![]() Now, getting a good model exported from Revit without a lot of cleanup.that's a whole other discussion. I'm finding that it's a fairly easy platform to pick up as a Trace user. We're pursuing the full version of IES now. heat load, piping and other calculations Schedules & specifications Bill of. And imo, a misleading tool in the hands of architects who think they can do load calcs now. and mechanical design calculations using DIALux and CAMEL software. My conclusion was that this feature is pretty useless for an engineer. Not the case with Trane Trace (and any other load software) The methodology and the results are all but hidden. ![]() But I have to be able to confirm the numbers. Listen, I'm not saying i want to do the math, that's why i have this software. We pesky engineers, always getting confused by math.hmmm. Their reply basically said to read the ApacheLoad Calculations manual (I already did.) and went on to say that the calculation methodology is very complicated and full of math, so it'd be pretty hard to explain to me. I sent a lengthy summary of these questions to the Autodesk folks. I also found that some of the room type information doesn't match up with what's listed in Appendix C of the user's guide. But the ApacheLoads Calculations user manual says a delta T of 14.4 is being used. You don't see any sort of envelope/solar load or any mass heat transfer.Īlso, the calculated cfm is based on a delta T of 20, which is fine. ![]() The summary only shows the lighting, equipment, and misc load for each space. And you don't get much of a break down of those loads. Right off the bat, Revit MEP is limited to peak loads calcs only. I've been down this very paring results to Trane Trace.
