MagiCAD 2025 is a leading MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) design software released by MagiCAD Group, compatible with Autodesk Revit (2023.1–2025), AutoCAD (2021–2025), and BricsCAD platforms. It enhances MEP design efficiency with new and improved features, leveraging Europe’s largest product model database, containing over 1,000,000 products from 300 manufacturers with accurate dimensions and technical data. The software supports localization for various country-specific standards and is used in over 80 countries.

Key Features and Improvements:

  • Dry Sprinkler System Calculations: Available across all platforms, enabling design for sprinkler systems in extreme temperature conditions (below freezing or above boiling points) by calculating accurate water delivery times based on factors like water source, dry valve, network design, gas pressure, and sprinkler head properties.
  • Automatic Underfloor Heating Layouts: Enhanced machine learning algorithms in AutoCAD and BricsCAD versions optimize layouts by considering room shapes, obstacles, and cold walls, providing high-quality design suggestions.
  • Revit-Specific Enhancements:
    • Project Wizard Tool: Simplifies project setup by creating spaces based on linked IFC reference files.
    • Component Sizing Tool: Resizes components to match connected duct/pipe segments, even in incomplete networks.
    • System Classification Codes: Adds national classification codes for electrical systems (including communication/data systems) to improve project communication.
    • Radiator Improvements: Stores valve adjustment data as a radiator parameter, eliminating separate tags.
    • Calculation Upgrades: Includes supply pipe water flow temperature in heating/cooling reports, maximum nominal flow in sewer calculations, and improved pressure drop calculations for duct bends with guide vanes.
  • AutoCAD/BricsCAD-Specific Enhancements:
    • DIALux evo Import: Imports lighting plans in IFC format, allowing storey selection and luminaire mapping with elevation data.
    • Busbar and Bus System Handling: Adds bus host/circuit info to Object ID formats for unique device identifiers.
    • Thermal Bridge Support: Accounts for heat losses from thermal bridges (e.g., room corners, window/door frames) in heat loss calculations.
    • Help Manual Access: Press F1 while hovering over a feature button to open the relevant help section.
  • MagiCAD Connect: A free Revit add-in for accessing MagiCAD Cloud’s BIM object library and manufacturer-specific selection tools (e.g., Vallox, Purus, Hilti Firestop). Products are inserted in native RFA format.
