Trimble launches Stabicad for AutoCAD Mechanical

Stabicad for AutoCAD Mechanical integrates with Autodesk’s AutoCAD software. Trimble claims it offers “a more intuitive approach to MEP modelling, with a range of features and intelligent design tools that help users automate tasks, enabling significant productivity gains and time savings”.

By automating complex design processes and offering integrated, localised calculations, the software enhances design accuracy, reduces the risk of costly errors and helps maintain industry compliance with UK regulations, especially compared with traditional manual methods, Trimble said.

Stabicad for AutoCAD also provides access to an “extensive” library of manufacturer components and systems, allowing users to incorporate accurate and up-to-date content within their designs.

“The launch of Stabicad for AutoCAD transforms AutoCAD – it doesn’t replace it,” said Johan Schlingmann, senior director of product management at Trimble. “Instead, by bridging the gap between AutoCAD and Revit, Stabicad is the perfect solution for modern construction demands. The launch of this solution is a result of industry and customer feedback, with AutoCAD still a widely used solution within the UK market and MEP sector. With this latest release, AutoCAD users can also benefit from the intelligent modelling tools and streamlined workflows offered within Stabicad.”

Stabicad for AutoCAD also integrates with Revit, with the direct link allowing designs to be shared, edited and integrated into Revit-based projects, preventing data loss.

The current version of Stabicad for AutoCAD is available in the UK for mechanical design only.
