Autodesk Building Systems 3 Ships, Increasing Productivity for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineers; Integrated Solution Improves Accuracy of Construction Documentation.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

Autodesk University

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2002

Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSK ADSK Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ stock symbol) ), the world's leading design software and digital content company, announced today that Autodesk(R) Building Systems 3 software is available beginning December 5, 2002. This is the most complete building information modeling application for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP MEP maximum expiratory pressure.

) engineers. Constituting the third release of Autodesk(R) Building Mechanical and Autodesk(R) Building Electrical in just over one year, this new, combined product integrates functionality for all three MEP disciplines into one powerful and cost-effective application that makes it easier to produce accurate construction documents and models. Enhanced engineering-specific features reduce drafting time and improve accuracy, allowing professional engineers to focus more on solving actual building systems design problems. Expanded libraries and content creation tools eliminate the high costs of creating custom and manufacturer-specific equipment and part catalogs.

"Autodesk's Building Systems 3 application allows me to generate three-dimensional models for coordination and planning and two-dimensional building plans for normal day-to-day operations," said Randall S Randall may refer to the following:

Integrated MEP Solution

Incorporating Autodesk(R) Architectural Desktop 3.3 technology directly within the application, this single, stand-alone solution provides flexible tools to quickly and easily create precise digital models of mechanical, electrical and plumbing building systems. A number of enhanced features improve accuracy and reduce the time needed to manually control coordination of construction documentation. For example, engineers can now design duct and pipe runs more quickly by using the application's suggested solutions to layout problems that use predefined paths. Interference detection capabilities also save time by helping detect clashes among mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and the architectural structure An architectural structure is a free-standing, immobile outdoor construction.

The structure may be permanent. Typical examples include buildings and nonbuilding structures such as bridges, dams, electricity pylons, and radio masts.
.

Coordination mistakes that often occur in multiple, unrelated 2D drawings are eliminated. Since all design changes are dynamically linked, MEP engineers and architects can work together on the most up-to-date building information model, ensuring engineering documentation coordination.

Expanded content libraries for each of the disciplines and easy-to-use content creation tools reduce the costs of creating customized and manufacturer-specific equipment and part catalogs. With the Parametric Content Builder, for example, engineers can use one model definition to create hundreds of similar parts such as filters, dampers and strainers Water lines or kitchen systems can get gravel, deposits that break free, and other stray items in the line. The velocity of the water pushing them, they can severely damage or clog devices installed in the flow stream of the water line. . The improved content builder wizard lets designers easily create custom, view-dependent components with intelligent connectors and property sets for scheduling and then place these components in catalogs.
