AutoCAD MEP Mechanical Essentials Course Description


Course Description:

This course is designed for the AutoCAD® MEP user who wants to learn how to implement a mechanical HVAC system using AutoCAD MEP. This course uses hands-on exercises to teach students how to determine energy requirements, add HVAC equipment, ductwork, and fittings, and create construction documents using AutoCAD MEP. The course addresses both imperial and metric systems.

Suggested Course Duration:         1 day
Trial CD:                                               Yes
Onscreen Exercises Included?      Yes


Training Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to teach students the basic functions necessary for professional 2D drawing, design, and drafting using AutoCAD MEP.
 
After completing this course, the student will be able to:

  • Determine energy requirements for engineering spaces.
  • Create and annotate schematic diagrams.
  • Create an HVAC system with single line ducts, ductwork, and fittings.
  • Size ductwork systems.
  • Create construction documents.


Who Should Attend

This course is designed for new users of AutoCAD MEP.
