BIM Objects

• With MagiCAD, you design with real products from the start. When you need a valve, a radiator, a diffuser or any other installation product, you can select it from Europe’s largest library of manufacturer-verified BIM objects.
• MagiCAD and our online BIM library MagiCloud enable immediate access to over 1,000,000 data-rich MEP objects from 250 leading international manufacturers. This number increases steadily, as new products are constantly introduced to the database. If you need to use specific products which are not part of our extensive selection of ready-made BIM objects, you can download and install our easy-to-use modelling tool MagiCreate. With MagiCreate you can quickly create the required objects by editing ready generic objects in our library.

Automated Drawing Functions

• MagiCAD automates many time-consuming routine tasks in MEP design, including the creation and editing of standard connections, duct and pipe crossings, elevation changes, as well as various more demanding connections and adjustments, such as angle-to-horizontal, pipe-to-radiator, pipe-to-water source and other piping connections, eccentric reductions, etc. MagiCAD enables the drawing of ducts and pipes directly with user-definable and flexibly resizable insulation series.

Calculations

• The MagiCAD 3D product models are modeled from physical products to a high level of detail, with correct dimensions and technical data provided by the manufacturer. Values for pressure loss, sound levels, heating and cooling capacity as well as other data are always present in the model, enabling you to make accurate calculations during design. The combination of MagiCAD and real products ensures that your final design will perform as planned.

Product Selection

• MagiCAD offers smart tools for selecting products from the database and adding them to the dataset with technical data and dimensions. MagiCAD provides a wide range of plug-ins for connecting manufacturers’ own product selection, configuration and sizing software directly with MagiCAD. When a product, such as an Air Handling Unit (AHU), is configured using a plug-in, it can be imported into the project in RFA format with dimensions, symbols, connection points and technical data.

Builder's Work

• MagiCAD enables builder’s work to be generated automatically based on space requirements around and between ducts, pipes, cable trays, fire dampers, etc., including insulation. For structural engineers and architects, MagiCAD provides a free-of-charge coordination plug-in for native Revit MEP for approving and managing the builder’s work requests.

Bills of Materials

• Efficient production of Bills of Materials (BOM) means more efficient cost management and ordering. Working with real products enables a faster, more cost-efficient installation process.

IFC Certification

• MagiCAD is fully compatible with the latest IFC standard. Anyone using MagiCAD can export project models in IFC format one by one or in a batch, with all selected property sets defined.

Templates

• Project templates enable important elements of the project to be defined beforehand. For example, product models and families can be preselected for use, calculation methods can be made available, etc. Using MagiCAD’s ready-made, market-specific, localised Revit project templates, or configuring them yourself, saves time during the design phase by enabling a more logical design process and helping you avoid mistakes.
