    Better cooperation and more sustainable planning with automatic BIM model tests. BIM model checks ensure that your construction project is accurate and error-free by detecting and correcting errors in the model at an early stage. This saves you expensive and time-consuming corrections during the construction phase. Comparing models makes it possible to quickly identify and correct deviations. This means lower costs for you and on-time completion of the project. BIM model checks also allow you to improve collaboration and coordination within the team. Potential problems become visible as early as the planning phase, which increases efficiency and communication within the project team. With an optimized BIM workflow, the entire project execution becomes smoother. Ultimately, BIM helps to complete projects faster, more cost-efficiently, and with higher quality. For you, this means more transparency and security throughout the entire construction process.

    FloCAD

    FloCAD

    C&R Technologies

    FloCAD® is a fluid dynamics software add-on module for Thermal Desktop®, together they provide a complete thermohydraulic software tool for fully integrated fluid flow and heat transfer analysis. With FloCAD, the mechanics of building fluid flow models is very similar to that of building thermal models, with many of the commands applicable to both types of models. FloCAD models can be free-form (non-geometric), sketchpad style flow network modeling for abstraction and simplification, or they can be geometry-based by including objects such as pipe centerlines and cross-sections, complexly shaped vessels, or convection to finite difference of finite element representations of thermal structures. As a generalized pipe flow software tool, FloCAD captures the pressure drops in a piping network due to bends, valves, tees, changes in flow area, etc.
