Empowering mechanical designers by bridging the gap between AutoCAD and Revit
Trimble, a leading provider of construction management technology solutions, has announced the launch of Stabicad® for AutoCAD® Mechanical in the UK, offering enhanced functionality for mechanical professionals with precise designs, streamlined workflows, and improved collaboration.
Streamlining for boosted productivity
Developed exclusively for mechanical engineers, designers, and contractors, Stabicad for AutoCAD Mechanical integrates seamlessly with the familiar Autodesk® AutoCAD software. It enhances and streamlines MEP design workflows by adding a powerful layer of intelligence, expertly bridging the gap between traditional CAD drafting and intelligent modelling. This allows users to deliver accurate, compliant and BIM-ready projects with greater speed and precision.
The new powerful mechanical design solution offers a more intuitive approach to MEP modelling, with a range of features and intelligent design tools that help users automate tasks, enabling significant productivity gains and time savings. By automating complex design processes and offering integrated, localised calculations, this solution enhances design accuracy, reduces the risk of costly errors and helps maintain industry compliance with UK regulations, especially when compared to traditional manual methods.
Providing access to useful data
Stabicad for AutoCAD also provides access to an extensive library of real-world manufacturer components and systems, allowing users to easily incorporate accurate and up-to-date content within their designs.
“The launch of Stabicad for AutoCAD transforms AutoCAD – it doesn’t replace it,” said Johan Schlingmann, senior director – Product Management at Trimble. “Instead, by bridging the gap between AutoCAD and Revit®, Stabicad is the perfect solution for modern construction demands. The launch of this solution is a result of industry and customer feedback, with AutoCAD still a widely used solution within the UK market and MEP sector. With this latest release, AutoCAD users can also benefit from the intelligent modelling tools and streamlined workflows offered within Stabicad.”
Stabicad for AutoCAD also offers a unique integration with Revit, with the direct link allowing designs to be easily shared, edited and integrated into Revit-based projects, preventing data loss. This collaboration within broader BIM or IFC ecosystems allows users to transition smoothly between platforms and leverage the strengths of both AutoCAD and Revit to optimise design processes.
The current version of Stabicad for AutoCAD is available in the UK for mechanical design only.
