Advantages of AXON-vent

Let us briefly introduce our software before the demonstration

  1. GET RESULTS 5-7 TIMES FASTER thanks to the intelligent automation
    in AXON-vent
  2. MAKE YOUR WORK EASIER. Unlike other programs, AXON-vent is much easier
    to use than AutoCAD.
  3. IMPROVE YOUR DESIGN QUALITY by investing most of your time in design,
    not in routine work

EASIER. BUT BETTER.
Robot-assisted HVAC design
The design process in AXON-vent is radically different. 
AXON-vent is your own robot assistant. You design
on a 2D plan, the robot understands what you
have drawn and does routine work instead of you (read more)


BIM DONE RIGHT
Be ahead of your colleagues
In AXON-vent, you have to specify only an
absolute minimum of information required at
each design step, thanks to the natural workflow.

2D WITHOUT COMPROMISES
Quick and easy design on 2D plan. Draw ducts, not lines.
Freedom of drawing stylization using familiar AutoCAD®,  BricsCAD® or ZWCAD® tools


3D AUTOMATICALLY
AXON-vent automatically creates 3D in real-time
while you're designing on a 2D plan

The sections are created automatically by AXON-vent

ISOMETRY
Created automatically

You can use any font, text size,
leader style you like and use all
standard features of AutoCAD®,
BricsCAD® or ZWCAD®

FLOW SUMMATION
Flow summation is done automatically

PRESSURE DROP CALCULATION
AXON-vent automatically generates the ductwork
schematics and presents the calculation results in Excel®

SCHEDULE/BILL OF MATERIALS
The data is collected automatically. Get result as a table in Excel®

EFFORTLESS BIM
Design, instead of modeling
No direct BIM modeling, no distracting details. 
You design on the 2D plan, AXON-vent creates
3D information model automatically

USE REVIT FAMILIES
AXON-vent unique feature - you can use
Revit® families in AutoCAD® and BricsCAD®

Thanks for watching!


The demonstration showcased the main features of the AXON-vent software for ventilation design on a test project. 

AXON-vent has been successfully used for over 10 years in the design of objects of any complexity in civil, industrial, military construction, and subway design.

The success of your work is our goal. We provide comprehensive support to our users. AXON-vent software is continuously evolving and getting new exciting features.

AXON-vent is sincerely recommended to friends and colleagues!
