Hysopt BIM Syncer can create a P&ID model (calculation model) from a Revit model. It uses a smart algorithm that first identifies the end units (heat emitters) in your system, such as radiators, fan coils, or floor heating. Then, it analyses how the system is connected with components and pipes, such as pumps, valves, or fittings. The algorithm stops when it reaches a production unit, such as a boiler, chiller, or heat pump. This way, Hysopt BIM Syncer can generate a complete and accurate P&ID model of your system.

The generated Hysopt model is created with “Base Circuit placeholders”. (What are base circuits?)
A placeholder is a useful tool when we want to generate a Hysopt model in the Hysopt BIM Syncer without knowing the classification of the component or without fully drawing the components (eg. floor heating). A placeholder allows us to assign a generic type to the base circuit, such as a production, component, pump, regime changing without specifying its type (eg. component → valve → on/off valve). This way, we can still model the system, even if we do not have a complete classification of the component. A placeholder can be replaced later by a specific component if needed.

Unprocessed mixing/dividing point in the system. Maybe you need to mark some components as endunit on these branches
...
We found a branch with an unknown location," this might indicate that the classification type of the pipe segments is not consistent in our BIM model
This point in the system has {number} pair of branches, this is not supported yet by the generator
Errors
No end units found

Successful Hysopt model generation
...
all HVAC related BIM elements were processed during the generation
...
Generated model contains parallel branches, this is not fully supported yet in Hysopt
