CADDY® PLANNER Design Calculation Software

CADDY® PLANNER Design Calculation SoftwarePrint this page

  CADDY® PLANNER is free design calculation software that greatly simplifies the design process for mechanical contractors and planners. This useful tool simulates fixation of pipe runs during construction in real time. Mechanical contractors and planners can design and plan mechanical installations for large or small projects from start to finish.

Features

 
 CADDY PLANNER Library:
  • Fully rendered 3-dimensional library of CADDY® products
  • Assistants: Pipe clamp selector, strut load, cantilever load, strut and cantilever selector, CADDY® SPEED LINK length calculator
  • Eliminates cumbersome catalogs and the endless search for the right product for a specific application
  • Software includes full 2D/3D CAD libraries with CADDY products
  • All types of pipe dimensional and technical data included in software logic - including: steel/copper/stainless steel/plastic pipes
  • Continual free updates of product data
  • Can receive layout input from a floor plan, cross section, or simple dimensional data to create a 3D design environment
  • Can be used from the comfort of your desk top with your own free copy of the software
  • The entire process only takes minutes
 
 Additional Benefits of CADDY PLANNER:
  • When placing components, CADDY PLANNER automatically compiles data relating to dimensional accuracy, certifications/approvals, necessary counter/complimentary components, etc.
  • Simplifies the task of facility engineering and subsequent procurement decisions by calculating clearances, tolerances, load ratings, distance to ceiling/wall/floor
  • 3D allows for a virtual walk through of design, making planning easier, helping to avoid miscalculations, and increasing productivity
  • Easy ‘drag and drop’ interface makes planning, design, and corrections simple
  • Hovering over component properties with your mouse enables quick identification
  • When placing components, CADDY PLANNER automatically helps ensure that all strut and cantilever loads are within acceptable safety margins and automatically default to the longest acceptable support span for the smallest pipe in run
  • Automatically generates positional identification and cutting lists to help ensure accurate prefabrication can be done at the shop, reducing prep time on the job-site and increasing your build team’s efficiency
  • Automatically generates an Excel exportable parts list of products that will be needed to complete the job, making purchasing decisions easy
  • Supplies finished drawings, which can be used for further planning or as assembly instructions
  • Easy to use, programmed help, liNear Training Centers Aachen and Berlin, liNear Support Center

Applications

CADDY PLANNER allows contractors to simulate fixation of pipe runs during construction in real time. The 3D modeling allows for a virtual walk-through of the design, which makes planning easier, helps to avoid miscalculations and increases productivity.
