How to download MEP Modeler for Windows and MAC
MEP Modeler is an extension for ArchiCAD that allows users to create, edit, and import 3D MEP networks (pipes, conduits, and cable trays) and coordinate them within the software environment.
Lack of coordination between operations typically accounts for up to 2-4% of a project’s total cost , in addition to the resulting delays and missed schedules. Faced with this scenario, building owners are looking for ways to drastically reduce these errors, and MEP Modeler can be a powerful ally in improving architects’ efficiency.
This extension also improves the import of IFC models with MEP content from mechanical engineering or analysis applications. Similarly, MEP Modeler allows collision detection between imported MEP systems and the project’s architectural elements.
What functions can I perform with MEP Modeler?
MEP Smart Tour
The MEP Routing feature allows you to create MEP systems quickly and easily. These elements are automatically placed along a route predefined by the user and following a set of rules.
Placement of MEP elements
The software facilitates the individual placement of each duct, tray, or tube, allowing connections to be generated one by one, while the position of the elements can be determined individually.
MEP Systems
The software provides a representation of connected MEP elements from the MEP systems themselves, facilitating more efficient creation and modification. Elements added to the system will automatically have the appropriate connection parameters.
Customize MEP elements
Another very useful feature of MEP Modeler is the ability to customize elements using ArchiCAD’s own tools, such as walls, objects, or shapes. These customized elements also have the same intelligent behavior as the other original elements.
MEP object library at your fingertips
The software itself provides a specific library of MEP objects, properly configured and including smart connections for automatic connection during MEP system drawing.
MEP Tools
Using the MEP Modeler toolbox, you can create components for various MEP systems, such as straight segments of HVA ducts, electrical wiring trays, or pipes.
