Revit MEP

Revit MEP is the design and construction documentation solution for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering. Seamlessly collaborate with architects using Revit Architecture software in an intuitive design environment. Minimize coordination errors with architects and structural engineers using the Revit platform and building information modeling (BIM) workflows. And with BIM, provide better decision making and building performance analysis support for the engineer.

Troubleshooting Revit MEP

A 20 minute video from Autodesk's Harlan Brumm and Jerry Lee Smith covering:

Overview of the Revit MEP Workflow

Create new project using MEP template
Save Arch model as central file on server
Link in models using origin-to-origin
setting links to be room bounding
copy/monitor levels
Setting up views and apply view templates to views
create levels to account for plenum spaces

Troubleshooting Spaces and Zones

space not visible in view
rooms are "unoccupied"

Troubleshooting Revit MEP Performance

Not following workflow
not creating logical systems
large connected duct networks
complicated families
poorly connected elements
Limit color schemes
place endcaps on open ducts
ensure flow direction on connectors is correct

This has very good information. But this gives presssure drop across single of piece of duct.

How can we get pressure drop across the longest path from AHU to Last Diffusers?

Thanks
