Simple, quick and intuitive commands that work out all your duct sizes in a diagram of your network.
Before drawing your HVAC and plumbing designs, it is always necessary to calculate the size of each segment of your network. AUTOFLUID already facilitates these calculations based on a quick diagram of your network. However, the new dynamic calculations diagrams take this to a whole new level.
Need to change the flow rate of a branch? The section sizes for your entire network are recalculated instantly. Do you need to add more branches to your network? Their flow rates are automatically included in the global calculation and all results are updated.
You can test different calculation parameters, redesign your network as your project evolves, or simply make a mistake – AUTOFLUID INFINITY’s dynamic section calculation commands will work it out again for you.

The AUTOFLUID suite tool bars have now been replaced with a completely new design ribbon. It has a better structure, providing direct and therefore quicker access to controls which are now grouped together in panels.
The ribbons provide a better visual relation to the position of each tool. A unified colour scheme for the whole interface and new icon graphics make identifying the controls significantly easier.
These legibility and comfort improvements speed up your interactions with the Suite’s various controls and reduce fatigue when using the software for long periods of time. Even learning to use the software is made easier.

You can be more productive when you work with greater fluidity and ease, you can focus on the most important thing: the quality of your project. Getting more productivity out of AUTOFLUID users means paying attention to every detail and getting the most out of each interaction with the application, whether selecting a duct or rendering a view quickly.
A beta version of the new updated AUTOCOUPE application is now available. Just select the ducts you need on the plan view to generate a cross-section view of them. The view options can be used to add a floor slab and/or suspended ceiling.
Please note that AUTOCOUPE is still under development. Until the final version is released, it may produce incomplete views that should still be quite easy to complete manually.
All good things come to those who wait! It is now possible to connect a vertical duct to the top or the bottom side of a horizontal duct. Select the duct configuration and it will be drawn immediately.
No need to click on a specific line to select an object when routing. For greater flexibility, any line of a network can now be used to select it.
Improvements to the zoning tool now provide even greater flexibility. Once the limits are set, the zone can now be warped using the magnetic grips.

Transforming the toolbar into a ribbon was also the perfect occasion to add a whole new dimension to the routing tools. No need to set the network type when you use the elbow, material, flocking or heat-proof detailing commands. So you can continue to design your network without having to keep selecting the routing type all the time. This is one of the new smart tools that can recognize which type of routing to use.
Wether on ducts, connections or materials, the universal pick up command automatically adapts so you can continue routing without having to select either the routing type or a specific entity.
Inserting a slanted duct into a network is now easier than ever. Once it is in place, the AUTOFLUID control automatically adjusts the neighbouring objects.
Just select a group of entities, such as the outline of a part of a network, and the control will automatically attribute a new layer for each line type included in the selection.

The reliable distribution of the networks over their corresponding levels is essential when you work collectively with a BIM model. To make management easier and achieve greater compatibility with REVIT, the level parameters are now included in each AUTOFLUID project’s basic preferences.

One of the main innovations of the AUTOFLUID INFINITY package is that your software suite will be in a constant state of improvement. So AUTOFLUID INFINITY will inform you as soon as a new update or patch becomes available so that you can easily make the most of all of the latest developments. Then it’s up to you if you want to know more or just immediately start installing the update. You save time and are always aware of new developments to the AUTOFLUID INFINITY Suite.

Your AUTOFLUID Suite is now no longer limited to just one work station. You can now use your IDN activation code to activate it on any PC that you have already declared. This is perfect for working with AUTOFLUID from home or on a client mission.
At the start of your AUTOFLUID INFINITY subscription you will receive your Suite’s the unique “IDN” code. This replaces the USB keys used before. Once you have entered the code, just open a project or import your preferences and you will be immediately at home in your regular working environment.
