Advanced BIM tool for the design of HVAC systems for buildings
(OP)
Hi,
I'm new here, but i'm visiting this forum for a year ago.
It's very good forum with a lots of informations and calculations.
I'm in HVAC for a 3 years now and my company are going to BIM design, not 2D in AutoCAD anymore.
So, i'm looking for quality BIM tool for the design of HVAC for buildings.
Well, i need a tool to start with calculation of thermal loads for heating and cooling to calculation and drawing systems for heating, cooling and ventilation.
What's your experience and recommendation which tool to choose... it's AX3000, Data Design System (DDS-Nemetschek), MagiCAD or something else?
Thank you very much for your answers and recommedations.
Greetings,
Miroslav.

I know for Revit and I'll check how it works.
Waiting for someone's experience in other tools.

You may not get many responses back about other platforms

I'm with a Revit group now, and based on what I'm seeing in the US, you'd better do Revit if you want to work with architects... It may be different where you are, so my advice is to check with your client base first before shelling out money on something that won't integrate with their BIM system.
Best to you,

Revit will likely replace Autocad in terms of drafting, completely. For calculations, Revit is a sham currently.
Many calculation software now has direct link or interface with revit: Cymap and even HAP, assumably Hevacomp.
AX-3000 works with Autocad only, I beleive.
So if you want complete HVAC design solution, you need Cymap/HAP/Hevacomp plus Revit.
