Bricscad mechanical update#

A variety of standard valves has been added to the Mechanical Library for use in piping design workflows.Īutomatically generated bolted connections insert the proper number of fasteners, and update automatically with one click when pipe size, rating, or other specification change.

These automatically created assemblies support a top-down workflow for pipe design. Piping design is more intelligent in V22, with an automated tool that converts BIM flow segments and fittings into mechanical assemblies, composed of standard piping parts. These components can now be defined from Blocks, external references (XREFs) or 3D solids. Also, a new approach to creating and using Mechanical Blocks in V22 enables more flexibility and speed in building assemblies. Cost roll-ups and manufacturing planning efficiencies can be better realised by incorporating these custom properties into a product’s Bill of Materials (BOM). Custom properties, such as ‘manufacturer name’ or ‘delivery date’ can now be added to components in an assembly, improving downstream understanding of the product’s design. The latest version of BricsCAD Mechanical adds value to the manufacturing process across multiple areas: Assembly design, validation, and BOM creationīricsCAD Mechanical provides powerful tools that deliver simple and fast assembly design and modifications. Users have the flexibility to choose their design approach: bottom-up, as parametric catalogue items, or top-down, as custom-made products, all in the context of the building. The introduction of a unique, automated one-step solid-to-sheet metal process facilitates faster development of sheet metal components.įor those developing mechanical products in the context of a building, BricsCAD Mechanical unites manufacturing with BIM and Point Cloud scans in a way that is unlike any other solution.

V22 delivers enhancements to BricsCAD Mechanical’s unique variational 3D modeling capability, which enables fast and accurate design from concept to detail, and improvements to BricsCAD Mechanical’s powerful multi-CAD import workflows. While the core BricsCAD platform can address a wide range of design needs such as product development in 2D or 3D, BricsCAD Mechanical caters to manufacturers with more advanced requirements, such as complex assemblies, sheet metal, and piping design. “We’ve developed our technology to make design accessible to all manufacturers, by providing all the tools designers need, in a familiar user interface, and at a reasonable price point.” “Our mission is to help manufacturers create products quickly and flexibly, with the limited resources they have,” said Dmitry Ushakov, BricsCAD Mechanical Product Owner.
