MagiCAD Piping

Speeds up standardising and starting up a new Revit project. With the help of dataset templates, localised for each market area, company or project it is fast and easy to standardise and start up a new Revit project. At the same time, it minimises the size of your Revit templates and projects.

European standards' support includes:

• Language
• Templates
• MEP Symbols
• Calculations

Once the heating, cooling, domestic water or sprinkler system is modelled, only parts of it, or the whole model, you can easily utilize MagiCAD's integrated and localised calculation tools. – Sizing and balancing with calculated kv-values and given warnings if some criteria isn’t achieved. Calculate to minimum pressure, pump pressure or a given pressure.

Define specific heat capacity to get correct power calculations, set diversity factor for flowrates, or specify a design area for the sprinkler hazard class. Finally, when all are set and done, print the calculation report with matching node numbers and all the design criteria documented.

MagiCAD offers the possibility to add local 2D symbol to selected 3D models plus a dynamic installation interface that adopts to the selected product.

For a fast configuration of your routing preferences for pipe work modelling, copy the used setting from an already modelled segment by using MagiCAD’s reference button, then if needed change system, fittings and insulation in a second. All collected in one place.

MagiCAD's productivity tools dramatically improve your productivity. Functions like the 3D section box, multi crossing tool, angle to horizontal, standard connection and the pipe device connection tool really simplifies and facilitates your pipe work modelling.

If you try the specifically developed tools for e.g. multi connections of radiators, under floor heating, drainage systems and sprinkler heads you will realise that you can’t live without them.

MagiCAD Libraries are Europe's largest selection of BIM objects for MEP design

MagiCAD Libraries offer a wide selection of high-quality BIM objects. Designers utilizing MagiCAD can utilise the full catalogue of one million intelligent BIM objects and access detailed, accurate dimensions and comprehensive technical data. The Library represents products from over 270 international manufacturers.

Advanced search functionalities are offered also through the online service, MagiCAD Cloud. It enables product selection & download directly from MagiCAD Cloud library into your MagiCAD projects

MagiCreate is a complementary software for creating custom MEP product libraries for both MagiCAD for Revit MEP and MagiCAD for AutoCAD.

MagiCreate enables you to model a comprehensive set of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing products using easy-to-use modelling functions. If you need to use specific products which are not part of our ready-made selection of over 1,000,000 manufacturer-specific product models, you can download and install MagiCreate and begin modelling.

MagiCreate be downloaded free-of-charge directly from the MagiCAD user interface using the Plugin Manager function or from the MagiCAD Download Portal. You can open MagiCreate from the desktop or from the MagiCAD user interface.

Modelling with MagiCreate is easy because you can define custom products by editing the dimensions and technical properties of MagiCAD’s existing generic product databases. You can create additional databases for MagiCAD according to your project needs and edit the properties of the new products and product variants.

Plugins connect selection tool or configurator to MagiCAD

When the manufacturer has highly customizable products, a large number of product variants, or they want to help their customers in selecting and installing the most suitable product in each situation, a product selection plugin is specifically developed. Over 20 MagiCAD Plugins connect manufacturers’ product selection and calculation software directly to MagiCAD, making product selection faster, easier and more accurate.

Once you have selected a product, you can import and place the product from the plugin in your MagiCAD model just as any other intelligent MagiCAD object. Information about the dimensions and technical data is included in the product model.

You will also get direct access to a wider range of more complex and more configurable products.

Once the heating, cooling, domestic water or sprinkler system is modelled, you can utilise MagiCAD’s integrated calculation tools for sizing and balancing. These include calculated kv-values and warnings for cases when some criteria aren’t achieved. For example, you can calculate the required minimum pressure or balance the network to pump pressure or to a given pressure.

Define specific heat capacity to get correct power calculations, set diversity factor for flowrates in domestic water networks, or specify a design area for the sprinkler hazard class. Finally, you can print the calculation report with all the design criteria documented.

MagiCAD comes with readymade project templates localised for each market area. Taking MagiCAD into use is therefore straightforward process. By using templates it is easy and fast to standardise the project ensuring that for example correct layer settings, system types, calculation settings and symbols are used in each project. Templates can be customized to fulfil the company or project specific needs as well.

MagiCAD is a full-blown 3D modelling tool which combines modelling features together with production of 2D paper drawings – and without a need to do any conversions. There is versatile possibilities to configure the presentation of 2D drawings including wide range of ready-made symbols.

MagiCAD includes specifically developed tools for modelling the piping network. Drawing pipes with MagiCAD is extremely easy and convenient, whether it is heating or cooling pipes, domestic water, sewage or sprinkler pipes. MagiCAD offers versatile possibilities for automated device connections as well as routing possibilities. For heating and cooling as well as domestic water networks, MagiCAD offers extremely convenient simultaneous drawing of 2 or 3 pipes with user defined distance and routing preferences.

For a fast configuration of your routing preferences for pipe work modelling, copy the used setting from an already modelled segment by using MagiCAD’s reference button, then if needed, change system’s fittings and insulation.
