Revit MEP 2009

Revit MEP software—the BIM solution for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering and design.

Revit MEP software works the way engineers and designers of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems think, with tools to intuitively create, design, and document building systems.

Purpose-built for building information modelling (BIM), Revit MEP enables engineers and designers to visualize their designs before they are built, helping to minimize design coordination errors between the engineering and architecture teams working on integrated projects.

With parametric change technology, any change is automatically coordinated everywhere in the project, including model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans.

Design and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete. Partner applications and built-in tools for building performance analysis support better design decision making for more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable designs.

MEP Spaces

Revit MEP 2009 includes the ability to create spaces that are independent of rooms. Areas that are too small to be classified as a space are accounted for automatically. This capability provides increased control over how the geometry of the area is defined in the analysis results.

HVAC Zone Element

New to Revit MEP 2009 are HVAC zones. This powerful feature enables engineers to dissect architectural rooms into identifiable spaces and groups of spaces, based on engineering volumes, required as part of systems equipment selection as well as to perform accurate heating and cooling loads calculations.

Heating and Cooling Loads

Heating and cooling loads reports have also been enhanced to reflect the powerful HVAC zones and spaces functionality new to Revit MEP 2009. Loads reports have been reformatted to logically display crucial design calculation results, including check sum values for identified zones or spaces.

Plumbing Calculations

Revit MEP 2009 includes enhanced plumbing flow calculations to more accurately reflect plumbing standard flow calculations and conversions from fixture units to flow values in GPM. You can also view the fixture units in the System Inspector.

Modelling in Section and Elevation

Revit MEP 2009 includes enhanced design tools, and the ability to model in section and elevations improves design and layout functionality.

Mechanical Display and Layout

In Revit MEP 2009 you can size ductwork with improved duct justification integrity, helping to ensure communication of design intent.

Size List Integration

With the goal of providing tools to create virtual building systems and components, sizing table integration increases capacity to control system settings to reflect real-world MEP systems requirements. Quickly define the behavior of MEP systems components for more robust design and calculation results.

Design Layout Tools

In this release of Revit MEP, users have greater control for more comprehensive layouts. Easily modify proposed layout solutions using the Layout Path tool by simply dragging main and branch sketch lines to better customize your layout.

Panel Schedules

The filter dialog has been enhanced to list the number of elements in each category as well as a total element count. The total element count can also be viewed from outside the Filter dialog in the status area next to the filter icon. The filter icon doubles as a shortcut to the Filter dialog.

View Navigation Tools

Revit MEP 2009 includes a number of major enhancements improving user experience and the navigation of the Revit 3d environment. ViewCube which is located in the upper-right corner of the screen helps users switch between different viewpoints without confusion. SteeringWheels based on Autodesk’s patent-pending Tracking Menus technology enables users to navigate safely and smoothly around objects and within interior and exterior spaces.
