AUTOFLUID

AUTOFLUID, developed by TracéoCAD, is a suite of software applications designed to streamline the design and installation processes of air conditioning, heating, and sanitary networks. According to the vendor, this solution caters to a wide range of businesses, including engineering firms, architectural firms, construction companies, and HVAC contractors. Professionals in the fields of HVAC engineering, mechanical engineering, plumbing engineering, architecture, and construction rely on AUTOFLUID to accelerate their design workflow and ensure the creation of high-quality plans.

Key Features

Enhanced Productivity: AUTOFLUID aims to improve productivity by offering a more fluid and natural workflow, allowing for faster selection and quick actions. According to the vendor, the software's intelligent commands can recognize the type of routing being used, which can streamline the design process.

BIM Integration: AUTOFLUID seamlessly integrates with BIM models by incorporating level parameters into project preferences. This integration aims to enhance coordination with REVIT and ensure the reliable distribution of networks on their corresponding levels, facilitating collaboration and project coordination.

Intelligent Commands: AUTOFLUID transforms toolbars into ribbons, providing a new dimension in routing commands. The software's intelligent commands are designed to automatically recognize the type of routing being used and adapt adjacent objects accordingly, simplifying the design process.

Rubberbands in AUTOFLUID INFINITY: The redesigned ribbons in AUTOFLUID INFINITY aim to provide a more structured and direct access to commands, enhancing user experience. The improved visual connection with the position of each tool, unified color palette, and redesigned icons are intended to improve readability and recognition.

Seamless Updates: AUTOFLUID INFINITY aims to ensure constant improvement of the suite by providing easy access to the latest updates and patches. According to the vendor, users receive notifications of new features and patches within the application, with the option to learn more or install updates directly from the software.

Multi-PC Activation: AUTOFLUID INFINITY allows for the activation of the suite on multiple PCs using a unique IDN code. This flexibility enables users to work on different PCs, including remote work or client sites, while seamlessly transitioning between different workstations with personalized settings.

AUTOCOUPE: AUTOFLUID's AUTOCOUPE feature generates automatic sections or cuts from any 2D network created within the software. Users can position the cut as desired in the drawing, preview it before validation, and integrate architectural elements if needed.

Trait de Coupe et Environnement Architectural: AUTOFLUID offers users the ability to choose a customizable name and position the section cut in just three clicks. The section cut contains all level information, and users can adjust the thickness and levels of slabs, false ceilings, and raised floors to meet specific project requirements. Additionally, users can personalize the sections by selecting only the architectural entities they want to display.

AUTOBIM3D Xport: AUTOBIM3D Xport aims to facilitate the transformation of 2D networks into 3D BIM models. The software allows for the export of 3D files in .IFC format, which is compatible with most popular BIM software. According to the vendor, this feature ensures the reliability of 2D networks in 3D and enables users to modify the 3D networks directly in their preferred BIM software using the .IFC and .RVT formats.

RVT-Connect: AUTOFLUID provides a free Revit plug-in called RVT-Connect, enabling the integration of AUTOFLUID networks into BIM models. With this plug-in, users can generate and manage floor plans from REVIT, automatically position networks in the BIM model while respecting spatial coordinates, import and modify AUTOFLUID networks directly within their BIM software, and easily share networks with collaborators who use REVIT without requiring them to master the software.
