Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems require analysis to ensure proper sizing and operation.
AutoCAD MEP 2024 toolset includes several, integrated engineering tools for performing analyses:
- Before you begin to design, you can model spaces and zones to determine the heating and cooling loads for a building plan. You can also export the engineering data in Green Building Extensible Markup Language (gbXML) for analysis by third-party tools, and then import the results into your drawing. For more information, see About Calculating Duct Sizes to Optimize Duct System Designs.
- As you draw, you can use instant sizing tools to calculate duct or wire sizes.
- After you complete your design, you can analyze the HVAC, electrical, or plumbing system to check loads and resize components for optimal performance.
