The ultimate solution for fire protection system problems, AutoCAD® compatible


The new FireCad 2008 represents a new approach for the designer interested in fire protection design.
Thank to Autodesk® OEM technology and its integration with the other modules in the Mc4Suite 2008, FireCad 2008 is unbeatable in productivity and calculation accuracy.
Principal characteristics Versions
 
FireCad 2008 is professional software which has been created to design fire net systems, to calculate the fire loads and to verify the ST (stability), S (seal) and TI (thermal insulation) structure coefficient.
The program is able to size the sprinklers and hydrants pipe net in any configuration. It is also able to calculate the pump’s pressure in any pipe net form.
FireCad is a sophisticated and accurate calculation instrument which can effectively simulate the real performance of a fire pipe net.
Graphical input, AutoCAD® compatible
FireCad 2008 is integrated and AutoCAD® compatible. Programmed by Autodesk® OEM technology, FireCad makes it possible to draw the protected areas. Using simple commands, it is possible to draw the pipe net from the source to the terminals.
Additionally, the user can quickly create the input by using the architectural plan in dwg or raster image files format.
The output’s file is in dwg format and will contain all information concerning the project.

Mc4Suite 2008 data sharing
FireCad is Mc4Suite 2008 integrated.
In order to obtain all surface’s areas, the length of perimeter, the type of structures, it uses HvacCad input, which allows for maximum productivity with minimum risk of error.

Unequaled calculation reliability
The algorithm employed for system design represents the cutting edge in speed efficiency available on the market today.
It is based on a mathematical-physics methodology, which allows it to solve hydraulic pipe net equations of any complexity and spatial configuration. In fact, the program solves the non-linear equations system concerning the pipe net by calculating the pressure drop and the water flow rate.
The program accurately simulates the fire net performance. The user can calculate the pipe net system with all sprinklers/hydrants working simultaneously and connected to the same pump source.

Only FireCad automatically positions the sprinkler system according to the roof pitch and vertical plane
Another outstanding feature of this product is that FireCad is the only software which allows the user to easily design the sprinkler network even in complex situations like a pitched roof or a vertical plane (according to fire regulations for storage facilities).
