About MEPFlow
MEPFlow is browser-based mechanical design software for consulting engineers, mechanical designers, HVAC and plumbing professionals, and design-build contractors. It connects heating and cooling load calculations, ventilation and duct sizing, domestic-water and hydronic design, sanitary drainage, and underfloor heating in a shared floor-plan workspace. Users can organize building information, calculate room and system loads, lay out connected systems, size duct and pipe runs, and review calculation assumptions and results in one workflow. MEPFlow also provides public engineering calculators, including tools for pipe-water volume and hydronic flow, for standalone calculations without an account. The cloud application supports building-services design and early design-build planning, while calculated loads can inform subsequent system sizing. It focuses on mechanical system design rather than general-purpose CAD or BIM authoring.

HVAKR
HVAKR is cloud HVAC design software for commercial MEP engineers and HVAC design teams. Users upload architectural floor plans to create project spaces, establish zoning and envelope assumptions, and assign ASHRAE 62.1 space types. The software calculates heating and cooling loads using the Radiant Time Series method and supports workflows aligned with ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA 183. Engineers can revise design inputs, recalculate loads, and use natural-language tools to make bulk edits or identify spaces affecting loads. HVAKR carries project data from load calculations into airflow calculations, duct layout, and sizing. Teams can collaborate in shared projects, use a Revit add-in for Revit 2025 and 2026, and access a public API on paid plans; gbXML export is available on Team plans and higher.

Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts across the full operating range, to produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency and size. Motor-CAD software’s four integrated modules—EMag, Therm, Lab, Mech—enable multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly and iteratively, so users can get from concept to final design in less time. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of an electromechanical design. The release includes powerful new features for design optimization, multi-physics analysis and system modelling for electric motors. Fast multiphysics simulation across a full torque-speed operating range.

InsulEngine
InsulEngine is cloud-based takeoff and estimating software for mechanical insulation contractors. Users upload a plumbing or mechanical bid set and specification; the software measures pipe and duct from drawings, reads sizes from callouts, riser diagrams and schedules, and applies insulation requirements for material, thickness, jacketing and exclusions. Estimates use the contractor’s own costs, labor rates, waste and markup. The workflow covers domestic water and storm, heating and chilled water, steam and condensate, refrigerant line sets, and supply, return, outside-air and exhaust ductwork, including fittings, risers, drops and outdoor jacketing. Quantities are traceable to their drawing sheets, and unresolved items are flagged for estimator review. Contractors retain control over estimate assumptions and final bid pricing.

h2x
h2x is a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design platform that helps professionals design, calculate, and document building services systems. The software provides integrated tools for HVAC, plumbing, hydronic heating, drainage, gas, and fire protection system design. Its automated calculations support pipe sizing, duct sizing, heat load analysis, flow rates, pressure drops, and equipment requirements. Engineers can create system layouts and receive updated calculations automatically as design elements change. h2x also provides 3D visualization, engineering reports, bills of materials, and exports to AutoCAD, Revit, and PDF formats. The platform is designed to streamline building services engineering workflows by combining technical calculations, system design, and project documentation in one environment.
