Case Study: Artécnica accelerates BIM-based HVAC design with Graphisoft DDScad and Archicad

Artécnica designs a 33,000-square-meter hospital in 2 weeks with Graphisoft

Artécnica, a Brazilian engineering firm specializing in HVAC systems, sought a cost-effective and easy-to-use MEP software solution to enhance their design and collaboration processes. They partnered with Graphisoft, implementing their DDScad software to meet this challenge and improve their workflow from 2D to 3D modeling.

The solution from Graphisoft centered on DDScad, which integrated seamlessly with Archicad and thermal analysis tools. This allowed Artécnica to rapidly convert 2D plans into 3D models, speed up thermal load generation, and facilitate OPEN BIM collaboration. The results included faster project turnaround, the ability to design complex systems for large hospitals and factories, and easy production of accurate documentation, significantly improving visualization and multidisciplinary coordination for their clients.
