Revit MEP 2008
 Revit
MEP software is an intuitive design and documentation tool that works
the way engineers think. Minimize coordination errors between mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design teams, as well as with
architects and structural engineers using the Revit platform and building
information modeling (BIM) workflows. Gain better decision making and
building performance analysis support for engineers, facilitating sustainable
design. Collaborate seamlessly using models developed with Revit Architecture
or Revit Structure software. And finally, make a change anywhere and Revit
MEP coordinates that change everywhere in your design and documentation
set. Revit MEP-building information modeling for MEP engineering.
Revit MEP software is available as part of AutoCAD
Revit MEP Suite, which also includes Autodesk’s leading AutoCAD-based

1. What is Revit MEP?
Revit MEP is the building information modeling design and documentation
software for MEP engineering. Use an intuitive design tool that works
the way engineers think. Minimize coordination errors between mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design teams; collaborate with
architects and structural engineers using the Revit platform and building
information modeling workflows; and realize better building performance
analysis support for engineers.
2. Is Revit MEP software the product that used to be called Autodesk Revit
Systems?
Yes. Revit MEP was formerly known as Autodesk Revit Systems. To better
align the Autodesk® product line with the needs and requirements of
customers in the AEC industry, Autodesk has modified the names of some
products, which you will see reflected in the new 2008 product line. We
believe that these name changes simplify the choices you have when it
comes to selecting the best product for your professional needs.
3. What are the main benefits of Revit MEP Software?
- Design Intuitively with Tools That Work the Way Engineers Think
Enjoy an intuitive, straightforward process with software that mirrors
the real world of engineering. Revit MEP works holistically, treating
information in terms of the entire building, linking mechanical, electrical,
and plumbing systems with the building model. Reap the competitive advantage
of BIM by aiding the engineer to optimize MEP systems design for buildings
and gain better building performance analysis support for engineers.
Get design feedback instantly from the building information model when
working within a Revit-based architectural and engineering (A&E)
workflow. Realize the benefit of data-driven design to easily keep track
of a project’s scope, schedule, and budget.Increase Coordination
with Parametric Change Management
- Maximize the efficiency of your Revit-based A&E design development
and construction documentation process by completing the building information
model with Revit MEP. Minimize design coordination errors between mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing engineering design teams as well as with architects
and structural engineers. Enhance client communications and accelerate
decision making through in-process visualization. Collaborate smoothly
by using a building model developed in Revit® Architecture or Revit®
Structure software products.
Improve Your Business with Enhanced Communication
- Create a realistic representation of a building’s MEP engineering
systems for enhanced communication of design intent to your clients.
Benefit from the automated exchange of engineering design data from
the building information model. Find errors sooner, before they show
up in the field, avoiding costly redesign on site. Minimize application
management with a comprehensive MEP engineering solution.
4. Does Revit MEP support sustainable design through building performance
analysis?
Yes. Revit MEP facilitates better decision making through the use of building
performance analysis in supporting your sustainable design strategy. Autodesk
and IES have a strategic relationship that allows a Revit model to be
used directly with the building performance analysis tools of the IES
virtual environment (IES VE). Better define your design strategy by performing
heating and cooling load analysis within the Revit model as well as other
analysis within the IES VE such as daylighting thermal and energy analysis.
5. What is Revit?
Revit® software is Autodesk’s platform for building information
modeling. Applications such as Revit MEP built on the Revit® platform
are complete, discipline-specific building design and documentation systems
supporting all phases of design and construction documentation. Applications
built on Revit help provide immediate competitive advantage, deliver better
coordination and accuracy, and can contribute to higher profitability
for MEP engineering firms. At the heart of the Revit platform is the Revit
parametric change engine, which automatically coordinates changes made
anywhere—in model views or drawing sheets, schedules, sections,
and plans.
6. What is building information modeling?
Building information modeling (BIM) is the creation and use of coordinated,
internally consistent, computable information about a building project
in design and construction. The ability to keep this information up-to-date
and accessible in an integrated digital environment gives architects,
engineers, builders, and owners a clear overall vision of their projects
and contributes to the ability to make better decisions faster—helping
raise the quality and increase the profitability of projects. For more
information about building information modeling and Autodesk’s strategy
for the application of information technology to the building industry,
see the white papers and other information at www.autodesk.com/bim.
7. What is parametric change management? What does parametric mean, and
how does the parametric change engine keep everything updated when I make
changes?
The term parametric in this context refers to the relationships among
and between all elements of the model that enable the coordination and
change management that Revit MEP provides. These relationships are created
either automatically by the software or deliberately by the user as the
user works. A fundamental characteristic of a building information modeling
application is the ability to coordinate changes and maintain consistency
at all times. The user does not have to intervene to update drawings or
links.
At the heart of Revit MEP is technology that is new to MEP design and
documentation systems: a parametric change engine. Revit MEP is built
from the ground up using this technology. The Revit MEP parametric change
engine uses the information captured as the designer works to build a
network of relationships among elements. When the designer changes something,
Revit MEP immediately applies that change to any affected elements. This
concept is important because it is this capability that delivers the fundamental
coordination and productivity benefits of Revit MEP: Change anything at
any time anywhere in the project and Revit MEP coordinates that change
through the entire project. This change management is also one of the
fundamental characteristics of a building information modeling solution.
8. Is a network version of Revit MEP available?
Yes. Revit MEP uses standard Autodesk network license management. Enhanced
Autodesk standard licensing software helps you get the full benefit from
your software licenses. For example, with the new license borrowing feature
you can install a time-limited license on your computer while disabling
the license on the server for that same period. You can run Revit MEP
without having a connection to the license server.
9. Who should consider purchasing Revit MEP?
MEP engineering professionals should consider using Revit MEP for its
benefits as a design and documentation software application. Optimize
systems engineering through data-driven system sizing and design. Minimize
coordination errors between MEP engineering design teams, as well as with
architects and structural engineers within Revit-based workflows. Accelerate
decision making through the automated creation of engineering design data
and enhanced client communications.
