BIM (Building Information Modeling) software DESIGN ASSIST

designcalculationplug-in

DescriptionDesign Assist is a Revit-based design tool that leverages BIM data to select Swegon products and execute sizing and performance calculations in an automated workflow. Tasks that traditionally require days or weeks of manual calculation can be completed in seconds, reducing design time while increasing accuracy and consistency.

Key benefits

• Revit-based tool integrated as Revit plugins
• Automates product selection, sizing and calculations using BIM building data
• Reduces design time from days or weeks to seconds
• Improves design accuracy and helps minimise risk
• Enables faster insertion of products into projects via automation

Built-in plugins / first releases

• Acoustic Design Plugin — the first plugin built with Design Assist to automate room-sound calculations and to select, size and place silencers in HVAC projects

Videos / learning resources

• Weeks of acoustic design done in seconds — a short intro to the new Design Assist Revit plugin, developed for faster design.
• Webinar May 7th: Design Assist — introduction to Acoustic Design with Design Assist for Revit, automating room sound calculations and silencer selection/placement.

Swegon BIMSwegon provides BIM tools, CAD files and Revit Families to fit projects; Design Assist is built to use the extensive building data created within BIM models to automate calculations and selections.
