A simple case of ensuring the original room name data is aligned, the data is then uploaded to within the MagiCAD model, ready for you to then develop your MEP design. Within MagiCAD is the spreadsheet export tool, which allows you to then easily import your IESVE loads results. This is deliberate - firstly it allows exporting for data to MagiCAD, but also as the excel report is editable it becomes a powerful tool in itself allowing you to quickly adjust Load Safety Factors for example.

This can be accessed within VistaPro once you run either CIBSE or ASHRAE loads. The key function for the interoperability from IESVE to MagiCAD is based on IESVE new Loads report. Not to mention the benefits for productivity, the list goes on.

Using a platform such as IESVE, increases the level of accuracy within your CIBSE Loads calculations, benefiting from the Architectural model, the ability to layer additional levels of analysis, such as solar shading. It was interesting to hear at our webinar that around half of the engineers attending are still using hand calculations and excel – at best they are simply sizing to CIBSE Guide A based on floor area, at worst there is great opportunity for errors. However, we mustn’t lose sight that at its very core is a robust engineering tool. If you are reading this then I’ll assume you have a fair understanding of IESVE, it’s the leading simulation platform for analysis of the built environment, from the earliest stages of Design through Construction, into Operation, and for Single building and multiple buildings alike, up to entire cities. It’s also worth mentioning our Consultancy team also provide Project Mentoring services for supporting you define your process. This was covered briefly within our webinar, but for those who wish to know more, please refer to the Technical Guide for Revit Interoperability.
#MAGICAD REVIT UPDATE#
Either route offers the same key functionality, including: Importing iFC and gbXML file formats, Control over what data you want to import just the geometry, or include assigned data for example, the ability to update model data once imported. Firstly you can use the ‘Import BIM File’ from the landing page, or you can use the ‘Import/Export BIM’ Navigator workflow within the platform. There are a couple of handy functions within IESVE to import your Revit model. IESVE existing interoperability with Revit, is well known. Currently this provides a robust process for undertaking your Loads within IESVE and then through the new interoperability connection from VE19 FP3 you are able to export to MagiCAD to develop your Heating, Cooling and Ventilation design. We recently co presented with MagiCAD a webinar where you can see the workflow between IESVE and MagiCAD using the architect's Revit model. IESVE and MagiCAD have interoperability with Revit, offering a robust ecosystem for engineers to work within. This is typically set by the Architects, and in the UK this is Autodesk’s Revit. In this top tip I'll cover an overview of the interoperability between Revit, IESVE and MagiCAD.Ī key point to note, when using tools, they must have ability to work within a common modelling environment. Together with the analysis of IESVE and the MEP Design capabilities – you can be rest assured you have all you need for your projects. Known for its leadership in MEP design around the world using the latest digital capabilities, MagiCAD MEP is increasing its popularity in the UK. One of the coolest connections is with MagiCAD. Yes, IESVE is your choice for analysis, but IESVE also has the benefit for interoperability with a wide range of platforms.
#MAGICAD REVIT SOFTWARE#
With literarally thousands of software options to choose from and the need to have multiple platforms to deliver your projects – choosing the right combination can be challenging. If I try to define a system it says 'All elements could not be assigned to the system".Did you know you can export your Loads from IESVE direct to MagiCAD to develop your MEP Design? I've read the guide and tried to look in forums but there is no information for a total Noob like me.

I've been stuck on this for weeks now and can't seem to get past this simple step. I've also tried to do the same with domestic cold and hot water.

I need to define new supply and return systems - how do I do that? I've tried to simply import a pipe family, draw a supply and return pipe and then connect the radiator to them but the radiator cant find the pipes (I can only choose the default supply/return systems and the supply system is 4 degrees C and the return is 10 degrees C which gives an error message). I'm trying to connect a radiator to a very simple supply/return but have failed. I'm working in Revit 2015 and MagiCAD 2015. It's very fun but I'm trying to learn it without guidance and there is limited material out there.
