Description

OpenBuildings Designer, previously known as AECOsim Building Designer, is Bentley's comprehensive solution for multi-discipline building information modeling (BIM). It enables users to explore, innovate, and expedite the design and construction of buildings more efficiently than ever before. With the ability to design, analyze, document, and visualize structures of varying sizes and complexities, it enhances communication of design intent while overcoming obstacles between different building disciplines and teams located in different regions. The software empowers users to advance their building information modeling practices, leading to quicker project delivery and increased assurance in aspects such as design integrity, workflow efficiency, and overall productivity. By fostering collaboration among architects, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers through a unified set of tools and processes, it streamlines project management. Furthermore, users can seamlessly integrate information from various formats and confidently tackle projects of all scales, ensuring that their design intentions are communicated clearly with customizable and dependable deliverables. This comprehensive approach ultimately transforms the building design process, making it more cohesive and effective.

Description

Developing 3D MEP models in Revit that are genuinely feasible for construction is essential. Stabicad enhances your design processes from the initial concept all the way to installation with its productivity tools that save time, provide comprehensive calculations compliant with UK standards, and ensure manufacturer content is always current. By utilizing Stabicad, you can surpass the basic features of Revit, significantly boosting your design productivity while generating functional mechanical and electrical outputs. It allows for straightforward design of piping systems, customization of switch ranges, and the integration of manufacturer-specific Revit families into a unified BIM model. As the construction industry increasingly embraces digital solutions for streamlined building design and construction workflows, the demand for accuracy has never been more critical. Consequently, Trimble MEP has opted to collaborate with CIBSE's innovative Software Verification Assessment program to validate the precision and effectiveness of Stabicad's robust calculation capabilities. This partnership not only enhances the software's reliability but also ensures that design professionals can trust the outputs they create.
