Calculation BIM software

Overview

Sizing a beam, a heating load, or a pipe is a different job from modeling the whole building. This page is that shorter list. Windows is the usual platform. The browser shows up on a few cards, and macOS shows up on Enji.io.

Calcs.com is the browser subscription for beam and column design, wind and seismic checks, and calculation PDFs, with public annual prices. HVAKR is a paid trial in the browser for ASHRAE 62.1 and 90.1 heating and cooling loads, including a Revit transfer. LINEAR Solutions is the enterprise quote Windows listing for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and duct and pipe sizing. MagiCAD Piping is the paid Windows listing for pressure-drop and piping calculations.

Enji.io is freemium, on the web, Windows, and macOS, for member checks and spreadsheet automation. The MEP sizing cards are paid or enterprise quote. Read the standard named in the tasks before you treat two cards as the same kind of math.

Frequently asked questions

Which calculation listings are freemium?

Enji.io is freemium for structural checks and spreadsheet automation on the web, Windows, and macOS. Toolblocks is freemium on Windows for unit conversion, code lookup, and shortcut access. Calcs.com is a subscription, not part of that freemium pair.

What does the Calcs.com listing do?

Calcs.com is a browser subscription. The tasks are beam and column design, wind and seismic checks, calculation PDFs, linked project loads, and custom calculators. Public annual prices are on the tool page.

Are the MEP sizing tools in this calculation list on Windows?

LINEAR Solutions, MagiCAD Piping, and MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer all list Windows. LINEAR Solutions is enterprise quote and covers HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and load calculation. MagiCAD Piping and MagiCAD Sprinkler Designer are paid listings for piping calculations and sprinkler hydraulics.

Does ElectroBIM show a price?

Yes. ElectroBIM is a paid trial on Windows for voltage drop, fault current, feeder sizing, and selective coordination. The listing includes public monthly and yearly prices. It is not a freemium card.

How do I read a missing price on a calculation card?

LINEAR Solutions and MIDAS Gen are enterprise quote, so they do not show a package price. HVAKR is a paid trial and does print prices. A missing amount means you need the vendor, not that the tool is free.
