Bentley Building Mechanical Systems - HVAC - Plumbing - 1

With an intuitive user interface, extensive libraries of components, and powerful modeling, drafting, andreporting tools, Bentley Building Mechanical Systems supports all phases of the engineering workflow, from the design and modeling of air-handling and plumbing systems to analysis and construction docu- mentation. Integrating design, visualization, drawing production, and reporting of quantities and costs, Bentley Building Mechanical Systems is part of Bentleys BIM solution of integrated design, engineering, and management applications for the entire lifecycle of constructed assets. Used on large and complex projects around the world, Bentley Building Mechanical Systems was specifically developed to support workgroups and distributed teams in a managed environment, allowing architects, engineers, and con- tractors to build as one. BIM enables business-critical benefits over traditional computer-aided drafting (CAD), eliminates waste,significantly reduces errors and omissions, provides greater predictability of costs and performance, allows exploration of more design options, and ultimately results in better buildings. > Amultidisciplinary buildinginformation model Components such as rectangular, round, oval or flexible ducts; pipes; connectors; in-line devices; valves; grilles and diffusers; dampers; filters; and silencers are fully parametric, thus allowing dimension-driven creation and modification. A variety of country-specific standards are supported, and metric and imperial components can also be chosen from selected manufacturersҒ catalogs. Rapid design and production is facilitated through automatic placement of transitions and connectors, automatic diffuser hookup to ducts, and automatic sloping of complete piping systems. > Parametric fittings The building information model can be created and manipulated in a traditional 2D plan or an advanced 3D model environment - using the same tools and interface for either. > Plans, sections, and elevations comply with user-definable drawing standards and rules for resymboliza- tion and annotation. Options areprovided for single-line duct or pipe representation, removal or display of hidden lines, and extensive labeling and annotation of ducts, pipes, and fittings. Coordination and consistency is thereby ensured across all documentation. > Integration with CAM-Duct (M.A.P.) for automated fabrication User-definable attributes and properties associated with mechanical and plumbing components can be used to query the information model, to make selective or global changes to the geometry and nongraph- ical information, and to generate accurate component schedules and material takeoffs. > Duct and piping systems can be analyzed for connectivity and flow paths, while a Bentley duct sizer and the Trane Ductulator allow performance-based duct sizing. Custom components, ducts, and fittings can be created with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to meet fabrication standards. The interface to CAM- Duct (M.A.P.) provides seamless integration from design to fabrication. > Visit us on the Web for more information about Bentley solutions and services. www .bentley .com >
