How can i model radiant heating on Mep?

[Anonymous]

Good afternoon to everybody,

I have started modeling Mep since not so much time,

I would like to know the best option to model this radiant heating made by ducts.

I've tried to model with default ducts but it doesn't look a good option.

I've searched as well for families but didn't find much on the web...

Thank you,

G.

Radiant heating is usually done with pipes. In fact, I can't think of any that is done with ducts. What you are showing is done with pipes, though. On the design side, we don't usually model the pipes and just show the area to be heated along with the manifold(s), pipes and pump(s) feeding the manifold, etc.. If you are doing fabrication, you might want to look into 3rd party applications for automatic or manual piping layouts.

Sorry, I was wrong writing. I tried to model with pipes, not duct.

Where can I find this 3d party application that you recommend?

thank you

I don't know. I do HVAC design, not fabrication. Ask around, some vendors have free access to their layout design software.

Look for the family in the example project "golden nugget" from Revit MEP.

Here you find the "Golden Nugget" with radiators.

Radiators are not radiant flooring.
