Product Manager at Progman Oy MagiCAD is the leading BIM software for HVAC and electrical design in the Nordic countries, and one of the most widely used BIM solutions in its field in the world. Including European and International sales, more than 15,000 licenses are in use in over 45 countries. MagiCAD enables MEP design using Europe s largest product model database, featuring over one million actual products from leading manufacturers across the globe. MagiCAD offers localisation for different country-specific standards, and it is used by both large and small consulting firms in a variety of projects across the world. MAGICAD FOR REVIT AND AUTOCAD MagiCAD enables state-of-the-art MEP design on both Revit and AutoCAD technologies. Adding MagiCAD s clever automated capabilities to AutoCAD or Revit makes HVAC and electrical design faster and easier, and at the same time enables new levels of reliability, accuracy and quality. MAGICAD HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED MagiCAD allows you to design and model MEP installations for all types of buildings. MagiCAD for Revit is available in four modules: MagiCAD Ventilation MagiCAD Heating & Piping MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer MagiCAD Electrical MAXIMISE THE BENEFITS OF BIM WITH MAGICAD FOR REVIT Building Information Modelling is a process that enables the creation of functional models of buildings and their MEP systems, and new levels of collaboration and information exchange between architects, designers, contractors and other project partners. When designing with MagiCAD, you have all it takes to carry out even the most demanding Building Information Modelling projects. LEADING THE WAY IN BIM With MagiCAD, all modelling is highly automated, fast and accurate. Checking the model and simulating the operation of different systems is easy and reliable. MagiCAD also enables thorough and accurate calculations on all functional and spatial aspects of the building with just a few mouse-clicks. MagiCAD creates a complete, easyto-manage information model that can be used as an invaluable storage of information throughout the building s lifecycle, from the early conceptual phase, construction, and installation of the building s MEP systems, to facility management and maintenance. DATABASES INSTEAD OF DRAWINGS Working with MagiCAD for Revit technology means that project data is stored in a database instead of having separate plan drawings for each floor. This database can be accessed by all project partners architects, structural designers, building services designers, contractors and facility managers. The project is easier to keep up-to-date and project coordination is faster and more efficient. 2 3

The power of MagiCAD MagiCAD for Revit s calculation, sizing and balancing functions for heating, cooling and ventilation systems had positive effects on the overall design quality during the project. MagiCAD s support for the IFC format was useful, as it allowed us to use Solibri for project coordination with the architect and for providing the customer with project visualisations, Lars Vegsund, Norconsult AS, Norway. 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. MagiCAD includes a product database that gives you immediate access to over one million products from leading international manufacturers. This number increases steadily, as new products and manufacturers are constantly introduced to the database. 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. AUTOMATED DRAWING FUNCTIONS. MagiCAD for Revit automates many time-consuming routine tasks in MEP design, including the creation and editing of standard connections, cross-over ducts and pipes, as well as various more demanding connections and adjustments, such as angle-tohorizontal, pipe-to-radiator and pipe-to-mixer connections, eccentric reductions, etc. MagiCAD allows the user to draw ducts and pipes directly with user-definable and flexibly resizable insulation series. 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 that your final design will contain all the necessary information and perform as planned. 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. IFC CERTIFICATION. MagiCAD is fully compatible with the latest IFC standard. Anyone using MagiCAD can export project models in IFC format, complete with drawings and technical data. DATASET. Dataset allows important elements of the project to be defined beforehand, for example product models and families can be preselected for use, particular calculation methods can be made available, etc. MagiCAD datasets also make Revit project files lighter because all relevant information is available straight from the dataset and transferred into the Revit project only when necessary. MagiCAD for Revit also provides you with, for example, the following handy features: Localised templates with market-specific symbols and product families, including drawing legend settings, colour labelling and line types for ducts, pipes and electrical components. MagiCAD templates make many time-consuming settings to Revit files unnecessary. In addition to default and market-specific symbol libraries, the user can also assign custom 2D symbols to any 3D models. Quick and easy design of underfloor heating systems with graphics and calculations. MagiCAD s plugin for managing provisions for voids (builders work): The plugin makes it possible for structural engineers and architects to manage, accept and reject void requests made from MagiCAD for Revit. MagiCAD enables description texts and standardised codes to be added to objects and drawings. These are available in the Revit project and can be exported and provided to third parties at any time for example via MagiCAD s IFC interface Array and line installation of multiple product models in Revit projects saves time and enables for example centric placement of sprinklers, radiators, etc. 4 5
