Autodesk® Revit® MEP software for Building Information Modeling (BIM) supports mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers with integrated design, analysis, and documentation tools. The intelligent 3D models the software provides helps keep designs accurate, coordinated, and consistent throughout the design process. Integrated analysis capabilities and support for complimentary Autodesk and partner solutions help deliver more energy-efficient building systems designs. Communicate design intent more clearly with 3D visualizations and 2D documentation. Documentation remains coordinated no matter how many iterations, and built-in interference detection features help reduce the cost in the field. Revit models can be shared across project teams using Revit platform products to support consistency.

AutoCAD® MEP software is the discipline-specific version of AutoCAD® software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designers and drafters. The software’s more intuitive systems and design tools provide greater drafting productivity with the flexibility to make last-minute design changes more quickly and easily. AutoCAD MEP automates tedious drafting tasks, enabling designers and drafters to create more accurate construction documentation, faster. Sharing, collaborating, and coordinating with architects, structural engineers, and contractors is easier using the software’s reliable, widely used DWG™ file format.

AutoCAD 2012: Take Design Further
AutoCAD^® delivers the powerful tools you need to seamlessly participate in 3D design workflows, helping drive your projects to completion more quickly than ever before, with new and expanded workflows for conceptual design, model documentation, and reality capture. More easily explore, document, and communicate design ideas with a wide range of time-saving enhancements to the features you use most.
Design: With flexible mesh, surface, and solid modeling tools – along with the benefits of Autodesk Inventor Fusion – AutoCAD provides the flexibility to explore design ideas quickly and easily.
Document: New Model Documentation tools enable you to save time by automatically generating intelligent documentation for AutoCAD, Inventor, and other models.
Communicate: Native DWG technology support allows you to effectively collaborate across teams, sharing design data securely, efficiently, and accurately.
Customize: Configure your settings, extend the software, build custom workflows, develop your own application, or simply select an industry-tailored version already available. And new migration tools help ease your transition to AutoCAD 2012 from previous versions.

Design and shape the world around you with AutoCAD® 2012 for Mac® software. Explore your ideas with design tools that can create almost any shape

The IES VE-Toolkits are ideal for very early stage indicative feedback, when time is short and answers need to be rapid. A variety of VE-Toolkits offer different capabilities – automatically running the chosen analysis and generating interactive visual and rich-text reports within minutes, and all at the press of just a few buttons. Technical selections are also made straightforward with pre-populated choices. Direct connectivity to SketchUp™, Revit® and ArchiCAD® allows quick, effective feedback direct from early architectural models. A choice of typical building properties eliminates the need for detailed information, while links to global weather files provide real climate data. VE-Toolkit users will build an important understanding of how the proposed design responds to the environment, and what strategies are candidates for further investigation. Answering the question “am I moving in the right direction?” the IES VE-Toolkits help the design team establish the most appropriate sustainable and energy efficient approach – one that can be progressed in detail using VE-Gaia and VE-Pro.
