AX3000 is the leading construction software for building services engineering, energy engineering, and sustainability. It has evolved over 40 years, has been thoroughly tested every day in practice, and refined with countless improvements based on user feedback.
AX3000 is available as seamless integrated plug-in for AutoCAD, and BricsCAD. It is easy to learn, efficient to use, and universally applicable. With AX3000 you get a tool that allows you to work faster and smarter, saving time and effort. Once you have mastered AX3000, you will be amazed at how quickly you will finish your MEP projects.
Thanks to AX3000, you can concentrate on what you do best and enjoy most: planning, designing, and surveying. The software takes all the tedious technical work off your hands: final artwork, visualization, testing, parts lists, standard comparisons, etc.
Construction companies, general contractors, engineering offices, executing companies, and educational institutions, all use AX3000 to deliver their projects and to train the next generation of building services engineers and designers.
AX3000 was designed to be easy. You draw in your CAD program with the functions with which you are familiar. The user interface is easy to understand and works the same in every module. It is intuitive to use and requires only a brief introduction.
Convenient special solutions for planning and designing ventilation, heating, sanitation, and electrical systems in 2D or 3D. With the Easyline system, you can plan complex systems automatically using simple line commands. The software features many design aids that make your work so much easier, such as article libraries, smart symbols, functions for importing buildings, etc.
The software produces all necessary parts lists, fitting lists, and CNC production lists. Of course, exactly in line with the applicable European and international standards. All components can be evaluated graphically so that errors are easy to spot. Consistent data (ideal data flow) and defined data structures help to avoid misunderstandings.
AX3000 offers special solutions for all systems: ventilation, heating, sanitation, electricity, residential ventilation, and sprinkler. You use ONE tool with the same features for all planning stages. AX3000 guarantees optimum data flow between all systems.
Intuitive cross-window operation. Perfect 3D visualizations, cross sections, and perspective views. Graphics in all important forms: full-screen, black/white, without fills; with or without hidden edges.
The software is compatible with AutoCAD and BricsCAD, guaranteeing fast and loss-free data exchange. AX3000 offers standardized interfaces for heating and sanitation systems as well as for manufacturing interfaces such as Lockformer, Klimax, etc. The software supports all common standards: EU, DIN, Austrian standards, GOST, SNIP, Ashrae standards, etc. and is always up to date.
AX3000 is a modular solution, offering building services 2D and 3D design capabilities for:
The Ventilation module is a highly efficient tool for creating detailed implementation and installation plans. Start with the quick Easyline line-based systems dimensioning. Use your usual CAD drawing functions. AX3000 automatically provides you with a clear 3D view, automatically adding your choice of labels, cross section connectors, intermediate length calculations and section views. The module offers informative sewer system calculations, from pressure loss and sound to dynamic cooling and heating load simulations. With this tool, your planning process is not only efficient, but also extremely agile: you can easily calculate variants and change system layouts and system parts in seconds.
The Heating module is one of the most up-to-date and comprehensive solutions for designing heating systems. With AX3000 you can create complex systems quickly, securely, and easily. With its integrated material databases, automatic features, and interactive drawing functions, the software takes work off your hands. It also allows you to work in the CAD environment and with the drawing functions with which you are familiar. The Easyline tool enables you to design a system with simple line commands. Rest assured that all standards and regulations are considered during the design process. The software not only knows all applicable standards – for example EN 12831, H7500, VDI 6030, etc. – but also automatically accesses up-to-date databases for manufacturers’ objects and pipe material. All-important calculations and parts lists can be generated directly in the software.
The Electrics module offers convenient and efficient tools for all areas of electrical planning: from planning ductwork and routes to designing the electrical base and checking the circuits and ready-to-use analyses and lists in Microsoft Excel. Thanks to AX3000, you have full control over the electrical system and avoid costly mistakes: AX3000 provides you with reliable calculations, plausibility checks of circuits, an up-to-date article database and a convenient distribution manager for circuit management. As with all AX3000 modules, the descriptive visualisation functions are a delight. Switch between the 2 and 3-dimensional visualisations, display the cable routes isometrically and check your design visually with our integrated plausibility checks.
With the Sanitation module you save valuable time in sanitary planning. The software matches the other construction software modules perfectly and takes work off your hands thanks to cleverly designed automatic features. The tried-and-tested Easyline single-line dimensioning combined with smart drawing elements allow you to plan quickly and effortlessly. The module’s workflow has matured over the years, saving you loads of time and unnecessary mistakes. All-important standards have been incorporated into the module, automatically correcting your designs. The software automatically generates Excel lists which are necessary to implement your designs. You can also have your room book log comfortably created by the software.
Plan sprinkler systems quickly and effortlessly thanks to our sophisticated design aids. You can utilise usual CAD functions or, using Easyline, you can dimension the sprinkler system quickly and simply, even in difficult construction situations. Thanks to the constantly updated sprinkler components library, you can design the system logically and error-free right from the start. However, it is also possible to develop your own sprinkler types and customise them. The powerful visualisation aids are also available in the sprinkler module: visualise the sprinkler system in colour and 3D. View all details, including the individual components with connectors and clamp saddles. To make sprinkler designing easier, you can define pre-assembly groups and evaluate these groups graphically in the same way as individual components.
