TURKU, Finland, Jul 3, 2023 – MagiCAD Group releases MagiCAD 2024 with VAV system calculation and new tools for efficient MEP design in Revit and AutoCAD. MagiCAD 2024 deliveries have now started. The new version introduces a host of new intelligent tools for MEP design.
MagiCAD 2024 offers designers powerful tools to design and calculate variable air volume (VAV) systems in both Revit and AutoCAD environments. With the new functionality users are able to simulate different usage scenarios in order to find the optimal balance of comfort and energy-efficiency.
Other highlights in MagiCAD 2024 for Revit, include a Project Wizard tool that combines everything needed to start a new project in one easy-to-use window, and a View Manager tool, for creating and managing views. Modelling work is easier with the possibility to copy branches between levels and electrical designers will also benefit from multiple new additions, such as ELV data for products.
MagiCAD 2024 for AutoCAD provides the possibility to assign classification standards for systems, enabling automatic classification codes to be added for objects during the design. Other improvements that help the daily work of MEP designers include labeling objects to enable custom filtering in reporting and file exports and the possibility to update saved products directly from MagiCAD Cloud.
