Hello there
Have been working as an MEP BIM Technician/Coordinator for a few years now. Though mainly with some 'other software' (which shall remain nameless for now).
Have used Revit MEP for a couple of years or so and am generally OK with what you might call 'general 3D modelling' and drawing production (so not including analysis, schedules, calculating wire sizes and such) ...
Used Autocad many years ago. But that was quite few years ago. Since, I've only really had to use it to open the occasional deg, do some very minor edits, take some dimensions and so on.
I see now that standard Autocad also includes 7 extra toolsets (looks quite impressive).
Amongst these are the Electrical Toolset and the MEP Toolset.
Wanted to ask then, amongst the MEP crew, if anyone has uses either of these?
Have just installed Autocad Electrical. Looks quite impressive.
Though I work in the building sector, not electrical engineering.
Running (very briefly) through the features of Autocad MEP, this seems as though it might be preferable to Autocad Electrical for buildings. Autocad Electrical looks like it would be more suitable if you're actually designing/modelling electrical componenets: Distribution boards, Switchboards, 3-phase motors and the like.
So, ..... does anyone have any experience of these and if so, which would be more suitable for (electrical) building design and engineering (schematics mainly at this stage)
Cheers
