ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS 2

What is ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS?

ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS is an industry-specific module of the ArCADia system, based on the ideology of Building Information Modelling (BIM) which expands the capabilities of the ArCADia BIM program. This module is intended for designers of sanitary installations and allows for creating the professional documentation of internal gas installations.

The ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS allows you to create installation drawings, while creating calculation schemes and generating axonometric views and developments. This module enables the automatic selection of elements, taking into account the preferences of the user. (catalogues selection). The module allows you to check the correctness of the designed installation in terms of hydraulics and the selection of equipment.

ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS is a module that expands the capabilities of the ArCADia BIM program, which means that part of the options for designing gas installations is in the basic version of the program.

Features of the ArCADia-GAS INSTALLATIONS module:

• Ability to transform a regular CAD line installation into the gas pipe structure to become objects of the ArCADia system.
• The determination of the design gas demand for a building supplied with gas of any combustion properties, including the coincidence factor.
• The performance of calculations for total pressure loss for all routes to gas appliances and the determination of the minimum and maximum pressure before a gas appliance.
• Generation of calculation schemes for all gas supply paths to receivers.
• Automatic creation of a drawing of the development of the entire designed gas installation
• Automatic creation of an axonometric drawing of the entire designed gas installation
• Possibility of inserting fittings directly on the axonometry drawing with automatic consideration on the view and in the lists.
• The generation of calculation reports containing sectional gas losses in individual design sections, with the possibility of adjusting the diameters of sections.

PLEASE NOTE:
