ArCADia-HEATING INSTALLATIONS is an industry-specific module of the ArCADia BIM system, based on the ideology of Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Also, automatic generation of axonometric views, listings and the calculations necessary to develop the design documentation.
ArCADia-HEATING INSTALLATIONS is an industry-specific module of the ArCADia BIM system. The program enables the creation of professional technical documentation of internal heating installations in buildings. The program is intended for design engineers of internal sanitary installations.
The program allows the structural insertion of drawing elements on architectural foundations with the simultaneous creation of calculations schemes and the generation of three types of axonometric views. Additionally, it allows automatic selection of elements with consideration of the user’s preferences (a choice of catalogues for selecting elements) and automatic generation or reports and bills of materials or objects used in the project. The design may be executed on views of buildings created in the ArCADia-ARCHITECTURE program and executed in a CAD environment in the form of raster or vector files. The user may employ the library of elements used in heating installations, which can be expanded and adapted to the user’s needs in terms of the used equipment and types of pipeline materials. Furthermore, it is possible to develop a personal template with the option to save personal default settings for each program element and transfer it along with the project.
The program enables the checking of the correctness of the designed installation in terms of hydraulics and the selection of accessories.
