MagiCAD works for you

The professional’s choice for Building Services

MagiCAD enhances your ability to runbuilding services projects with a fast andcost-efficient workflow. You will produceoutstanding results and increase your com-petitive strength.

CooperationWhen designing building services you arepart of a team of specialists, not only in yourown company but also with other compa-nies and their specialists.

MagiCAD has been developed over morethan 10 years in close cooperation with endusers, consultants, contractors and otherspecialists in building services.

This close cooperation has been vital in ourefforts to fulfil our customers’ visions,

continuity and standards requirements, aswell as everyday working practices.

OpennessMagiCAD is prepared for interaction with allparties involved in a building project – archi-tects, structural designers, installation work-ers, contractors, developers and facility man-agers.

MagiCAD runs on every AutoCAD basedplatform. Project models are available in theDWG format, as well as in the open IFC for-mat.

This is one of the ways that MagiCAD hon-ours customers' demands for free and opencommunication with other CAD programs.

Join the MagiCAD flow

“WSP Systems has used MagiCAD for many years. The company’s last contract for MagiCAD is the thirdlong-term contract in succession and runs until 2011. The first was signed back in 2003. Currently, wecan’t see any reason to choose another solution. The alternatives available would mean a huge stepbackwards in development.” Anders Tysander, deputy MD at WSP, Sweden.

MagiCAD is fully compatible with the latestIFC standard. You can export an IFC file ofyour design model, complete with geometri-cal and technical data. Your partner, usingother IFC-compatible software, can put yourbuilding services model into immediate use.

BIM experienceBIM (Building Information Model) is thebuilding industry’s best bet for improvingefficiency in the building process. All theway from the architect’s first sketches to thereal estate manager’s rental considerations,BIM will provide higher quality, reducedlead times and fewer mistakes.

Progman, the company behind MagiCAD,has been an active supporter of open stan-dards, IFC and BIM for many years. As aresult, MagiCAD users have already beenable to use the program’s benefits in BIMprojects.

Cost controlTo provide our customers with the most up-to-date solutions, Progman regularly issuesnew versions of MagiCAD. Subscription cus-tomers will automatically receive the latestversion, possible intermediate versions andupdates as soon as they are available.

With a MagiCAD subscription you know theyearly program costs exactly. It makes budg-eting easier and there will be no unex-pected charges. Also, it costs less than order-ing basic upgrades.

Subscription is a smart way of handling anynumber of licenses in the company. How-ever, it’s not mandatory. You are always freeto choose to be a subscription customer ornot.

“Introducing MagiCAD at S2F has been a positive experience. The ease of use for people used to AutoCADdramatically reduces the training needed. Only a couple of days training is required to be productivecompared to months with other BIM packages. It has also been an effortless procedure to tailorMagiCAD to Australian conditions.” Johan Brink, Senior Mechanical Designer, S2F Pty Ltd., Australia.

It’s a highly versatile program, suitable fordesigning and drawing all kinds of projectsfrom private homes, office buildings andschools to the most complicated hospitalsand industrial plants.

MagiCAD is probably the most widespreadCAD application for building services innorthern Europe. It’s also used in Russia,China, Australia, Dubai and other parts ofthe world. Users are found in large as wellas in small companies.

Real productsWith MagiCAD you are free to design with3D models of real products. Dimensions andall relevant technical data are included inthe models. Thus, both plans and calcula-tions are always based on real products andaccurate product data.

With a database covering hundreds of thou-sands of products from leading manufactur-ers around the world, MagiCAD offers by farthe broadest selection on the market.

New products and manufacturers are alsoconstantly introduced. As a MagiCAD cus-tomer you can download the entire data-base or just a single product from the Inter-net free of charge.

PluginsMany product manufacturers develop soft-ware applications that make the productselection process faster, easier and moreaccurate.

Such applications typically include productdimensioning and calculations of basic tech-nical data. A versatile choice of MagiCADplugins enables direct data transferbetween MagiCAD projects and otherdimensioning and product selection pro-grams.

Specialised softwareTo complement the MagiCAD applications,Progman provides tailormade softwaredevelopment for manufacturers and build-ing consultants.

These solutions are based on Progman’slong-standing experience in the field ofbuilding services. The development is carriedout in close cooperation with the customer.The software is stable, easy to install anduser-friendly.

“A project the size of Akershus must be future-proof. 3D modelling was a natural choice, as was thechoice of MagiCAD for the HVAC design. We are very pleased with MagiCAD – there is no better pro-gram on the market today. It has high functionality and is very user-friendly. We can work faster, smarterand with less errors. Much of the tedious routine work is eliminated, leaving more time for the actualdesign work.” Trine Lise Folvik, CAD manager at SWECO Grøner, Norway.

Dedicated to professionals

“MagiCAD is the best design software I have ever seen for building services. MagiCAD Ventilation,Heating & Piping and Electrical are in daily use throughout the Granlund Group.”Reijo Hänninen, CEO, Olof Granlund Oy, Finland.

MagiCAD provides immediate productivity,whatever your local building standards andregulations are. MagiCAD also has a lot ofautomatic and time-saving functions toassist your work.

Localised templatesMagiCAD includes localised project tem-plates, enabling you to be productive assoon as you have made your purchase. Youcan also create your own templates accord-ing to your company’s standards or the pro-ject’s requirements.

The project templates include all necessarybasic settings: layer definitions, colours, textformats, systems, products, cables, cabletrays, insulation series, pipe materials, ductseries, sizing criteria and so on.

2D and 3DWith MagiCAD it’s easy to design directly in3D. With one click you can switch from 3Dto 2D or a schematic wire-frame presenta-tion. All changes you make in one view areautomatically updated in the other views.3D improves your competitiveness andMagiCAD makes 3D much simpler!

Collision controlCollision control helps you avoid costlyerrors at an early stage of the design proj-ect. Valuable time is saved and cooperationamong project partners becomes very sim-ple.

MagiCAD’s collision control simplifies thecoordination of all building services objects– ventilation, heating, piping, electrical, etc.– as well as coordination with the building’sgeometry and structural components.

Easy to learn, easy to use

”ÅF has worked with MagiCAD since 1999. We place great value on MagiCAD as a tried and tested CADtool. We use MagiCAD on AutoCAD on a daily basis for both small and large-scale projects. The MagiCADteam has made a consistent effort to support the open and neutral IFC format. This has helped us to useMagiCAD in our external calculation programs in the early design stages as well as in the building man-agement stages.” Björn Qvist, Senior Vice President Installation. ÅF-Infrastruktur AB, Sweden.

CalculationsOne of the major advantages in MagiCADare the calculation functions. MagiCAD pro-vides sizing, balancing, flow route examina-tion, sprinkler calculations, different soundcalculations and heat loss calculations.

MagiCAD can also export data to externalcalculation programs, to produce for exam-ple lighting and energy calculations.

LogisticsWith MagiCAD it’s easy to have up-to-dateknowledge of products and parts used in aproject. Powerful bill of materials function-ality results in improved logistics. The flowof materials at the workplace can bedirected to the right area, even to individualrooms.

The reduced time required to move materi-als around will release time for more effi-cient installation work and a faster, cost-effi-cient building process.
