For Revit MEP

“MagiCAD for Revit’s calculation, sizing andbalancing functions for heating, cooling andventilation systems had positive effects onthe overall design quality during the project.”Lars Vegsund, Norconsult, NorwayProject name: Forde town hall

Northern Europe’sleading BIMsoftware forMEP designMagiCAD is the leading Building Information Modelling (BIM) softwarefor HVAC, piping and electrical design in Northern Europe, and oneof the most widely used BIM solutions in its field in Europe and China.MagiCAD has a proven track record from thousands of projectsworldwide with more than 20,000 licenses in use in over 50 countries.MagiCAD enables Mechanical, Electrical andPlumbing (MEP) design using Europe’s largest productmodel database with over 1,000,000 manufacturerverified products from more than 200 globallyrenowned manufacturers. MagiCAD offers localisationfor different country-specific standards and is usedby companies ranging in size from single offices toglobal multinationals.MagiCAD is available for both Revit and AutoCADtechnologies making HVAC, piping and electricaldesign faster and easier, and at the same timeenabling new levels of reliability, accuracy and quality.MAGICAD FOR REVIT OFFERS ACOMPLETE MEP DESIGN SOLUTIONON REVIT TECHNOLOGYMagiCAD for Revit is available in fivedifferent modules: MagiCAD VentilationMagiCAD PipingMagiCAD ElectricalMagiCAD Sprinkler DesignerMagiCAD Supports & Hangers

Maximise the benefitsof BIM with MagiCADMagiCAD enables you to accurately modeland test the operation of the building’s MEPsystems and engineering solutions before theactual construction begins.When designing with MagiCAD, you have all it takes to carryout even the most demanding BIM projects. A functional3D information model of the entire system offers a moreaccurate and more comprehensive basis for your work than2D drawings. BIM makes it possible to check beforehandwhether particular real-life components are suitablefor the planned installation, both from the perspectiveof geometrical space requirements as well as from thetechnical, operational perspective. MagiCAD also enablesthorough calculations, check-up procedures, balancing,sections, coordination also with Revit’s native clashdetection functions, as well as new levels of collaborationbetween project partners.LEADING THE WAY IN BIMWith MagiCAD, all modelling is highly automated, fastand accurate. Checking the model and the operation ofdifferent systems is easy and reliable. MagiCAD also enablesthorough and accurate calculations on all functional andspatial aspects of the building with just a few mouse-clicks.MagiCAD creates a complete, easy-to-manage informationmodel that can be used as an invaluable storage ofinformation throughout the building’s lifecycle, from theearly conceptual phase, construction, and installation ofthe building’s MEP systems, to facility management andmaintenance.

Image by Granlund OyPowerful design capabilitieswith MagiCADREAL PRODUCTSWith MagiCAD, you design with real products from thestart. When you need a valve, a radiator, a diffuser orany other installation product, you can select it fromEurope’s largest database of manufacturer-verifiedproducts.MagiCAD and our online BIM library MagiCloudenable immediate access to over 1,000,000 datarich MEP products from 200 leading internationalmanufacturers. This number increases steadily,as new products are constantly introduced to thedatabase. If you need to use specific products whichare not part of our extensive selection of ready-madeproducts, you can download and install our easy-touse modelling tool MagiCreate and quickly create therequired products yourself.AUTOMATED DRAWING FUNCTIONSMagiCAD automates many time-consuming routinetasks in MEP design, including the creation andediting of standard connections, duct and pipecrossings, elevation changes, as well as various moredemanding connections and adjustments, such asangle-to-horizontal, pipe-to-radiator, pipe-to-watersource and other piping connections, eccentricreductions, etc. MagiCAD enables the drawing ofducts and pipes directly with user-definable andflexibly resizable insulation series.CALCULATIONSThe MagiCAD 3D product models are modelled fromphysical products to a high level of detail, with correctdimensions and technical data provided by themanufacturer. Values for pressure loss, sound levels,heating and cooling capacity as well as other data arealways present in the model, enabling you to makeaccurate calculations during design. The combinationof MagiCAD and real products ensures that your finaldesign will perform as planned.PRODUCT SELECTIONMagiCAD offers smart tools for selecting productsfrom the database and adding them to the dataset

with technical data and dimensions. MagiCADprovides a wide range of plugins for connectingmanufacturers’ own product selection, configurationand sizing software directly with MagiCAD. Whena product, such as an air handling unit (AHU), isconfigured using a plugin, it can be imported intothe project in RFA format with dimensions, symbols,connection points and technical data.Working with real products enables a faster, morecost-efficient installation process.BUILDER’S WORKMagiCAD enables builder’s work to be generatedautomatically based on space requirements aroundand between ducts, pipes, cable trays, fire dampers,etc., including insulation. For structural engineersand architects, MagiCAD provides a free-of-chargecoordination plugin for native Revit MEP for approvingand managing the builder’s work requests.TEMPLATESProject templates enable important elements ofthe project to be defined beforehand. For example,product models and families can be preselectedfor use, particular calculation methods can bemade available, etc. Using MagiCAD’s ready-made,market-specific, localised Revit project templates,or preconfiguring them yourself, saves time duringthe design phase by enabling a more logical designprocess and helping you avoid mistakes.BILLS OF MATERIALSEfficient production of bills of materials (BOM) meansmore efficient cost management and ordering.IFC CERTIFICATIONMagiCAD is fully compatible with the latest IFCstandard. Anyone using MagiCAD can export projectmodels in IFC format one by one or in a batch, with allselected property sets defined.Use Revit MEP to its fullpotential with MagiCADMagiCAD for Revit MEP populates your design withdata about product dimensions, air flow, pressuredrops, sound levels and other information necessaryfor a true collaborative BIM workflow.With all this information at hand you can performcalculations and rely on the results. You will knowif your design will perform as planned. You receiveimmediate feedback if a product fits into the spaceyou want it installed. And – some would say this isMagiCAD’s most important and cost-effectivebenefit – contractors can install the systemsaccording to your design without unwantedsurprises at the building site.DATABASES INSTEAD OF DRAWINGSWorking with Revit technology means that projectdata is stored in a database instead of havingseparate plan drawings for each floor. This databasecan be accessed by all project partners – architects,structural designers, building services designers,contractors and facility managers.When updates can be made to a shared projectmodel, the project stays up-to-date and projectcoordination is faster and more efficient. Projectscan be kept together with all disciplines in onedatabase or divided into separate databases forstructural design, ventilation, heating, electricalinstallations, etc.MagiCAD integrates seamlessly within Revit MEPsoftware. If you are experienced in using Revit MEP, itwill be straightforward to begin reaping the benefitsof the features and functions that MagiCAD brings tothe Revit environment. You can also always rely onthe start-up assistance, training and support servicesprovided by our Autodesk-certified Revit MEP trainerswho have strong backgrounds in building servicesdesign.

MagiCAD Suitecovers it allMagiCAD Suite is MagiCAD for AutoCAD andMagiCAD for Revit MEP in one packageAs a MagiCAD for AutoCAD user, the move to MagiCADfor Revit will be easy since you are already familiar withMagiCAD’s functions and product model databases.With MagiCAD Suite, you will receive two licenses in onepackage: MagiCAD for AutoCAD and MagiCAD for Revit MEP.With MagiCAD Suite you have all it takes to carry outsuccessfully any of your current and future MEP designand BIM projects. MagiCAD Suite enables you to make thetransition to new technology at your own pace, dependingon your workload and on the technology your projectsrequire. At the same time, you can keep on using MagiCADfor AutoCAD for as long as you like.

This is veryimportant to us because we have strict requirements for theproduct families to ensure that they do not weigh down ourperformance when working with large project models.”Mattias Jagefeldt, Apply Emtunga, SwedenProject name: Johan Sverdrup Accommodation Module
