autocad® MEP 2011
AutoCAD® MEP software is the discipline-specific version of AutoCAD® software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designers and drafters. The software’s more intuitive systems and design tools provide greater drafting productivity with the flexibility to make last-minute design changes more quickly and easily. AutoCAD MEP automates tedious drafting tasks, enabling designers and drafters to create more accurate construction documentation, faster. Sharing, collaborating, and coordinating with architects, structural engineers, and contractors is easier using the software’s reliable, widely used DWG™ file format.
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.
