MagiCAD
A HIGHER LEVEL OF DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATIONS

MagiCAD allows you to design intelligently. If you want to change the direction of the duct while modelling the duct, the overlay will automatically insert an elbow. If you connect to an elbow, it is automatically converted to a tee. When changing the size of one of the elements, an adapter is automatically inserted. If one of the dimensions is undefined, just enter the duct dimension and MagiCAD will create all the necessary elements for dimensioning. All library items, from the straight duct to the ventilation terminal, have the manufacturer’s specifications.

MagiCAD Ventilation has many computational functions such as flow summation, dimensioning, balancing, noise calculation and bills of materials. Just follow the outline of the installation and just a few clicks will start the calculation.

MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer is an add-on for AutoCAD and Revit. It is a powerful, end-to-end sprinkler solution that incorporates the power of MagiCAD’s modelling power with a built-in calculation engine.

Using MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer, you can create a complete sprinkler system design: from modelling the pipe routes with its components, through the insertion of sprinkler heads, to the definition of sprinkler protected surfaces and design calculation surfaces.

After completing the drawing part, it is possible to recalculate the resulting installation without leaving the MagiCAD program. The calculations performed by the MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer program are based on the requirements of the following standards: EN 12845, CEA 4001, NFPA 13, BS 9251: 2014, UNI 10779.

MagiCAD Supports & Hangers allow you to easily design suspension systems and supports for ducts,
pipes and cable trays. In the overlay, systems can be designed using general or specific support elements and slings. Solutions can be configured and optimized based on the requirements of individual situations, for example, based on the need to be supported by available structural objects. Since sling and support systems can be modelled in a BIM environment together with MEP systems and structural design, the designer can estimate costs from the model, thereby saving money and time by detecting and eliminating a potential problem during the design phase. Overlapping elements can be detected by the collision location-allocation analysis while improving coordination by adding the space needed.

MagiCAD Supports & Hangers is an integrated BIM solution which makes project coordination uniform and more effective. Thanks to the integrated functions of the overlay, the improved information flow in BIM design allows you to verify the slings and supports before the construction phase, thanks to which the time needed to implement the project is reduced.

MagiCAD Supports & Hangers is fully integrated with Revit MEP 2017 and 2018.

MagiCAD System Designer allows you to start from scratch and finish creating complete schematics in one program. It is an application that allows you to design operation, connection and automation diagrams for ventilation, piping and electrical systems.

MagiCAD System Designer is more than just a drawing tool. Here, lines and symbols are intelligent objects that have many properties that can then be used when creating lists of items.
The program includes predefined objects such as pipes, electric cables, valves, ducts, lighting fixtures, etc.
During the design process, you can add or remove objects at any time. Elements are selected from handy industry tool palettes.

Editing diagrams is no longer a problem. If, for example, a valve is removed from the drawing, the pipe in the place where this valve is located will automatically connect. There is no broken line, so there is no need to redraw and waste valuable work hours! Another time-saving option is creating a similar element after selecting the selected component with the right button and then placing it anywhere in the project.

MagiCAD System Designer allows you to easily create lists of all elements that have been used in the diagrams.

If, after generating the statements, it turns out that one or more elements should be changed, the changes can be made at the statement level. The drawings will then be automatically updated.

MagiCAD System Designer is fully integrated with AutoCAD.

MagiCAD Circuit Designer works as an overlay in the AutoCAD environment. It is a very simple, intuitive tool for creating electrical circuits of varying complexity. It is an ideal solution for designers, electrical engineers, contractors and manufacturers of switchboards.

MagiCAD Circuit Designer significantly reduces the design time and allows greater control over the design process. You can start work by creating logic diagrams or wiring. Thanks to the flexible intelligence of descriptive objects, they are automatically updated when any changes are made.

THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES:

• Easily and quickly model with multiple drawing and editing tools while maintaining the intelligence of your objects
• Effective facility management
