MagiCAD 2022 together with the preceding two update releases, brings extensive new functionality for MEP design in Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD environments enabling MEP designers to produce work that is highly accurate and easily adaptable for further uses.
16/06/2021New Feature Highlights for MagiCAD 2022 for Revit
MagiCAD 2022
Ventilation
Accurate duct modelling with new fitting types
New gender types (male/female) for duct fittings remove the need for additional connections and enable new design possibilities. The increased accuracy also helps make the model better suited for installation purposes.
MagiCAD 2022
Electrical
Improved Connections to Mechanical function
Multiple improvements to the Connections to Mechanical function enable easier connection node management.
MagiCAD 2022
Piping
Pre-configured pipe and drainage series
MagiCAD now includes a collection of pre-configured pipe and drainage series available for download from MagiCAD Cloud. The series include a set of fittings in compatible sizes for a piping or drainage system.
MagiCAD 2022
Piping
Create and install drainage product combinations
Combine drainage products, such as basins and water locks, in the dataset and then install them as a combination into the model. Using product combinations makes it easier to create drainage connections and to add similar systems into the model.
MagiCAD 2022
Common
Perform quick and precise network adjustments with the new Segment Adjust tool
The new Segment Adjustment tool allows you to align existing system segments with millimeter precision. Simply enter distances or an offset and select the elements to be moved.
MagiCAD 2022
Common
Customize the running index numbering logic with index areas
Index areas help you to adjust running indexes according to user preferences or model areas, and make it easier to locate objects based on index numbers.
MagiCAD 2022
Common
Set up and use classification systems
New functionalities and a workflow that enable users to set up and use classification systems, including various national classification systems.
MagiCAD 2022
Ventilation
Use distribution boxes in ventilation design
Distribution boxes facilitate ductwork in limited spaces and help create more realistic designs for installation purposes.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-2
Common
Batch Manager
Save combinations of selected functions as batch processes that are automatically performed before printing, saving, or exporting. This helps ensure that saved models and exported files are always updated with the latest changes.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-2
Piping
Easy radiator installation with radiator connection sets
Install radiators using ready-made radiator connection sets that include all the needed components. Radiator connection sets make it easier to perform radiator connections and compare connection alternatives.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-1
Calculations, Piping
Diversity calculations for heating and cooling systems
Diversity factors enable you to estimate the practical real flow of a heating or cooling system when it is in use. This enables system optimisation to minimize costs and energy consumption.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-1
Ventilation, Piping, Electrical
LOD (Level of Detail) selection tool
Different phases of a BIM project have different requirements for geometric detail. The LOD selection function includes preconfigured options that enable fast and convenient adjustment of the needed LOD level.
New Feature Highlights for MagiCAD 2022 for AutoCAD
MagiCAD 2022
Piping
Adjust required radiator power for covered radiators
Add a correction factor to the required radiator power for installations with radiator covers and rotated installations.
MagiCAD 2022
Electrical
Use automatic feeder blocks in switchboard schematics
Add a feeder block into a switchboard schematic drawing to automatically display data from the feeding circuit and its supply cable.
MagiCAD 2022
Piping, Ventilation, Electrical, Sprinkler
Updated Connection Node feature
The updated Connection Node feature offers better flexibility and overview in connection node handling.
MagiCAD 2022
Piping, Ventilation, Electrical, Sprinkler
Assign discipline-specific default offsets for provisions
Discipline-specific default offsets make it easier to create accurate provisions for ventilation, piping, and electrical segments within the same project and automatic timestamps help users keep track of possible updates.
MagiCAD 2022
Piping, Ventilation, Sprinkler
Display additional information in System and Installation dialogs
System dialogs include calculation method information and product installation dialogs include product parameters from the project.
MagiCAD 2022
Electrical
Object selection according to switchboard and host areas
Switchboard and host areas have been added to the predefined Object selection options. In addition, when defining a host area, you can now add its surface area to an area summary.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-2
Piping
Easy radiator installation with radiator connection sets
Install radiators using ready-made radiator connection sets that include all needed components. Ready-to-use connection sets make it easier to perform radiator connections and compare connection alternatives.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-2
Electrical
Change project for multiple drawings
Merge multiple drawings simultaneously into a project. Bringing multiple drawings to a new project as a batch saves time in updating separately performed design work to a central model and helps ensure that all needed drawings are included in the merge.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-2
Schematics
Use pre-configured symbols for easy creation of air handling unit schematic drawings
When you place a symbol to the schematic drawing, MagiCAD will draw the accompanying cables and connection points automatically without any manual work.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-1
Piping
New radiator connection function
A new Radiator connection function creates automatic radiator connections to main pipes and provides advanced connection options. You can also preview the different options in order to examine potential alternatives and to ensure that the optimal design is achieved.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-1
Calculations, Piping
Diversity calculations for heating and cooling systems
Diversity factors enable you to estimate the practical real flow of a heating or cooling system when it is in use. Pipe and pump sizes can then be reduced to match the practical real flow requirements in order to minimise material investments and to produce energy savings.
MagiCAD 2021 UR-1
Ventilation, Piping, Electrical, Sprinkler
Define raised or lowered floor areas
Draw floor areas with a custom offset from the default storey floor level. Floor areas allow you to take raised and lowered floors into account in MEP system designs.
