Electrical and mechanical systems can be designed by Revit 2023 at all stages of a workflow, from conceptual design and analysis to design and documentation of design deliverables and improvements to support detailed construction design.
These improvements have contributed to the improvement of a number of strategic areas, such as utilizing analytics to generate design and using models as deliverables for the construction phase, which have been addressed with these improvements.
A number of the top ideas on the Revit Idea Station were also addressed in these two documents, which have been addressed in several of the top ideas that have received the most votes.
Revit 2023 Features
Analytical workflow for electrical preliminary design:
Electrical engineers may now describe data relevant to power distribution at an early stage of the design process using Revit’s new power distribution capabilities.
Revit can now manage the important electrical loads and distribution data without having to physically model any of it thanks to this new process, it has been discovered. Engineers manage information in fewer places than in traditional workflows.
It is now possible to conceptually define and connect loads and the distribution system elements before creating a model of the system.
With this new workflow, electrical power distribution design workflows can be initiated from a BIM-centric perspective to enable them to be connected to downstream workflows in the future, with the hope that those workflows will be connected to downstream workflows in the future.
Innovations in Energy Analytical Models
While Next Gen Insight is still being developed, the new version has made a number of fundamental improvements to Revit’s Energy Analytical Model.
Developers are currently making a number of improvements to Next Gen Insight as the need for measuring and reducing Building Energy Use and Carbon Emissions.
Therefore, these improvements are likely to benefit both Insights for the early analysis of energy in the early phases, and Systems Analysis for simulating and sizing of energy in the later stages.
This not only offers a better foundation for developing Revit in the future, but it also allows for much faster Revit processing speeds and now removes memory restrictions for models of extremely large sizes in Revit 2023, allowing you to add even more enhancements.
Enhanced mechanical and electrical engineering services
With the latest version of the software, it has been made easier to create views for things like thermostats, since categories for Plumbing Equipment and Mechanical Control Devices have been added, making it easier to define views.
It should also be noted that in addition to this, there is now the possibility of re-hosting connectors within the family editor, so you can move them within the editor without having to redefine them again each time you need to move them.
The circuit number may be utilized in numerous views and tags in Revit 2023 thanks to a new parameter that enables it to be included in tags, schedules, and view filters exactly as it is for all other electrical devices and mechanical equipment.
Not to mention, the retain annotation orientation option has enhanced how annotation symbols nested in families appropriately keep orientation in specific situations.
Platform improvements
Revit’s MEP platform has been updated to include a number of new features that will benefit users of this platform. It is one of the most frequently requested features by users when it comes to the displacement of objects in 2D views.
Accuracy
Finding nodes used to be a long and laborious procedure. It was necessary to type the node’s name precisely as it appears on the node. Despite this, there was absolutely no assurance that it would succeed.
The new search is moving along much more quickly now. Like a Google search, there is a chance for errors as well, which is also advantageous. Although it is still far from ideal, there are still some issues with it, such as difficulties finding nodes.
Improvements in mechanical fabrication
A number of problems associated with consistency issues of holes in duct fittings that are used for damper blades have been addressed and the manufacturing workflows have been improved.
Previously, the behavior of the pattern could be somewhat unpredictable since there was insufficient support for holes across patterns, and this has now been improved.
Many times, holes do not develop in the duct when configured to do so. In other cases, holes do not develop in the correct locations, which results in a great deal of manual 2D modification of duct activities, disrupting manufacturing operations at times.
