New FINE24 and FINE-CLOUD: the power of BIM for MEP Design

In addition, FINE has been also rebuilt as native cloud application to take advantage of the unique cloud computing benefits. Among the new features of FINE24 are a total redesign on top of the latest ITC and ODA libraries, compatibility with Revit, enhanced supervision, faster display engine for the 3D building model, enriched dialogs for AutoBLD (building shell) and AutoNET (piping networks), new material libraries on top of the Firebird platform, more detailed bill of materials, a large expansion of the network calculation spreadsheets, and many others.

Beyond the improvements listed above that are common for the six FINE-MEP verticals (FineHVAC, FineSANI, FineFIRE, FineELEC, FineGAS, and FineLIFT), there are also specific improvements for each vertical closely related to the domain they are dealing with. For example, the new version of FineHVAC introduces, among others, the thermal bridges smart manager, the sophisticated wizard to calculate u-factors through the structural element layers, the accurate heat pump selection based on the HVAC efficiency curves, the precise hydraulic calculations when it comes to the piping sizing, and more.

In addition, the brand new Cloud Version of FINE24, FINE-CLOUD, provides its users with a high degree of flexibility in choosing among several work environment options, constituting at the same time a powerful collaborative environment of high synergy among designers themselves and also third parties (i.e., project owner, contractor, facility manager, etc.). Besides, FINE-CLOUD (a stand-alone version or in conjunction with other 4M BIM apps) covers all the eight BIM dimensions: intelligent 3D building modeling (3D BIM), construction scheduling and phasing (4D BIM), costing and budgeting (5D BIM), sustainability (6D BIM), facility management (7D BIM) and health and safety (8D BIM).
