FireAcad ® comes complete with hydraulic calculations, at no extra cost. Some of the other programs do not have their own built-in calculations aand must exit Autodesk ® AutoCAD ® to do the calculations. Does not need to quit Autodesk ® AutoCAD ® to use the hydraulic calculation.FireAcad ® will also allow placing the hydraulic reference points on the drawing for the calculation area, or all the way back to the water source. Other programs must do this by hand, so if you do not get it right the first time, you must start all over - a very time-consuming task when done by hand. Can automatically lay out the hydraulic reference points.Perform Hazen-Williams, Darcy Weisbach and Chezy Manning calculations.Used Hazen-Williams formula as per NFPA.This can be very time consuming and prone to input error Competitors' programs that are only 2D can only do this by using a manual input. Can automatically calculate riser nipples, sprinkler drops and spig ups.Has built-in windows-based hydraulic calculations.Will automatically place and cut the riser nipples, drop nipples and hangers without any extra input.
This is done while drawing and is an important feature of the 3D command Can calculate the proper length of pipe and allow for head loss for a sloped roof.Can create 3D drawings able to be used in Autodesk ® AutoCAD ®, Audodesk ® Navisworks ®, or Autodesk ® Revit MEP for BIM (Building Information Modelling) drawings.
