It also includes visualization, walkthrough, interference detection, and model comparison capabilities.

Solibri Model Checker is a model-checking tool that allows checking BIM models for potential problems, conflicts, or design code violations, for various uses such as spatial coordination, quantity takeoff, or energy analysis. The more competition for the leading vendors such Autodesk and MAP is the better as this will hopefully leads to what we would all like to see.

I think that the definitive package have not been developed yet, every software package currently has significant defects and itвЂ™s difficult to predict which developer will cover and overcome such drawbacks toВ deliverВ the definitive package that has from design to pre-fabrication and construction support. Tricad package is a German software that has goodВ functionality and concept point of view,В however it is typically German complexВ and no support at all for BIM exchange formats. BOQ output will be based on GAEB/VOB/Datanorm which means nothing to anyone familiar with CSI divisions or Uniformat. This means the 2D output will be unacceptable for many, and you will need to generate a complete custom symbol library,В the 3D libraries are also exclusively based on local components, a significant number of which are not on the international market. For example, all of the symbols are different from those used in the US/UK and widely used internationally. Also, theyВ have a unique set of documentation requirementsВ which affects the way these products are designed. German software are all deeply connected with the prevailing DIN/VDI/VDE standards over there, which donвЂ™t transfer well beyond a few Eastern European countries.

Widely used across Germany and parts of Europe and currently have been developing for UK market, it has a lot of design features and inputs, also it includes its own reviewing tool much similar to Navisworks. Finally, Multiple MagiCAD versions have been supported in workstation alongВ differentВ projects. I understood that sprinkler calculations in MagiCAD areВ certified. Design calculations are widely supported with detailed system sheets with technical warning if any, sound calculations areВ supportedВ also and able to be stored into Revit project. There is also installation/modeling tools which is modelingВ dialogВ guides into the rightВ choice ofВ differentВ independentВ installationВ possibilities. MagiCAD supports real manufacturersвЂ™ product selection through plugins such asВ Furhoffs,В Lindab, Г–stbergВ which seems that contents libraries are exclusively based on localВ manufacturers, a significant number of which are not on the international market specially in the ME. MagiCAD includes several modules, each fully compatible with Revit MEP and support IFC, asВ documentation managementВ much easier editing and customizing objects symbols and tags than Revit, and bills of materials alsoВ are produced in real time of installation/modeling. Well supported specs such as DW144 and able to customize different specs requirements, provide alternative routing with cost breakdown. Seamless ability for pre-fabrication and CAD-CAM, high BIM-rich contents.Д®asy to train AutoCAD drafters as it within AutoCAD environment. Not much technical and design support as Revit. Modeling use is easy through AutoCAD drafters, good sheet management, and itвЂ™s not seamless with pre-fabrication as CAD-CAM, itвЂ™s the goodВ choice to move AutoCAD team quickly to first 3D-BIM model project.Д®asy to train AutoCAD drafters to use AutoCAD MEP. Also, cable sizes are based onВ American AWG only in which itвЂ™s useless electrically when working outside the US. The cable Length is calculated as the sum of the distances along the X, Y, and Z axes and does notВ take account of the containment routing. Poor technical support for electrical as cable length calculations are very naiveВ to generating BOQ and Voltage Drop calculations, unable toВ buy and cut cables in building process, because cable length is not true (if I draw cable using standard revit вЂњwireвЂќ ). Limitations in large systems asВ recalculate the system for every change.

Steep learning curve from AutoCAD to Revit, Revit users limitation results in expensive Revit user hiring, so investment in heavy training is needed. IntuitiveВ user interface, good design features, directВ coordination interaction with Revit Architecture & Structure, good information and sheets management, wide technical support, and popular software specifically with designers than contractors. Through a long discussion among MEP BIM expets concerning MEP BIM software and their application across project phases and demonstration of other software which not yet been tested by anyone,В hereunderВ the outcomes of that valuable discussion.
