Features

From design to calculation and visualization through generation of deliverables, DDScad supports your practice with intelligent solutions for greater efficiency. Design Automatic dimensioning and hydraulic balancing of heating and cooling systems, as well as potable water systems, are just some of the powerful capabilities DDScad has to offer. Integrated product information makes your design more than just graphical symbols and lines. International standards are considered from sketch to output. Calculate Sanitary & heating system design is based on intelligent objects like pipes and radiators with stored information. This data also serves as starting point for automatic calculations. Design and calculation are integrated – change the model and the calculation will be updated automatically and vice versa. This saves time and prevents errors. Visualize Create high-level presentations and get customer buy-in faster, thanks to DDScad Sanitary & Heating’s powerful visualization capabilities. A connection to BIMx offers the ability to view and share 3D models, plans, and project information on a variety of different devices and operating systems. Document From reports, line and system diagrams, and installation plans to parts lists: Create accurate documentation quickly and easily with DDScad Sanitary & Heating. Print the results, create a 3D visualization, or export the bill of quantities directly to a cost estimating solution.

Add-on modules

Flexibly expand the technical scope of your software package by adding the following modules. There are also other add-on modules available to expand the visualization options for example. Offerings may vary depending on location. Check with your local partner for details and availability. Cooling load calculation and energy simulations Perform dynamic cooling load calculations according to ASHRAE or VDI 2078, as well as energy simulations to compare different sanitary & heating systems, using a bidirectional interface with IDA ESBO from EQUA. Benefit from the seamless exchange between the two software applications for the smooth transfer of spatial data and simulation results. More specialist functions for sanitary & heating Expand the software according to your needs with the add-on module for waste water system calculation according to EN 12056. Another module for U-value and heat load calculation according to EN 12831-1 is already included in the basic equipment.
