 | CATIA HVAC Diagrams 2 (HVD) provides you with a complete set of tools to create and manage logical designs of HVAC systems using industry standard conventions, terminology, and practices. The tools are focused on creating an intelligent diagram that captures all appropriate design information. This intelligent diagram capability enables you to create and validate your designs more productively. Additionally, the captured intelligence can be reused for downstream design processes, providing further benefits to your overall business processes.
CATIA HVAC Diagrams 2 (HVD) supports the definition of HVAC diagrams. This involves general layout tools to place and locate equipment and the creation and management of duct lines. In addition, full capabilities are provided to quickly annotate diagrams with intelligent annotation, query design information, and generate appropriate report information. All these design tools employ a highly intuitive and productive user interface that allows you to modify and manage their designs quickly and easily.
CATIA HVAC Diagrams 2 (HVD) is integrated with the 3D HVAC Design 2 product. This function enables you to use a HVAC Diagram design to directly drive the creation of the 3D detailed design using the HVAC product. The overall integration between the 2D and 3D products provides tremendous benefit to your design process because it ensures the quality of the design and significantly improves your productivity.
Together with Dassault's Data Management offerings, the CATIA HVAC Diagrams 2 (HVD) products give you the power to manage your systems from initial design to ship or plant operations, in a way that that is easily adapted to how you work.

CATIA HVAC Diagrams 2 (HVD) is integrated with the 3D HVAC Design 2 product. This function enables you to use an HVAC Diagram 2D schematic to directly drive the creation of the 3D detailed design using the HVAC Design product. The overall integration between the 2D and 3D products provides tremendous benefit in the design process both in the quality of the design and in productivity.
- Creation and management of intelligent HVAC lines
You can create HVAC lines with standard industry attribute information. You define your own project-specific attributes to be included on HVAC line definitions. Once an HVAC line is defined, it can be shared across multiple diagram documents to ensure consistency in the design. As components are placed and ducting functions are created in the diagram, they automatically become members of a ducting line. Conversely, the attributes of the ducting line definition are propagated to these objects. Duct line definitions can be imported from either an off-site design team member or legacy database to seed their designs.
- Definition and placement of equipment
A catalog facility is provided to allow you to quickly and easily place equipment objects from a catalog into your design. In addition, user defined project-specific equipment can be created and placed locally in the diagram design.
- Placement and/or insertion of intelligent duct components
HVAC ducts and components can be placed from a catalog using a highly interactive user interface. This user interface includes dynamic design rule checking in order to ensure proper placement of the duct components. The placement facility allows placement into free space and insertion into HVAC lines. As components are placed, they automatically inherit information from the appropriate HVAC line. In addition to placing an object from a catalog, the placement utility allows you to place new copies of existing components from your design. Using the HVAC diagrams product with its built-in intelligence as a driver for specification-driven 3D duct/part placement, you achieve true HVAC diagram to 3D model integration.
- Line routing and connectivity management
You can route lines using a highly interactive user interface including dynamic design rule checking to ensure compatible connections. The routing facility provides you with multiple routing modes including single step, horizontal/vertical, horizontal/vertical/45, and point-to-point routing modes.
- Placement and management of off sheet connectors
You can place off or on sheet connectors to define logical connections within or across documents. Once defined, these off sheets can be 'queried' to generate a list of associated elements or documents.
- Creation and management of intelligent annotations
You can create fully associative annotations as well as standard annotations within a diagram. These annotations may be linked to properties of objects and automatically updated based on property modifications or diagram changes. Single annotations may include standard text and multiple linked attribute values. Annotation templates with attribute link information are saved and placed in an annotation catalog from where they can be placed in the diagram as needed. In addition dynamic annotations with attribute links may be associated to catalog components. These dynamic annotations are then automatically updated upon component placement.
- Generation of object IDs based on user defined rules
Define ID rules (schema) to specify company specific naming formats and conventions per objects. ID rules can be assigned to individual classes of objects. When objects are created in the design document, their ID's will be generated automatically using the user defined ID rules.
- Modification of intelligent diagrams
You are provided with a set of tools to effectively manage the modification of your design. Examples include a highly intuitive network stretch capability, query and modification of object properties, flow direction management, connect/disconnect capabilities, and deletion with automatic line repair, plus the ability to scale connected components and have the network adjust automatically. In addition, knowledgeware design rules can be used to create and/or manage modifications of the design. To illustrate this, sample rules are provided that modify the graphic representation of objects based on changes to the attribute values.
- Query and analysis of diagram designs
You can perform a wide variety of queries and/or analyses against your design. Examples include searching for objects based on class, querying object properties, querying/analyzing connectivity, and querying of flow information. You can easily query object properties as well as physical properties and 2D/3D integration status. Additionally, you now have the option of displaying the specification tree organized by discipline. A design check facility, based on knowledgeware, enables you to run design checks against P&ID drawing to identify potential errors or inconsistency in the design. Design rules can be assigned to individual classes of objects. A sample set of checks includes, non-standard ID, unconnected off sheet or object, and inconsistent duct nominal size.
- Generation of Reports (e.g., BOM)
A comprehensive reporting capability is part of the infrastructure supporting the HVAC Schematic Diagram product. You can generate reports using sample reports provided with the product. Sample reports include HVAC line from/to list, equipment list, and part list. In addition, you can define and create new reports or customize the sample reports to meet your specific requirements.
- Creation of intelligent objects using "smart" component build facility and catalog tools
The product is built around the concept of "smart" objects that understand their classification, property, and behavior information. In order to create and manage the required "smart" components, a component build facility and a catalog management facility are provided. Once you have created a catalog of smart components, you will use these catalogs as part of the component placement facility to place the components into their design. In addition, industry-based starter catalogs are included as part of the product.
