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.
To identify if a Revit component is an end unit, Hysopt BIM Syncer uses the classification of a Revit component. If it is not possible to identify if a Revit component is an end unit, than you should help the algorithm with adding assistance parameters.
Basecircuit placeholders
The generated model contains “Base Circuit placeholders”
because not all components are ‘recognizable’(standardization issue)
o nly if classification is available (ETIM, uniclass , omniclass , .CBNL,
if classification is available, we will add correct generation in the future
sbecause
sometimes components are not completely drawn
(e.g. floorheating , see next
For most of the calculations supported by the BIM
Syncer
we don’t necessarily need to replace these placeholders
Except for following two exceptions :
System check pump
Pipe calculations regime changing components (see following example)
Semantic validation (see further)
Header configurations (see further)
Activate the “Sync views” and verify that also the mapping has been generated.
Click on some pipes and elements in Hysopt or Revit, and verify that the ‘counterpart’ is highlighted
Example : placeholder for a component in the supply
Revit Piping system
In the Hysopt BIM Syncer we know several applications :
heating
cooling
By default, the Hysopt BIM Syncer will take a look at the endunits, and based on the available info on that endunits, generate a model with the corresponding application. If no further information is available, it will generate by default a heating application.
