• Status tracking of tasks
• Definition of given workflows for the resolution of tasks
• Adding of Screenshots, comments, positions to tasks
• Sharing and assignment of tasks to participants via BCF

For example:

• Providing of all necessary components for your project centrally
• Components or configurators suitable for the active discipline
• Filtered by active discipline, used in project and locations (local or folder in the network)
• Sorted in component groups for quick orientation
• Multiple placing comands for families (place, replace, replace all, place on grid)
• Integration of own family libraries
• Intelligent search function
• Pick and place again of a component in the model

For example:

• Extensive CAD libraries with approved components of our wide range of industry partner
• More than 6 billion possible components and component combinations
• Direct placement of original manufacturer components into your model
• Multiple placing modes (place, replace, replace all of a kind)
• Configurators for complex component combinations (e.g. cascade systems)
• Including technical and commercial data (e.g. article numbers and packaging units)
• Detection and consideration in the network calculations

For example:

• Assigning of liNear parameters to your own shared parameters in a project-dependent mapping table
• Search and filter functions for mapping or overwrite of parameters
• Loading and Saving of predefined project standards
• Assignment of classification parameter to components and model elements to fill it with values
• Structure the classification of component groups in the IFC export
• Classification components related to cost groups for precise cost estimations

For example:

• Detection and display of collisions of any kind within a project or between several projects
• Collision check between Architecture and all disciplines
• Collision check between two discipline or one discipline with the architecture
• Collision check between single or multiple categories (e.g. walls and pipes)
• Collision check between single or multiple systems (e.g. Gas and exhaust air)
• Automatic creation of tasks for each collision in the Report and Task Tab
• Saving and Loading of predefined configurations

For example:

• Detection of drawn ducts and components directly in the model and analysis of the system
• Detection of all integrated components such as air outlets, fans or volume flow regulators
• Consideration of technical datas integrated in the model
• Detection of drawn dimension for the optionally consideration in the network calculation
• Easy mapping of foreign components for the consideration in the network calculation

For example:

• Automatic calculation and dimensioning of all components in the ventilation network
• Dynamically determined zeta values for a detailed calculation of the drag coefficients
• Detailed setting options, e.g. for dimensioning limits (maximum heights, etc.)
• Flow mechanical balancing
• Integrated sound level calculation
• Determination and variant comparison of duct materials including original manufacturer data sets with reals product properties
• Calculation directly in the model incl. redimensioning
• Calculation of multiple systems in one model
• Selection of suitable (manufacturer) components based on the calculation results
• Saving of values directly in the model with optional consideration in the IFC export
• Visualization of results using liNear Data Coloring (dimensions, materials, velocities, unfavorable flow path and many more)

For example:

• Flow mechanical Balancing with transfer of performance data from real product properties using data sets from leading manufacturers
• Calculation of multiple systems in one model
• Determination also of networks with several control levels
• Consideration not only of the distribution networks, but also the generator part
