Description

Our goal is to empower engineers by enabling them to swiftly create and modify product designs in 3D, all without the need to master complex conventional CAD software. We offer a variety of complimentary design tools and resources that help transform your most innovative ideas into tangible products ready for production. Whether you need a simple design tool, extensive technical details, or a comprehensive design ecosystem, our complete suite can easily integrate into your current design workflow. You can import or save 3D models from multiple suppliers in the RSDOC format to enhance your ongoing DesignSpark Mechanical projects and expedite your design timeline. Instantly generate a Bill of Materials (BoM) with a single click and access quotes featuring real-time pricing and stock availability via the RS online or Allied Electronics platforms. This service is made possible through our collaboration with TraceParts S.A., a leading provider of 3D digital content tailored for engineering purposes, ensuring that you have the best tools at your disposal to elevate your design capabilities. By simplifying the design process, we enable engineers to focus more on creativity and innovation.

Description

h2x is an engineering design and calculation platform developed for mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection professionals. The software enables users to design building services systems while automatically calculating pipe sizes, duct dimensions, flow rates, velocities, and pressure losses. Its HVAC design tools support heating and cooling load calculations, ductwork layouts, hydronic systems, and equipment sizing. Plumbing capabilities include domestic water distribution, wastewater drainage, stormwater systems, and gas pipework design. Fire protection design features support sprinkler, hydrant, and hose system layouts and hydraulic sizing calculations. The platform connects engineering calculations directly to system drawings, allowing design changes to trigger automatic recalculation of affected components. Users can review systems in a 3D environment to identify potential coordination issues and evaluate system performance. h2x generates technical reports, branded PDF drawings, bills of materials, and files compatible with AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit. Its integrated workflow helps engineering consultants, contractors, and building services designers manage system calculations, technical documentation, and design coordination.
