We have an HVAC room with 4 air handling units. We are replacing these with 1 large AHU.

The existing duct is staying as is with a few connections in the HVAC room.

We have a full PDMS and Navisworks model of the ducting system, and a design for our new system. Is it possible to get the friction losses from the duct (I can add in friction from the dampers, coil etc myself).

So the question is, from PDMS or Navisworks can I get this model into a program that has the capability of calculating friction loss?

Thanks!
