General planner
Complex construction projects require perfect coordination between architecture, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing). As software for general planners, our BIM-enabled systems support the coordination of architecture and MEP, and connect models, calculations, and execution into an integrated workflow—for safe, efficient, and sustainable results.
pitCAD ULTIMATE/CLASSIC
BIM-based TGA planning and calculation
With pitCAD Ultimate, you have powerful software for integrated planning available, combining CAD planning and all phases from conceptual design to detailed design in one system. The software supports model-based planning of heating, cooling, ventilation, and sanitary systems and enables coupled calculations directly from the model. All system components, pipe networks, and areas are consistently represented. Through interfaces with SOLAR-COMPUTER, etap CANECO, and DIALux, a complete integrated planning process across all trades is created – from network and lighting calculations to detailed MEP planning. Thanks to its openBIM capabilities, seamless data exchange via the IFC exchange format is guaranteed. This creates a continuous digital workflow from planning to construction.
SOLAR-COMPUTER
Technical calculation at the highest level
The SOLAR-COMPUTER calculation software is an indispensable tool for you as a general planner in the environment of modern BIM software. The software covers all relevant standards and procedures, from heating load calculation and dynamic heating and cooling load calculation to pipe network calculation, including circulation calculation for hot and cold water.
The close link to pitCAD Ultimate and Revit creates a digital data network that significantly increases the quality of planning. As a general planner, you benefit from a high level of calculation depth, automatic plausibility checks and standard-compliant verification. By linking the model and calculation, the database always remains consistent. Changes in the model are adopted.
Autodesk AEC Collection
BIM environment for specialist disciplines
With the Autodesk AEC Collection, you have access to a uniform BIM platform that seamlessly integrates architectural models, technical systems and calculation data. As the leading BIM platform, the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AEC) offers general planners the opportunity to network architecture, structural engineering and MEP in a common environment. In combination with Revit and SOLAR-COMPUTER, this creates a fully integrated planning process.
