AUTOFLUID INFINITY: a sneak peek of 2026

AUTOFLUID calculation features will be available in 'Rapid' versions to help you evaluate your budget more quickly during the design phase, or simply to obtain figures faster:

       - The 'Rapid pressure loss calculation'. AUTOFLUID will transform a simple single-line diagram of the network, drawn on the architect plan, into an interactive pressure loss calculation diagram. If you are already familiar with the network pipe sizes dynamic calculation commands, you will find this uses the same tried and tested method.

In DZETACAD, this calculation command will be added to the existing in-depth pressure loss calculation, providing a comprehensive overview of pressure losses across the entire network very quickly.

       - 'Rapid bill of materials'. As with pressure losses, the calculation will be based on a single-line diagram that is converted into an interactive calculation tool. During the design phase or to get an overview, AUTOFLUID can provide an initial estimate of the quantities of pipes and fittings required for the future network.

New exports of calculations to preformatted spreadsheets in Excel

The commands for 'Rapid size calculations' (also known as 'Network dimension calculations'), 'Rapid pressure drop calculations' and 'Rapid bill of materials calculation' will be equipped with features for exporting calculation data to Excel. You will be ready to deliver your annotated network calculation diagram alongside a summary of the calculations in table form in just a few clicks.

Even better hotline support

The hotline included in AUTOFLUID, already highly appreciated by AUTOFLUID users, is also set to expand. Using a single alert button in the software, you can send your hotline request along with an automatic report containing the 'software data' for the problem. Your incident will be resolved more quickly and you will contribute directly to the improvement of AUTOFLUID.

More detailed 3D networks

3D modelling in AUTOFLUID is constantly improving. In 2026, you will be able to cut long ducts into connected chunks more easily. Either by automatically placing clamps and counter-clamps at regular intervals along the length of the ducts, or by removing clamps and adding plugs to the vertical ducts.
