Description
LINEAR workflow for heating and cooling design with Autodesk AutoCAD
Schematic design
Input: Supply requirements for the building
Output: Calculable scheme design
Work steps:
- Create storey table
- Manual scheme creation with toolbars and specific editing commands
- Scheme generator for drag and drop and automated drawing
Derivation of the thermal model
Input: Architecture model or plan
Output: Model for further MEP design including levels and rooms
Work steps:
- Referencing DWGs, DXFs or PDFs from the architect
- Create storey table
- Create and enrich the architecture with room data
Building analysis, heating and cooling load calculation
Input: Architecture model with additional information for analysis
Output: Calculated heat & cooling load
Work steps:
- Powerful building analysis as a basis for the heat and cooling load calculation
- Automatic mapping of the building structure (building parts, storeys and rooms)
- Identification and collaborative correction of modeling errors in exchange with the architect
- U-value calculation and addition of any missing calculation parameters
- Automatic heat and dynamic cooling load calculation for the project, the storeys as well as all rooms
- Transfer of all relevant values into the model
Radiator, convector, panel heating & cooling design
Input: Calculated heat and/or cooling load
Output: MEP model with dimensioned heating/cooling components
Work steps:
- Dimensioning of radiators, convectors, panel heating or cooling systems on the basis of the heat/cooling load calculation
- Comparison of variants by using verified manufacturer data sets
- Transfer of the dimensioned components into the model
- Optional automatic or manual placement of components
- Bidirectional adjustments either in the model or in the dimensioning
Create system in the isometry or floor plan
Input: MEP model with dimensioned cooling components
Output: MEP Model with a calculable network (isometric or floor plan)
Work steps:
- 2D or isometric pipe network design using time-saving construction commands
- Automatic connection of all consumers
- System design in a neutral way or with the help of extensive manufacturer CAD libraries
Create system in 3D
Input: MEP model with dimensioned cooling components
Output: Detailed 3D model
Work steps:
- Detailed pipe design
- Automatic routing functions with preview of possible alternatives
- System design in a neutral way or with the help of extensive manufacturer CAD libraries
- Subsequent placement of components with matching transitions and flanges
- Automatic bolting of the entire construction (bolts, nuts, washers) with complete transfer to the parts list
- Pre-define insulation materials and show/hide them with transfer to the parts list
- Real-time collision check
- Manually or automatically assigned item numbers
- Material lists, parts lists with article numbers, sawing lists for pipes, position lists
Heating and cooling pipe network calculation
Input: Schematic, 2D or 3D model
Output: MEP model with optimized cooling system (schematic, 2D or 3D)
Work steps:
- Specification of calculation-relevant specifications (e.g. assignment of pipe materials, settings of valves, specification of insulation and ambient temperatures).
- Comparison of variants by using verified manufacturer data sets (e.g. pipe systems)
- Calculation of existing networks by fixing individual or all dimensions
- Redimensioning of the heating and cooling pipe network based on the calculation
- Colored display of all results directly in the model
- Automatic 3D generation during system creation in 2D (step 5 - variant 1)
Labeling, output of model data and results
Input: Calculated and optimized heating/cooling pipe network
Output: Final heating/cooling design including model for transfer to the coordination model and calculated results incl. material lists
Work steps:
- Storage of all inputs and calculation results in the model
- Publication of selectable values as shared parameters
- Automatic labeling of the model
- Addition of own parameters and meta information
- Printout of the results in standardized forms
- Transfer of the results and the model in all relevant formats
