autocad® MEP 2009 - NEW!
Increase productivity, accuracy, and coordination—from conceptual design through construction documentation—with AutoCAD MEP software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers, and drafters. Seamlessly collaborate with architects using AutoCAD® or AutoCAD® Architecture software in an intuitive design environment. Automate production of construction documents using enhanced single-line and double-line system design and layout tools. And minimize coordination errors between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design teams as well as with architects and structural engineers.
Integrated Building Systems Design, Documentation, and Analysis
Some building systems software applications provide basic design and documentation capabilities. Others provide modeling technology. And still others provide building engineering analysis. But only one application does it all: AutoCAD® MEP. It unifies MEP design, documentation, and analysis in an integrated environment that improves productivity, automates coordination, and increases accuracy.
Speed Workflow and Shorten Design Cycles
With AutoCAD MEP software, you can easily size duct, wire, and plumbing pipe, as well as export engineering design data to standard file formats for use by third-party system analysis and sizing applications, such as load and energy analysis, and duct and fire protection sizing applications, helping you to streamline workflow and eliminate data errors. Shorten design cycles with features that automatically lay out, size, and fit design elements to meet code requirements while avoiding conflicts. And easily deliver construction-ready documents directly from your building model, saving time and money.
Minimize Costly Risks and Field Changes
Automatically detect interferences between systems, layouts, and structures to virtually eliminate design and construction conflicts. Customize schedules in your designs with information from the model, such as cost data to better understand the effects of your decisions; schedules update instantly as the model changes.
Create Better Designs and Increase Client Satisfaction
Produce construction-ready documents directly from your design environment, to ensure that the right information is conveyed between engineering and drafting, which helps eliminate confusion in the field during construction. Implement CAD standards across all projects to ensure companywide quality and consistency. Design accurate systems with standard parts and real-world, manufacturer-specific equipment to create true-to-life representations.
